Lamont embraces his African heritage, until…

By chance I came across this on YouTube and it took me back. Actually, I found it on Brother Manifest’s  tumblr page. Brother Manifest is one of the organizers and promoters Happily Natural Day. He’s an artist and designer and apparently we share a similar taste in humor. I don’t want to go to deep on this, it just brought back some good memories of a time when we truly knew so little about our heritage and the curiosity it piqued. This episode is shot to the gut for all of the fake African conscious people. I was a young child when this show first ran but it and images like...

a Sunday in the Garden (1.22.12)

We did a couple of Pangea’s Meet & Greets last year and they were geared towards a few of us getting to know each other better with the hopes and intentions of creating works together. I don’t think I say it enough but Pangea’s Garden is not an online magazine whose focus is a single perspective of the Afrosensual Aesthetic. It is a network of individuals with an appreciation for afrosensual culture and beauty with our varying perspectives on how to celebrate that. When I started it, it was a blog on blogspot where I thought I would change the world with my individual perspective...

pgp285: African Healing Dance…

In Africa, dance is much more than physical movement – it is a direct way to celebrate life and create healing. African Healing Dance is a step-by-step course on the healing tradition and expressive movements that are unique to Africa’s dance heritage. From the movements of nature and everyday life, the tribal people of Africa developed specific dances to summon the energy of the world around them into their bodies for connection and healing. Through dancing, they became the bird and the wind, the fire and the serpent. Wyoma, the lead dancer and director of the Damballa dance troupe,...

Black Girls Killing It! features Folake of Stylepantry.com

BlackGirlsKillingIt (BGKI) is the brainchild of Neil Alvin. Its an extraordinary Tumblr blog featuring images of well-dressed, impeccably-styled black women. Periodically, BGKI features an interview with a sista whose personal style is unique and fabulous. In this post, BGKI interviews Folake Kuye Huntoon, editor of StylePantry.com, the “fashion and lifestyle stockiest.” How would you define your personal style? I’d say it’s Three’s company meets Woodstock meets Today’s fashion! Do you find that you follow fashion trends, or do you play by your own rules? I have always played...

Pangea’s 2011 Meet & Greets… premium inspiration

Pangea’s Meet & Greets were two gatherings last year that were geared towards a few of us getting to know each other better with the hopes and intentions of creating works together. After all, Pangea’s Garden is a network of individuals with an appreciation for afrosensual culture and beauty. And all of us, with our varying perspectives came together a couple of times to celebrate that. But how do you do that? How do you celebrate that? I am trying not to be self-indulgent here, but I am an artist, a photographer and a graphic designer. So I have various ways of expressing my ideas,...

pgp285: Henry Adebonojo and the Afrosensual Portrait

From The Trove on Henry Adebonojo: With the same great love for capturing the moment through the moving image as for distilling the essence in a single frame, cinematographer/ photographer Henry Adebonojo is “happiest when I am making pictures.”… Shooting the likes of the late Gordon Parks, (for his Emmy-nominated work on Half Past Autumn: The Life and Works of Gordon Parks) George Clooney, Chuck D, Marisa Tomei, Dave Chappelle and the POTUS, Barack Obama, he’s cut a wide swath across the mediums of music videos, commercials, promos, documentaries and short films. The one position...

Ask Arielle Loren: Short Men’s “Packages”

You asked, “I used to have feelings for a guy that was way shorter than myself. Whenever I was around him I couldn’t help wonder if his package was small because he is. It’s just awkward…Small packages ruin the mood. I care more about the snake than oral or 4play.” Ask Arielle Loren is an interactive web show for people to submit anonymous gender & sexuality questions via formspring [http://formspring.me/arielleloren] and receive an answer from Arielle Loren via YouTube [http://youtube.com/arielleloren]. No question is too outrageous, strange, or forbidden. Invite...

BleuRose…grinning from ear to ear

BleuRose kept saying how cold it was! Grinning from ear to ear, playfully strutting like a peacock, she appeared to be basking in the sun but she was not kidding. It was really cool out. Although the sun shined brightly, it was early in the day, air was dry and while the wind was comforting, the sun heat was not with us at that time. And even know she talked about it, the earthSista never complained. BleuRose’s spirits were high as always (I’ve yet to see this sista face challenge with anything less than positive attitude.) The earthSista’s lighthearted nature was infectious and...

pgp284: Makeda 2012…The Left Handed Path and The Dark Goddess

By Makeda Voletta This is a 12 month calendar featuring a collection of fine art collaborations between myself and a variety of amazing photographers. All of the images are raw. No touch ups. I seek to bring the wisdom of the Dark Moon Goddess, the Sun Goddess, Bee Priestesses, and all of the Powerful Amazons who come before me. I walk with the power of my ancestors. It’s all about being true and free. Nothing else matters at the end of the day. Featured Photographers: Jan – Ondre Hunt, Philly Feb – Ron Ceasar, Washington, DC/Baltimore March – Andy C. and Irina Sarnetskaya,...
