Shabazz Palaces
Presented initially as a piece in a thirteen-part installation at Seattle’s Frye Art Museum, Ode To Octavia is in the words of the creators, “a brief peak into a sacred clandestine ceremony and celebratory act examined through video, object, and codified sound.” The series is made in tribute of celebrated science fiction writer Octavia Butler. Since we’re not sure where the rest of the installation can be viewed now that the exhibit at the Frye Museum has finished, we hope the released of Sparkles is only the first of more releases to come from The Black Constellation. Watch (Sparkles)…Recollections of the Wraith below.

Charles Ramsey, the man who helped rescue three Cleveland women presumed dead after going missing a decade ago, has become aninstant Internet meme. It
The picture above shows how the History Channel depicted Christ.
Get the fuck out!
“The historical figure known as Jesus of Nazareth was not “white. He was not European. Based on the scholarly consensus, the historical Jesus would be a Middle Eastern Jew of medium, if not dark, complexion. He was certainly dark enough to have spent time in the Middle East and elsewhere, and not to have had his skin tone commented upon or noted.”
Thank you.
“This Jesus would be hounded and harassed by the TSA, looked at as a de facto “suspicious” person in post-9/11 America, and be racially profiled by the national security state. The historical Jesus would likely be subject to stop-and-frisk policies by the New York police and others. If it were too late at night, and the historical Jesus was trying to get a cab–especially if he were not attired “professionally”–he would be left standing curbside because brown folks in their 20s and 30s who look like him are presumed to be criminals.”

‘Traditional cleansing of former child soldier’. Sierra Leone.
“Traditional healing ceremonies have been lauded as an effective and integral aspect of psychosocial healing and reintegration in Sierra Leone for girls associated with the fighting forces. Reintegration has proven extremely difficult for these girls. They were stigmatized by their families and communities who saw them as “impure” as a result of sexual abuse. They have been verbally and physically attacked, restricted from mingling with family and community and prohibited from marrying. Their spiritual pollution is believed to cause misfortune, bad harvests and health problems. While empirical evidence leads us to believe that indigenous practice plays a fundamental role in the reconciliation process, how and why this is so is poorly understood. My research examined how traditional purification rituals contribute to psychosocial healing and reintegration.
If you would like to read more on the subject, I have recently published an article here” - Lindsay Stark
Research around the impact of traditional ceremonies/ customs and traditions is so interesting.
