“It does not have to be dark to be horrific. The most lethal darkness travels technicolour, bathed in the dubious sheen of approval and acceptance.” - #trailerjam

"For me, success is not a public thing. It's a private thing. It's when you have fewer and fewer regrets" Happy Birthday to the Legend that is Toni Morrison

If you are lucky to live long enough, or wise enough; you’ll be alive with people for whom the context of history is genuinely or knowingly lost, non- conveyable or non relatable. It’s a terribly earned grace; this liberating realisation, that you are now free to care only about the things for which you’d be happy to die or die happy upon. - #trailerjam

Why read the narrative when you can read the picture.

These are best seen in person so details come to focus. I would love to see interpretations in textiles and fashion. Nengi’s is already textile and quite fabulous.

Roots in the sky at HOME Manchester. Quite cool. I like.

@omojumiller Yes!

@Funmilola Sis!!! This is breath taking. Read your tweet, then clicked to see the image, I audibly gasped at the beauty. 10s all across the board.

I find gothic Nigeriana by old masters sublime and terribly honest because l think it’s where they are most proficiently self expressed within the constrains of necessary patronage and funding from sources that prioritise the political over the personal. #nigerianmodernism #tatemodern

I will always love Abayomi Barber’s fabulous ability to convey the subtlest softest emotions on subjects from whom the boring and hardening duality of tiresome hardships or bombastic triumphs is the expected norm. He let’s be and let’s breathe. A refreshment. He was great in person too. Gentle, wry, kind to me when l was strapping and he was giant.

my favourite part of Frankenstein was the creature’s curiosity about the world & his instinct to form bonds with the people around him. he perceived the world without the filter of human judgment. he was gentle, and any violence he committed was a reflection of humanity’s cruelty

Revolutionaries relentlessly pursued for decades by an army captain. One Battle After Another is politically sharp in its depiction of our society. It’s nightmarish, shocking, obscene, hilarious, and thought-provoking. The frantic score further amplifies the chaos.

There’s no doubt he studied performing Art.
