“He was cool
Super-cool
Ultrablack
A tan/purple
Had a beautiful shade
He had a double natural
that would put the sisters to shame
His dashikis were tailor made & his beads were imported sea shells
He was triple-hip
His tikis were hand-carved
Out of ivory
And came express from the motherland
He would greet you in Swahili and say goodbye in Yoruba
Mannnn he was so cool & intelligent
Cool-Cool, ultra cool, icebox cool, so cool his wine didn’t have to be cooled
He was air condition cool
Cool-Cool was so cool he made me cool
Cool-Cool so cool we nicknamed him refrigerator
Cool-Cool so cool he didn’t know
After Detroit, Newark, Oakland, and Chicago
We had to remind Cool-cool
that
to be black
is to be
very hot”
-Don L. Lee, 1969

It is said that “ to envision the future 100 years forward, we must examine the history 500 years back”. The NASSI pop up takes you through snippets of the history of African peoples, starting from pre colonisation. Here is a taste of the opening experience. The conversations that were occurred among the community after going through this five room installation was moving and a part of our healing process to live into a new future. Open Wednesday - Sunday 10-6pm. At 546, 9th St Old Oakland, California. Please go check it out if you’re in the area and see some of my motion art on display alongside other artists.
