Wunderschöne Webseite. Die Inhalte als auch die Informationen und die gezeigten Bilder sind phantastisch. Ich habe diese Seite gefunden als ich auf der Suche nach Frühwerken des Künstlers Ba Omar war. Zufällig habe ich ein Bild von Ba Omar aus dem Jahr 1996 gesehen und zwischenzeitlich auch in meinem Besitz. Ich hoffe, daß das auch tatsächlich von "Ba Omar" angefertigt worden ist. Ich bin auch ein Fan Ihrer Seite auf Instagram. Beste Grüße Günter

I randomly came across your blog when searching about orgs supporting education in Africa…and I knew you and your family years ago when I worked at Brearley! Not sure if you are still active in Africa, but I work at ACLS which created the African Humanities program there…now it’s own entity of African scholars in the humanities…funded by Carnegie. Hoping you still blog about advances in education there. And hoping Claire and Chloe are doing well.

All my best-Mary

The rainbow serpent speaks to the sacred spiritual science of Afrika, India, and Australia. Home of the original Black melanin people created by the most supreme. The initiated know this knowledge today.

Dear Isabel: As always when I read your commentary, I learn so much and see so much more in the art. Thanks once again for taking the time to describe the work, its meaning and sometimes what it means to you. I also agree with so many of the artists you selected as ones to watch over time.
I really enjoy your perceptive blog!!
