About the Project: Our desire is to tap into the notion Black History doesn’t begin with Slavery (1619), but it does start in Africa. Temi Coker’s visual aesthetic lends itself to an Afro-futuristic vision of blackness. This collab presents an opportunity to explore the intersection of black history and a black future.
Temi summarizes his work by stating, “Black is a beautiful canvas”. Creating his unique style of art and the accompanying posters have been therapeutic and revelatory to the end showing the ways color and black imagery can be used to inspire. Through the concept of “Sankofa”, looking back to look forward, He’s found a lens to create timeless art.

About the Producer: Raro Nansebo is a kebele (small community) in the Uraga district of Guji. This selection comes from farmers that harvested and turned in their coffee cherries to a natural processing site run by Ture Waji and Eegata Alaka.
