The Poetry of Mr Black : Karebeckistan
I’m the plant from the seed you sowed
you tried to uproot me
you tried to stop my growth
I’m the weed you wanted to get rid of
Now I’m your smoke
Your shameless schemes reveal your true loop.
From the tablet of Plato I am schooled
“The Power of Platonic Love”
That’s my book,
Read it, it might be good for you
Don’t confuse my anger, it’s not…

This time of year isn't bright and merry for everyone during this holiday season. They may be someone in your circle suffering a loss or setback or crisis. If you need prayer, drop your @, and let's build a community of prayer warriors to uplift and encourage one another in Christ Jesus' Anointing power. 🙏🏾🙌🏾
In the Black Fantastic ‘Afrofuturism’ is a sub-genre that takes aim at the heart of racial injustice. This exhibition celebrates the Black artists who wield that utopian weapon. ‘In the Black Fantastic’ at ‘Hayward Gallery’ uses sci-fi to imagine a future beyond inequality, beyond racism, in a powerful and affecting fashion. ‘In the Black Fantastic’ starts with Nick Cave (not that one) and his wearable sculptures, first created in response to the brutal police murder of Rodney King in LA in 1991. They’re fantastical, glittery, hyper-colour costumes that allow the wearer to transform themselves, to sculpt and define their identity, obscuring their race and gender. They’re defiant, empowering and brazen. Wangechi Mutu also makes art to destroy hierarchies, with watery collages of hybrid beings that exist behind tropes and stereotypes. Then there’s Hew Locke’s Black warriors on horseback, elaborate militaristic figures that look like statues of future generals, and Tabita Rezaire’s psychedelic mirrored room with its pyramid glistening in the centre. Downstairs is young American artist Sedrick Chisom’s incredible visions of a post-apocalyptic future earth where all people of colour have left and the skin of those who remain has started to darken. They’re funny, threatening, imposing paintings, humming with satirical tension. Upstairs are Chris Ofili’s enormous mythology-inspired paintings of the Odyssey transplanted to Trinidad and Ellen Gallagher’s subaquatic visions of Drexciya, the Black Atlantis. ‘In the Black Fantastic’, ‘Hayward Gallery’ until September 18, 2022. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #love #afrofuturism #nickcave #soundsuits #chainreaction #sedrickchisom #ellengallagher #wangechimutu #tabitarezaire #chrisofili #karawalker #blackexperience #blackhistory #vision #poetry #haywardgallery #intheblackfantasic (at Hayward Gallery at Southbank Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfn9ImHIwgy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

That was 3 years before the Artist's passing . . . How much, if anything, did the Artist get from this transaction?
