afropunk joburg: liberating the black body

“Our world is full of sound
 / Our world is more lovely than anyone’s
 tho we suffer, and kill each other
 and sometimes fail to walk the air / We are beautiful people with african imaginations full of masks and dances and swelling chants with african eyes, and noses, and arms,
 though we sprawl in grey chains in a place
full of winters, when what we want is sun.” — Amira Baraka
