  1. ⚡️ Okay, UTC Time Zone-and-adjacent dwellers! ⚡️

    📺 I have talked myself into hosting a festive Watch Party here on Mastodon, of some kind, and at some time, between now and the 25 December (or thereabouts).

    So - from Reykjavik to Accra, from Limerick to Lublin, from Madeira to Milan, and beyond - WATCH THIS SPACE!

    (Sweet jebus, what have I done..?)

  5. Good News!

    The title of photographer Kyle Weeks’ latest project Good News goes back to the “constant stream of negative stories” he observed about his home country of Namibia, and Africa at large … “Why is there never good news?”

    He found his inspiration in Ghana where he spent 6 years photographing the vibrant youth culture:

    “The youth have such an authentic approach to creativity. They have a completely different frame of reference. It’s so authentic and unlike what I see in the Western world”

    Weeks is currently based in Amsterdam

  9. Let the Black Star Shine

    UK Creative director TJ Sawyerr travelled to his father’s homeland in Accra Ghana to create this ad campaign for converse. Working with an all Ghanian team including photographer Jude Lartey these images are spectacular!

    Sawyerr’s connection to his ancestral home comes with a message. In his own words:

    “I have and will never stop telling the stories of my people and using my work to challenge the misinformation and prejudice that surrounds them. This project is a huge part of that, shedding light upon the raw beauty of our culture and homeland, as a direct challenge to the ignorantly misleading and negative media that so often surrounds it.“
