BLACK DISCOURSE is a multidisciplinary studio and oral tradition incubator, curating from the global black experience.
We connect black conversation to the world, through experiential design and media production.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

What: What Makes Us
Where: First Floor Gallery, Online
When: 31 October - Ongoing
Via First Floor Gallery:
Entering his second decade as a professional artist, Mundopa is one of Zimbabwe’s most recognised and successful painters. Firmly rooted in and committed to being a present witness and advocate of the country’s turbulent contemporary life.
This long look at the path travelled over the past decade not only projects the robustness of Mundopa’s strength as an artist and the depth of his foundations for an expansive flourishing practice going forward. It is also a counterpoint to the limitations of art market narratives around contemporary African art.

This is because, despite decades in the making the international art world, contemporary art from the continent is still defined by the discourse of discovery and arrival. This paradigm focused on newness creates a perception frozen in time. Where artists’ practices exist in that singular moment of the encounter with non-African audience. This is a PR driven ahistorical model, which short-changes audiences as much as it precludes the artist from the possibility of growth and development.
This is particularly and spectacularly significant for young, emerging, who have been the focus of market attention and knowingly or unwittingly, willingly or unwilling have been trapped in a cage of success. While this is also true for non-African emerging artists, the situation for African emerging artists is underscored by historical power inequalities and disempowerment of emerging from underdeveloped art sector infrastructure.
In this context, “What Makes Us” is more than a personal exhibition concept. It stands as a statement of intent by Mundopa to engage with global art history as a peer. It is also an invitation for other African artists to assert themselves in the same way.

Sacrosanct, created by oral tradition studio BLACK DISCOURSE, is a three-channel pop-up film installation sanctifying the brilliance of Black heresy in the act of moving under the continued pressures of colonial imperialist violence.
