BANTU WAX || Short Film

Serene and chaotic; untouched and urban; rich, poor, old, new, sacred, sexy, wise, fast and funny — Africa: the continent some thought to be static was just unshakable.

Since its birth, Bantu has been made In Africa, by Africans, sustainably & fairly, and that will never change. What has changed is Africa...

With over 1 billion people, more than half under 20 years of age —Africa today is quite literally the future of the world — and the future of the world is made in Africa.

Inspired by Africa’s transition from Dark Continent to Bearer of Light, tales of the mermaid goddess of oceans Mami Wata, and a passion for surfing, Bantu merges the rich history of African art and textiles with Africa's deeply rooted surf culture.

Bantu is real beach-wear from the real Africa.

The Kiss by Gustav Klimt || Great Art Explained

By the end of the 19th century, Vienna, an uptight, stuffy and conservative city, was changing.

A group of artists, architects, musicians and social scientists, were experimenting in ways that would transform their individual fields. On the one hand, Vienna was the traditional city of academic art, Johann Strauss, and the Hapsburg empire, but on the other, it was the home of radical artists such as Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele who were shocking audiences with explorations of sexual themes. Architects Otto Wagner and Adolf Loos were challenging imperial design, while Gustav Mahler was transforming the musical life of the city. And Sigmund Freud was about to change forever the way we think about the human mind. Vienna was experiencing a new golden age.

It was a city at the forefront of modernity, and it would shape the 20th century.

The Case for Abstraction || The Art Assignment || PBS Digital Studios

For much of human history, people made art by trying to represent the world as it appeared around them.

Until about 100 years ago, when a bunch of artists stopped trying to do that.

It was shocking then and it still upsets and confounds today.

How are we supposed to deal with art completely removed from recognizable objects?

And why should we?

This is the case for Abstraction.
