"Eight globes measure 5.5 feet tall and 4.6 feet in diameter. Each globe has been individually curated by a different artist and embodies The World Reimagined themes of: Mother Africa; The Reality of Being Enslaved; Stolen Legacy: The Rebirth of a Nation; Abolition & Emancipation; A Complex Triangle; Echoes in the Present; Still We Rise; Expanding Soul; Reimagine the Future; and Community. The World Reimagined is built on the belief in the transformative power of art: to inspire, to move, and to open our imagination to new possibilities. Project Aikido was created to showcase all aspects of African culture, creativity, and technical skills of the underrepresented, both on the continent and in the Diaspora." Artist Credit: Project Aikido. The upper image is an iPhone panorama taken from the middle of the circle of globes; the lower image is an ultra-wide-angle view of all 8 spheres.
