The Last Afrosocial
By Aisle3Films
It was the last picture show. Pangea’s Afrosocial started as one of ArtMonday events at Apache Cafe and Lounge in Atlanta. Originally themed as a figure drawing session in a lounge setting, Pangea pushed the envelope to creating an interactive experience for Art Lovers as well as Artists. Tagged as that ‘Different Kind of Date Night,’ the intent was to engage all attendees in an escapade that was intimate, celebratory and memorable. We created themes that tested the boundaries of afrocentricity, art and sensuality. Some were successful than others. All were engaging and adventurous and artistic. This is a collection of moments that celebrate our last picture show at the Apache Cafe and Lounge on 3rd Street, Atlanta.
