So the tour has come to an end and I couldn't help but share what this experience taught me.
1. You need a team
The visual arts industry is the hardest industry in the Art world to make it out of, things don't work out so easily for us hence you need a team with the same determination and drive. I'm so blessed to have found mine.
2. Being nonchalant does not take you anywhere.
In my line of work I've discovered that zero communication is equal to zero network, zero exposure. Ufwile waba pa ground.
3. Africa is very big and diverse.
Those maps they show you in school? Fake, lies! This tour really showed me how beautiful and diverse our huge continent is and what's shocking is that despite the uniqueness and scale, we are still one race (well, except maybe those wanna be Europeans💀). A boaderless Africa is a necessity at this point.
3. The power of the internet.
The internet tho toxic is a very powerful tool for creators, through it I got to interact with different artists across Africa who were pushing for the same goal as I was and it made me really proud to see them deliver. I see you
4. Pushing boundaries.
As a creative pesen I have learnt that stepping out of the norm can be very challenging but very rewarding to the soul. I've always done bleach art but with this one I was very adamant on creating something great to represent my country globally; from packaging to final product. And trust me, I'll be back in Avengers Doomsday.
5. Not everyone is cheering for you.
Despite the praise not everyone is on your side. You can be surprised at the lengths the so-called "gate keepers" went to prevent us from meeting the guy and yet still after beating all the odds, some people still went on to focus on the negative side of the story for the sake of numbers. It's all love tho.
All in all this was a revolutionary era not just for the continent but for me as an individual. Thank you for the support bane.🇿🇲
