The group’s aim was to “decolonize the visual arts as taught by expatriate Europeans”.</p> <p>Onobrakpeya has been awarded Human Living Treasure Award by UNESCO and the 2010 National Creativity award by Federal Government of Nigeria. He currently lives in Nigeria.</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Onobrakpeya">Read more</a>.</p> </blockquote>http://oyinldn.tumblr.com/post/43990472557http://oyinldn.tumblr.com/post/43990472557Mon, 25 Feb 2013 12:10:29 -0500<a href="http://www.ynaija.com/chimamanda-ngozi-adichie-we-remember-differently-a-tribute-to-chinua-achebe-at-82/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter">Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: We remember differently – A tribute to Chinua Achebe at 82</a>http://oyinldn.tumblr.com/post/37110467433http://oyinldn.tumblr.com/post/37110467433Mon, 03 Dec 2012 08:37:45 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me2pfnhoIr1r961bco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fuckyeahdarkgirls.com/post/36562591396/photographer-c-mambu-bayoh-fuckyeahdarkgirls">fuckyeahdarkgirls</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>Photographer: ©</span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Mambu-Bayoh/128189733877611?fref=ts">MAMBU BAYOH </a></p> <p><a href="http://fuckyeahdarkgirls.tumblr.com/">fuckyeahdarkgirls!</a></p> </blockquote>http://oyinldn.tumblr.com/post/36612163602http://oyinldn.tumblr.com/post/36612163602Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:17:17 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me1wg1A0yc1rihepno1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://oyinldn.tumblr.com/post/36605593149http://oyinldn.tumblr.com/post/36605593149Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:39:15 -0500<p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://possibleimpossible.tumblr.com/post/23810177167/idontspeakafrican">possibleimpossible</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>I don’t speak African.<br/> I speak Yoruba. <br/> I don’t speak African. <br/> I speak Igbo. <br/> I don’t speak African. <br/> I speak Hausa. <br/> I don’t speak African.<br/> I speak a language, and African is not a language.</p> </blockquote>http://oyinldn.tumblr.com/post/35798200678http://oyinldn.tumblr.com/post/35798200678Thu, 15 Nov 2012 17:26:49 -0500<a href="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2009/12/hadza/finkel-text">The Hadza -
