Thanks, Laura! I’ve talked with people offline and in other spaces, and someone linked this article from NPR: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2023/11/18/1212950660/africas-flourishing-art-scene-is-a-smash-hit-at-art-x Our takeaway: white people’s attention is fleeting, but their money still drives the market. In any case, I’m so glad you introduced me to the Rabbit and Anansi stories – they opened my world to completely new ways of thinking about folklore and enjoying literature!

And art from people who have had to leave their homes behind would be powerful for sure…… I know this is true for Diaspora storytelling! Anansi and Rabbit live on in new homes, making new stories. 🙂
