Propaganda

I don’t know about y’all but I seldom see or come across images that express africaness (if there is such a word) or images of African art or illustrative designs and such on the web and in general. The explosion in web access and usage still hasn’t aided in the propagation of such images. The African art form still remains by far inferior to other kinds. This I think is due to little or no publicity and the lack of a driven/targeted effort on the part of African artists or maybe bias. Through no fault of theirs as I can imagine, African artists still struggle with getting a strong web presence, plus it takes some time to really come to terms with the ever changing technology and platforms. I for one can attest to the ingenuity and quality of the African art form which to a large extent supersedes the recognition it is currently being accorded. This to an extent leads me to believe that a massive gap still needs being filled in terms of web propagation with the aim of educating the world on African cultures and values. With the price tags on modern art forms reaching record height’s who says African art pieces cant make it on a regular basis to the likes of Christies? I strongly believe more has to be done on the part of the artists and the like in getting their art form seen or heard. It’s got to be out there, like they say you’ve got to be in it to win it. I’m afraid if you don’t do it nobody’s gonna do it for you. Now let’s go out and propagate the earth, tell our side of the story. That’s what iBuntu stands for.
