THE FASHIONABLE ONE

The “hi-top” was a trend symbolizing the golden era of Hip hop and urban contemporary music between the 1980s and the early 1990s. It was common among young black people between 1986 and 1993, extending its influence to the mid 1990s.

With a mixture of modern outfits and “old school” hairstyles we bring to you an updated look into traditional African (inspired) hairstyles that resonate with the modern age. I introduce to you our first character

THE GOLDEN SKIN

What is it with Race? Why is it that we are so defined by skin color? Why is one race superior than the other? Is it so hard to value different races than what we are? What if all skins were gold would we value each other more or is there something deeper than just skin color?

YIN YANG

When people see things as beautiful,
ugliness is created.
When people see things as good,
evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.
