A GHANAIAN IMAGE FROM SUNGLASSES OF AN ANTILLEAN FEMALE ARTIST

LAST DECEMBER 2011 I MADE A BIG DECISION AND TOOK THE URGE TO GO AND VISIT GHANA-ACCRA. THIS 'ARTS AND CULTURAL' ORIENTATION TRIP UNTIL MID-JANUARY 2012, WAS POSSIBLE THROUGH DONATIONS AND SELLING MY CARDS AND PAINTINGS. THIS PROJECT CONSISTED OF A VISIT TO 'OTIAKROM', ONE OF TRIBES-VILLAGES WHICH IS IN A PROCEEDING DEVELOPMENT AND MUNICIPAL SURROUNDINGS IN- AND OUTSIDE ACCRA'S COMMUNITIES. MY STROLLING UP AND DOWN ALLEYS -VALLEYS, MARKETPLACES, ART CENTERS, DISCUSSING WITH SOUL-MATES, INDULGING AND BEARING THE RED EARTH, BEING AMAZED BY THE WALKING ART OF BATIK, URGED ME TO PUT MY ASTOUNDING, HEARTFELT AND TRANSFORMED APPROACH INTO WRITING A SHORT ESSAY ON THIS SUBJECT ( INCL.COLORED PICTURES). MORE THAN EVER DO I FEEL PART OF THE ESSENCE OF BEING BLACK INSIDE A COMMUNITY LIKEWISE BUT SMALLER. BEING CONCERNED ABOUT OUR OWN STRONG EMANCIPATION PROCESS INSIDE OUR LOWER ANTILLES TO ALMOST BEING BARRICADED BY GREED, I REGRET THAT WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE 80-20% LIABILITY FOR LEGITIMATE LABORS-RIGHTS, ONLY BECAUSE OF STUBBORNNESS INSIDE POLITICAL SYSTEM, ENDORSING ITSELF TO COLONIALISM. NONETHELESS LIFE GOES ON AND SINCE WE'RE ON THE SUBJECT, ABLE TO KNOW AND DISCUSS ALL THE WAY WE CAN AND HANDLE GLOBALLY, JOINED CAN WE SUCCEED.

Hi Karen Denise, I'm turning 59 and had tremendous experience making acquaintance with still courageousness, maintaining lives-pressures of econ. burden intact. A highly black industrious maintainability within these, 24 million black communities, full of charm and capacities (bearing the gold, diamonds and oil a little bit off-centered) socio-political avenues with bold discussions and every days hot topics on Ghana soups and film industry, fashion and youth campaigns. Accra (capital) is best, you could be uncomfortable with constant red dust within most communities, drainage and noise from Sundays drilling church-choirs(haha). I had a good guide taking me every where I needed. Taking the BUS! is very adventurous. All best and thanks for interest. I might do it again-this time on a Residency Project.
