Doo you agree with the famous Biko? Are blacks still suffering from inferiority complex?

A Discourse Begins. Welcome to the ARC Discourse.

Keep spreading the news...

Appreciation and acknowledge isn't the reason we do what we do, but it serves as a great remind that someone is always watching 👀

THE ARC’S ARRIVAL WAS LONG OVERDUE Edward Cameron Peverett and his team have created a needed platform for Komani’s creatives that has been long time needed. WHAT THE ARC STANDS FOR. The African Renaissance Community (ARC) was…

And then today, Sunday 23 July arrived. And we presented the Inaugural ARC Jam Session.

Many more shall come, every Sunday until everything that was looted is restored. And expand beyond the wildest dreams of the people of our humble small town.

Asijiki.

African Civilisation is being restored.

It is our pleasure to present to you:
🥁 🥁 🥁🥁 🥁 🥁🥁 🥁 🥁🥁 🥁 🥁
The African Renaissance Community!

1. The Logo:
First designed & tattooed on the Founder's forearm, the logo predates the European Civilisation that whitewashed African heritage.

The ouroboros, a snake swallowing its own tale, represents a truth about our journey from ancestor, to human, to ancestor again. It means we consume ourselves in one form to give life to the next. , , , , .

The sacred geometric pattern that populates the ouroboros is the flower of life. It represents the interconnectedness of all life. Animate and inanimate beings. Past to present to future. Ancestor to Human to Ancestor. Time and space and eternity.

2. The context of the images that follow, and indeed the creation of the ARC, can be summed up in the following exert from the speech by President Thabo Mbeki at the inauguration of the African Renaissance Institute in Pretoria, 1999:

"...I am convinced that all of us present here share a common vision in favour of African unity and solidarity, African development and renewal and an end to the marginalisation of our Continent in world affairs and development processes.

*It would seem to us vitally necessary that whereas, for some time, the achievement of these objectives has been left to our governments, it is necessary that we return this vision to the people.

We are therefore of the firm view that there is a critically important and urgent need to develop a Popular Movement for the African Renaissance.*

Accordingly, we believe that political organisations and governments in all African countries should be mobilised to act in furtherance of the objectives of the African Renaissance.

Equally, the masses and their organisations in all African countries should similarly be mobilised and drawn into action.

We must also pay attention to the intelligentsia, the professionals, the trade unions, business people, women and the youth, the traditional leaders, cultural workers, the media and so on, to bring them into the popular struggle for Africa's rebirth..."
