Membrane, the gurus of collective innovation, have been putting together an amazing digital art platform for Pan-African art, though the Africa Center.
The platform will allow collaboration, exploration, inspiration and a dramatic shift in the African art economy.
The amazing Andrew Putter presents a new series of prints titled African Hospitality. Hundreds of years ago, a number of English travellers were shipwrecked on the remote Pondoland coast of southern Africa. Some of these Europeans were taken in by local tribes and found a new life and culture in Africa, [...]
A bashi-bazouk or bashibazouk (Turkish başıbozuk, literally “damaged head”, meaning “free headed”, “leaderless”, “disorderly”) was an irregular soldier of the Ottoman army. They were noted for their lack of discipline.

Why are so many wine labels so unforgivably boring?
Wine is not a boring product, and people love a little fun, novelty, art, conversation and joy.

Saw some beautiful pictures of Cairo by David Southwood, and was reminded of the incredible year I spent there, living on an island in the Nile.
