This piece depicts a moment of deep contemplations in time. A state of deep thoughts and absent mindedness. It is a visual expression of a part of the things I see in my society, represented in a stylized form.
It captures an unknown moment, a time when the mind is bothered or a time when the mind starts thinking of a solution to hard life and manual labour
A moment of reflection, where the question – what next? comes up.
This piece is from my ongoing body of work titled hustle, and it sheds light on hard labour which is a means of livelihood to lots of people. In my city, young boys run after buses with their wheelbarrow just to help passengers carry loads and they survive on that everyday till they find something better. If they ever find something better. This work is meant to connect my audience to the everyday life they see but ignore. It is also meant to create an awareness that a life like this exists.

Men's Fashion, Shoes, Sneakers, Women Shoes, women sneakersKEEXS Lite – Afronauts (Mars) Limited Edition
Seller: KeexsIn 1964, living the dream of their freshly gained independence, Zambia started a space program that would put the first African on the moon, catching up with the USA and the Soviet Union in the space race. Only a few optimists supported the project by Edward Makuka Nkoloso. Financial aid never came and a 16 year old astronaut, Martha got pregnant. That is how the heroic initiative turned into an exotic episode of the African history. Our photographic adaption is from the works of Cristina de Middel, a Spanish documentary photographer and artist.

Arrest the Music: Fela and His Rebel Acts and Politics
Seller: GrammyBooksA lively study of the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and a persuasive interpretation of the social context, instrumentation, lyrics, visual art, and people through which he produced his music. Arrest the Music! is a lively musical study of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, one of Africa’s most recognizable, popular, and controversial musicians. The flamboyant originator of the “Afrobeat” sound and self-proclaimed voice of the voiceless, Fela used music, sharp-tongued lyrics, and derisive humor to challenge the shortcomings of Nigerian and postcolonial African states. Looking at the social context, instrumentation, lyrics, visual art, people, and organizations through which Fela produced his music, Tejumola Olaniyan offers a wider, more suggestive perspective on Fela and his impact on listeners in all parts of the world.

Games
You Know You Are African When…(Game)
Seller: Kulture GamesThe game of African stereotypes and reactions.
How many times have you been asked if you speak African? How many times have you rolled your eyes when the insect in the “feed children in Africa” commercial appears? Or when a friend who has never left the continent has a British accent?
What is the first thing that you think of when you hear these words: African parents, African nurses, a black cat, Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Egypt? We all use stereotypes, even without knowing it. This is a really fun game on the stories and experiences of Africans on the continent and in the diaspora.
In the box: 50 Question cards, 270 Answer cards and a game guide.
It’s a pretty straightforward game. Each round, a rotating dictator (decision maker) reads a Question card and citizens (players) answer with the best fitting or funniest Answer card in
their hand. The dictator reads the Answer cards aloud and decides who wins each round. A new round starts, and a new dictator takes over.**A literacy book will be gifted to a child in an underserved African community when you buy a game. #LaughingForLiteracy Ages 16 and up.
4 or more players.

Books, Books & Games, Politics & DevelopmentRussian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump [Paperback] Michael Isikoff, David Corn
Seller: GrammyBooksRUSSIAN ROULETTE is a story of political skullduggery unprecedented in American history. It weaves together tales of international intrigue, cyber espionage, and superpower rivalry. After U.S.-Russia relations soured, as Vladimir Putin moved to reassert Russian strength on the global stage, Moscow trained its best hackers and trolls on U.S. political targets and exploited WikiLeaks to disseminate information that could affect the 2016 election.The Russians were wildly successful and the great break-in of 2016 was no “third-rate burglary.” It was far more sophisticated and sinister — a brazen act of political espionage designed to interfere with American democracy. At the end of the day, Trump, the candidate who pursued business deals in Russia, won. And millions of Americans were left wondering, what the hell happened? This story of high-tech spying and multiple political feuds is told against the backdrop of Trump’s strange relationship with Putin and the curious ties between members of his inner circle — including Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn — and Russia.RUSSIAN ROULETTE chronicles and explores this bizarre scandal, explains the stakes, and answers one of the biggest questions in American politics: How and why did a foreign government infiltrate the country’s political process and gain influence in Washington?
