#A2Oselects “This image is an expression of vulnerability of minority groups in society. We hide their faces to pretend they are not human, thus giving right to all forms of entitlement to maltreatment, outrageous and inhuman acts” — Nana Kwadwdo Agyei Addo (@addonaddo) Muse: @prince__b07 Photography: @addonaddo @accrastudioslive Style: @kwasipaul_official ——— #Accra #Ghana #AccraStudiosLive #BlackModels #Conceptual #Outcast (at Accra, Ghana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCdbQcPAiBx/?igshid=1k8j2k2mvy8ne

@shakka.d.badmon :: “Often we think about life in many forms, A burden, a gift, a blessing I think of it as a package and nothing more, Allow me to explain as my mind begins undressing. …. What’s in your package right now? you see, No package is the same, But the worth is of same value It’s ego that will tell you yours is more important Because no one can tell you how to Care for others as you should for your own. I often see gluttony and greed at the forefront and compassion is the thing that we’ve outgrown.” —— ‘The Package’, words from a black man, artist, model & poet Shaquille Aaron Kieth (@shakka.d.badmon) —— #A2OSelects #ShakkaDBadmon #Poetry #BlackArt #PAQ #BlackLivesMatter #SpokenWord #SupportBlackArtists #London #BlackBoyJoy (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBF-f1ZAEIS/?igshid=186jccwoscnf8

RP @tonyola_007 :: #Sundaze || ©️Adeola Olagunju (@_deolagold_) Image from the series ‘Navigating a Dark Space’. A scar is the means by which a body carries the forgotten residue of a memory. In an alternate instance, the body heals, but the memory lingers on. Thus the Yoruba saying ‘Oju apa o le da bi oju ara’, which loosely translates — that it is impossible for a scarred body to look the same after it has healed. The statement also alludes to healing that is beyond the physical. #AndreGide encapsulated my sentiments when he said: “Art begins with resistance-at the point where resistance is overcome. But what kind of art can be made from acceptance?” - @_deolagold_ — #A2Oselects #AdeolaOlagunju #Photography #ArtIsLife #PowerOfArt #ArtAsTherapy #Healing #Candles https://www.instagram.com/p/B_vF7KYgHoQ/?igshid=a9saohrzkrk9
