April is here with all of her radiant beauty and perfect weather. We are planning for our music festival season and our first exhibit is the suits of Big Chief Shaka Zulu of the Golden Feather Hunter Tribe. This is such a gift to see these stunning sculptural masterpieces up close and in a gallery setting. His is a very unique culture.
Chief Zulu says, “Not all of us got here from the slave trade. Many of us have a history of being part of this culture for many years before that . . . So this culture (Black Masking Indians) is mainly about paying homage to indigenous people."
We hope to see one of these masterpieces placed in a museum setting, as that is where they belong. Should you be connected in that way, please share this information to help get them
in the broader public eye.
We recognise and celebrate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on her historic confirmation to serve as the first Black Woman on the Supreme Court. No matter where you sit on the political aisle, fairness and equity to all is a cornerstone of our nation
and I'm proud to see it manifesting.
The unprovoked war on Ukraine and the actions there are abhorrent and unconscionable.
Our hearts go out to the people of Ukraine.
Peace Now
-A. King
