Presentism, is the philosophical view that the present is the only 'Time' that exists, and that past and the future do not. This series seeks to call attention to the present day on The Continent, along with the mix of old & new, transitions, and warnings that come with modernity. Presentism acknowledges the past, but realizes that the present should hold the spot-light, that is to say one cannot languish in recounting the wrongs of yesterday. It is the road that leads to the future and through inspection of the present as well as the events that have led to them, is vital to moving towards a better future.

The Afro-Futurism movement, that started within the African-American community in the 1960's sought to paint a very different view of the future than what they were being told was "possible". Artists such as Sun-Ra, laid the foundation for the genre. However, in present day, it seems that the Afro-Futurism movement is quite different and gaining popularity in the Western Art World. The current movement seems to play into the dystopian future of Africa or the impossibly contradictory (e.g. nomadic villagers traveling space). While exploring a surrealist space,

such concepts have little to no connection with reality. While these may have their place, it is dangerous for such to become popular, while there is still relatively no understanding for the realities on the continent, beyond the starving children paraded by charities, remote communities and wildlife.

While there are many challenges in the 'Global South', compared to the 'North', there are many conveniences and contributions that the North will never enjoy and in away are trying to create complex systems for problems which have simple solutions. With development comes some benefits but also come restrictions (e.g. on food sale, business, and transportation). This series looks to document this pivotal time in Nigeria, while giving insight into the day-to-day experiences, celebrations, and regional distinctions among just a small part of the country: Delta, South East, and Central regions.

If something is important, we write it down. Yet 85% of the world’s writing systems are on the verge of vanishing — not granted official status, not taught in schools, discouraged and dismissed.

If something is important, we write it down. Yet 85% of the world's writing systems are on the verge of vanishing - not granted official status, not taught in schools, discouraged and dismissed.
When a culture is forced to abandon its traditional script, everything it has written for hundreds of years - sacred texts, poems, personal correspondence, legal documents, the collective experience, wisdom and identity of a people - is lost.
This Atlas is about those writing systems, and the people who are trying to save them.

African heritage is rich and deep in culture. One of the most popular parts of the African culture is the Adinkra symbols. Symbols are a visual representation of an idea, spiritual meaning, or emotions.

Although there are many stories on the origin of Adinkra symbols, their significance and meaning in the culture are not debated. The Adinkra symbols are not just decorative objects on fabric, buildings, or decor, but they convey ancient traditional wisdom about life, philosophical thoughts, and aspects of the environment. Many of the Adinkra symbols have meanings linked to proverbs and some symbols depict historical events, human behavior and attitudes, animal behavior, plant life, and objects' shapes. These Adinkra symbols were used on ceremonial clothing by royalty for important ceremonies such as funerals and special occasions but are now used more prominently on clothes, jewelry, home décor and were even featured on the costumes in Black Panther.

Adinkras are visual symbols or ideographs that represent concepts and aphorisms originating from the Akan people, the dominant ethnic group of present-day Ghana, and the Ivory Coast located in West Africa. Designs were originally made by cutting a pattern in a calabash gourd and then stamping the print on a piece of colorful fabric. They boiled the bark of the Badie tree with scraps of iron to get the deep brown ink that was originally used. If you take a closer look at the symbols, you will see that they were derived from pieces of nature, architecture, and animals. For example, the ripples in a water drop. The "Soul washers" badge is worn by the Ghana priests who conducted the kings' water rituals.
Some of the symbols have meanings linked to proverbs such as the SANKOFA symbol. SANKOFA, in the Twi language, means to "Reach back and get it" in English. To break it down:

San- to return

Ko- to go

Fa- to look/seek/take

Sankofa Symbol. A bird taking an egg off of its back. The Sankofa symbol is also depicted by the shape of a heart.
The Sankofa symbol is often associated with the proverb, "Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi," which translates "It is not taboo to return to take back what you forgot" The Sankofa symbol represents the wisdom of learning from the past, to help improve the future. It also encourages people to celebrate and honor their culture and history.

Adinkra symbols tell a story about the culture and its people. Wearing Adinkra symbols is an expression of who you are, your intentions and the messages you want to convey. Although Adinkra symbols are centuries old, they still have meaning and significance today to Africans and the African diaspora.

I find the word quite weirdly defining a huge variety of people that could be completely apart from each other. Its also a term I currently to easily stereotypically use to group "the other people of society" and I really don't think its a correct way of approaching it. They are seen as the 'first nations', the 'first people'?
