Pioneers of the Past

For this project, A Vibe Called Tech explored the changing nature of the Black image past and present, inspired by the first The North Face x Gucci Collection.

For this project, we commissioned Stance Podcast and Jazz Grant to capture a series of conversations and self-portraits of young, international artists and curators whose work celebrates the Black Image and its representation in art and society.

Starring Alayo Akinkugbe, the founder of @ablackhistoryofart, Verona-born Italian Ghanaian visual researcher Theophilus Imani (@theoimani), Renata Cherlise of @blackarchives.org, and the British-Ghanaian curator, critic, and art historian Osei Bonsu.
