Cynthia Nyakiro Ngunjiri is a multimedia visual artist based in Nairobi, Kenya. Nyakiro has been interested in the arts since childhood. โ€œI always had a desire to express myself and I found out at an early age that I can translate my thoughts into something concrete.โ€ After completing high school, she took a degree in architecture at Nelson Mandela University before choosing to follow her passion in the visual arts, studying Fine Art at Kenyatta University. Nyakiro draws her inspiration from nature and human relationships, as well as the metaphysical. She works with various media such as recycled paper, x-rays, magazine cut-outs, ink, bleach, pigment, photography and digital media. Her works embody the creativity that she garners from her environment. Inspired by the Dadaist movement, she uses the techniques of photomontage and collage. โ€œI like to gather various objects, observing their nature, taking them apart and grouping them together. I view every material I collect for my pieces as having infinite lives. By distorting and pasting different bits and pieces together, I breathe life into them โ€“ give them new significance.โ€ Her work is in private collections locally and internationally. ๐Ÿ”ฅ For more artists and artworks, visit our website: https://maskcreate.org/mask-awards/mask-awards-2022 #supportartists #onetowatch #onlineartgallery #artcollector #artforoffice #photooftheday #photography #picoftheday #TalantaHela #contemporaryafricanart #creative #africandiaspora #africainspired #artistsoninstagram

This African country has 150 million people and is the 10th largest in the world. And in 2021, it sent $49 billion to other African countries. Guess the country? Well, itโ€™s not a country. It's the African diaspora, and it's the continent's secret weapon. The diaspora is a catch-all term for people of African origin living outside the continent. Whether you were born in Africa but moved for workโ€”or if your grandparents are from the continent but never set foot on it โ€”youโ€™re a part of Africaโ€™s diaspora. Africa's diaspora is one of the most powerful forces on the continent. In 2021, the African diaspora sent $49 billion back to Africa in remittances (money sent back to family and friends). In six African countries, those remittances made up over 10% of GDPโ€”a lifeline to those countries. Africaโ€™s diaspora is a phenomenal resource for good. But while the diaspora sends billions in remittances, We can't shake the feeling that sending money is a low-leverage way to have an impact back home. And it begs the question: What would happen if you could mobilise 150 million people to contribute to and support the development of African real estate and entrepreneurs solving the continent's hardest problems? What do you think of the worldโ€™s 10th largest country? As part of Africaโ€™s diaspora, are you ready to get more involved in investing back home?

The African Diaspora encompasses individuals and communities of African origin living outside the African continent, spanning regions such as the Americas, Europe, the Caribbean, and other parts of the world.

Carnival or Carnaval is more than feathers. There are entities and characters and personifications that come out to play mas and revel in the good times before Lent. This tradition of debauchery is common across the globe. Kudos to those keeping traditions alive. In blue you have #damelorraine , in pink WITH somebody lil baby you have #babydoll, with the captains hat you have #fancysailor , in black cape and large brim hat you have #midnightrobber and finally, my take homage to warrior Queens Aminah, Nzinga and Nanny all of African descent that history tries to erase. No one country owns Carnaval, it is a shared culture and we each celebrate it in unique ways. Please respect that to foster better understanding among us. I am neither Caribbean nor Brazilian but I do my research to understand both cultures and have better appreciation of the similarities we share. Long live the #africandiaspora โœŠ๐Ÿฟ

Along the coast of Benin, voodoo is the most spread religion, passing on from the ancestors to the new generation Every year in Benin, locals celebrate a festival in tribute to the deities of Voodoo, the indigenous religion worshipping natural spirits and revering their ancestors Increasingly, the festival is drawing people of African descent from America, Brazil and the Caribbean seeking to discover the religion and land of their ancestors enslaved and shipped away from the beaches of west Africa. Voodoo, known locally as Vodoun, originated in the Dahomey kingdom now present day Benin and Togo and is still widely practised sometimes alongside Christianity in coastal towns like Ouidah, once a trading hub where memorials to the slave trade are dotted around the small beach settlement.

"Joy is an act of resistance" -Toi Derricotte In order to maintain its power, every dominant system must corrupt or distort the various sources of power that inspire and build the oppressed. It must sap away our energy, in order to keep us from discovering our own strengths and abilities. When we celebrate our cultures, we show that we are resilient. In these moments of joy, we own our strengths and embrace our abilities. Yesterday, @movingspiritsinc @baila_peruclt and @melody_shanahan_ballerina showed us the beauty of their cultures and their resilience through dance!

The #WarholFoundation funded exhibition โ€œFrom the Deep: In the Wake of Drexciya with Ayana V. Jacksonโ€ on view at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, is the first monographic exhibition for acclaimed photographer, Ayana V. Jackson. Known for her costumed self-portraits, Jackson expands her practice in this exhibition including animation, immersive video, installation, sound, and scent to create a series of haunting yet profoundly beautiful and empowering encounters that draw upon African water spirits from Senegal to South Africa. Jackson was inspired by Detroit-based 1990s techno band Drexciya whose albums imagined a mythical Aquatopia populated by the descendants of pregnant Africa women were thrown or who jumped overboard into the Atlantic Ocean during the Middle Passage. This sonic storytelling aligns closely with Jacksonโ€™s practice as her work examines myths of the Black diaspora and explores themes around race, gender, and reproduction. โ  โ  The Foundation supports this exhibition for its visually sophisticated and politically committed way of commenting on Black history and Black representation as well as its role in allowing Ayana V. Jackson to expand her practice from the static images she is well known for to a more immersive sensory realm. โ  .โ  Ayana V. Jackson, It is Only When You Lose Your Mother That She Becomes a Myth, 2020. Archival pigment print on German etching paper, 74 x 68 in.

Portrait of young Wodaabe woman adorned with traditional facial scarification and black tattoo markings.The Wodaabe people, who are a subgroup of the Fulani ethnic group, have a traditional practice of facial scarification and black tattoo-like markings. The scars and markings are usually done during adolescence as a rite of passage into adulthood and are considered a symbol of beauty and identity within the Wodaabe community. This traditional practice is slowly dying out due to various factors such as urbanization, westernization, and the influence of Islam, which discourages body modification. Some young Wodaabe people are now opting not to have facial scars or tattoos because they want to blend in with modern society or because they feel that the practice is outdated.Despite this decline, there are still many Wodaabe people who continue to uphold the tradition of facial scarification and black tattoos, and it remains an important part of their cultural heritage.

@junglejuice.tulum celebrated 1 YR in Tulum, MX. Itโ€™s been a rollercoaster for sure, fights, breakups & making @tmz_tv for all the wrong reasons The things most evident are: 1) the love and support from Black Expats & Locals from PDC To Tulum 2) the need for the space we have created, itโ€™s truly a black diasporic experience, through sight and sound 3) the ways we changed promo in Tulum. In the past I would say they are copying, but we just elevated the game and they had to meet us there 4) We got one yโ€™all! Hope to see my family from the states in the coming months, canโ€™t wait to show you โ€œHow To Tulumโ€! 5) There are amazing DJs that can cater to a wide variety of sounds when given the opportunity! We are forever grateful for our โ€œHome Teamโ€ and the crazy talents that have flown in from around the world to help us celebrate! #tulum #tulummexico #buutshacenoteclub #junglejuice #disaspora #africandiaspora #blackmusic #blacktulum

The Romney's are descendants of French Antillean slaves from Colombier & French quarter in St. Martin. During slavery JOUVERT MORNING was the only time slaves could dance to African rythems how they like and want. Since emancipation in 1838 and today we continue that tradition. #saintmartin #sintmaarten #jouvert. #africandiaspora
