‘Modernism is built on African art – but that’s never really acknowledged’ … The incendiary Les Demoiselles d’Avignon by Picasso. Photograph: Jorge Zapata/EPA

in The Guardian's recent article on Cultural Appropration : “After Matisse showed Picasso African art for the first time,” he says, “it changed the history of modern art.” This is no hyperbole. It immediately led Picasso to repaint Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, the incendiary canvas he was working on in his ramshackle Montmartre studio, giving three of the five naked sex workers in it “African” masks that set them free from all previous western artistic values and rewrote the rule book about what an image can be.

Photograph: Ludovic Marin/AFP/Getty Images  in The Guardian's 13 photos that reveal what the G7 summit is really like.  Usually, G7 group photographs that involve tables are taken in stately dining halls, with gold chandeliers and snow-white tablecloths, but here we have European commission president Ursula von der Leyen, French president Emmanuel Macron, European Council president Charles Michel, [German Chancellor, Angela] Merkel and Italy’s prime minister, Mario Draghi, crammed around a picnic table.

Have you been to Omu resort?

I actually had FUN!

You have to check it out.  It's in Lagos, far beyond Ajah on the Lekki-Epe road, but only about half the distance to La Campagne Tropicana.  

When I went, I got to do all the fun things I would wish to, in one place - from kayaking and water slides, to the mini-zoo and incredible amusement-park rides.  

My favourite ride was the pirate ship (video at the top.)  

Altogether, the air is fresher there and I got to laugh like crazy.  One just needs wild fun and pure nature sometimes.  

Do you want to go?  

OMU RESORT is a good outing for groups, from family groups (children love go-karts and splashy fountains) to friend groups (nice date too) and office groups (paint-ball zone and staff/worker team-building atmosphere.)  The price packages are so reasonable, it's basically a steal.  I would go again even though I'm lazy about going anywhere looool.  

Of course you've been to Nike Arts Gallery and Lekki Conservation Center?  Well, also plan a day out at Omu resort.  Play responsibly and enjoy.

According to her website Mona Caron is a Swiss-born, San Francisco-based artist, using muralism, illustration and photography in both her art and artivism. Her focus is on community-informed and site-specific murals in public space. She has created large-scale murals in the US, Europe, South America and Asia, has delved into stop-motion animation as part of her "WEEDS" project, and co-creates visuals for street actions and outreach with social and environmental movements. Murals in public space are Mona's primary focus. Her goal is to activate public space by simultaneously creating artwork and interactive street happenings, using the painting’s narratives to spark conversations and critical awareness of the space we share. On this website, Mona's mural work is loosely grouped into the following, sometimes overlapping categories: Narrative murals Mona's first decade in muralism was defined by extremely site-specific, detailed, and community-immersive narrative murals, reflecting the past, present, and future imaginaries of their neighborhoods through a uniquely permeable participatory process, considered part of the artwork. This process has been featured in an Emmy-winning documentary film, "A Brush With the Tenderloin", and has been the underlying praxis for most of Mona's work in her home town of San Francisco. Weeds In recent years, Mona’s stop-motion animation and botanical mural series titled ”WEEDS", a metaphor about resilience and resistance, has been growing in numbers and geographic reach, as well as in the scale of the pieces. https://monacaron.com #switzerland #SanFrancisco #artist #muralist #illustration #photography #artandartivism #communitymurals #publicspaces #createArt #largescalemurals #US #Europe #SouthAmerica #Asia, #visuals #streetArt #painting #sparkconversations #ArtUnites #CreateArt #MakeArtNotWar #PeaceLoveHappiness #UnitedWorld #ArtHeals #ArtTherapy #CrossCulturalIntegration #UniversalLanguage #BeautifulWorld #PaintMakeCreate #Documentary

Photo by Stephanie Sinclair @stephsinclairpix // Josephine Kulea was 9 years old, every other week, one of her classmates would stop coming to school. One by one they were first circumcised and then married off to men more than 30 to 40 years older than them, many of whom were already married to other women. Kulea was somewhat fortunate. Though she was circumcised in preparation for marriage, she had the support of her mother, who championed her education and resisted family pressure to marry her off at a young age. Kulea has since helped create the @SamburuGirlsFoundation, which rescues girls escaping traditional practices, such as child marriage and female circumcision, also known as female genital mutilation / cutting (FGM/C). “[Our work] is very difficult, because there is no political will or support,” said Kulea, noting that even though the law supports her efforts, the very traditional community adamantly resists any change in these rituals. Earlier this year, Kenya became the 19th country to join the African Union's Campaign to End Child Marriage, which aims to speed up change across Africa by encouraging governments to develop strategies to raise awareness of child marriage and address it’s harmful repercussions. Since then, the effort has attracted a burgeoning roster of child advocates, from government officials and religious authorities to traditional leaders and former child brides—all committed to serving as champions of change in Africa. . This image is part of a 175-image exhibition titled “Too Young to Wed,” which is the inaugural exhibition at the new L’Arche du Photojournalisme, atop at the prestigious Grand Arche de la Defense in Puteaux, Paris. Many of the images were made #onassignment for @natgeo. The show, which opened June 1 and runs through Sept. 24, is complete with educational information about the dangers of #childmarriage and the efforts underway around the world to end the practice – including our work at our nonprofit organization of the same name, @TooYoungToWed. @letoitdelagrandearche #samburugirlsfoundation #girls #letgirlslearn #girlseducation #kenya #paris #africanchampionsforchange

Spent the day at the #nationalmuseumlagos , unfortunately we aren't permitted to take pics in most of the areas but It was super fun to take a step back in history. It was great to see the important role beads played in our various cultures, from currency to fashion for both men and women. The atrocities men got up too and the codes women had to adhere to in the past where sometimes hilarious and other times sickening. Appreciative of how far we've come but aware that we've got so much further to go. #myhistory

Photograph by David Chancellor @chancellordavid -- Prior to attending Imuget le nkarna (celebration of 10 years as a warrior) Samburu moran (warriors) wash by the edge of a dam before applying red ochre to their bodies. The Samburu are know as the ‘butterfly people’ by other warrior tribes, because of the bright colours they dress in and their flamboyant body adornments. They live in the northern highlands of Kenya. The Samburu have an ancient connection to elephant, they require elephant dung to marry and consider them sacred. Any Samburu that kills an elephant brings ‘alanna’ a curse upon his family. Across Africa growing populations and deepening poverty have intensified the battle between man and animals for the same land and environmental resources. Increasingly, animals are pushed into smaller pockets of wilderness, their migration routes closed off, and their water supplies damned and irrigated for crops. Illegal poaching and hunting has decimated their numbers. At the same time, rural farmers have learned to mistrust wildlife, killing those animals who have encroached further onto their land. If wildlife conservation is to succeed, it is imperative to find a way for man and animal to coexist in suitable harmony --From work and projects documenting community conservation #withbutterfliesandwarriors --To see more of my work and projects follow me @chancellordavid and here @natgeo #withbutterfliesandwarriors #communityconservation #nopoaching #forrangers #kenya #samburu #rhino #elephant @francescamaffeogallery @hellokiosk @kinetic_six

Photo by @paleyphoto (Matthieu Paley). How is life in a remote village in Pakistan’s Karakoram mountains, near the border with Afghanistan? Last summer, I spent a couple of weeks there with my family; you can read my story titled “Home on the Range" in the latest National Geographic magazine. Here, a bride awaits the arrival of her husband. For years, marriages in this region had been arranged by the bride’s and groom’s parents. Today, many couples meet on social media sites or while at university and refer with pride to their bonds as “arranged love marriages”.
