There is a brand new art exhibit now at the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute in New York City running from June 14 - August 10. Nice to see so much attention finally being given to this musical legend!
This exhibition seeks to pay tribute to one of the African Diaspora’s most influential living ancestors as well as critique the complexity of his persona. Life After Death: A Multi-Media Analysis of the Persona that Was/Is Fela Anikulapo Kuti is a visual homage to a musical genius and perhaps one of contemporary history’s most powerful protest artists.
Curated by: Shantrelle P. Lewis
Also including never before seen photography of Fela in '77 during FESTAC and at the Shrine with individuals such as Haki Madhubiti shot by Marilyn Nance.
