We keep getting these beautifully designed flyers from a mysterious source…. We just love their aesthetics and are dying to know what it’s all about. Our guess is that it’s a new venue that will be opening soon… the musical hints make us think of that…. Does anyone have any idea of what these graphics are about? Can the real Blakbox Imprint please stand up and take the props for your beautiful work?
This time round they give us a few more clues with the following copy:
“We are lost in music” “Mind your Head” (so there’s music and you have to walk through a door)
Nina Simone Sings
Young Gifted and Black
Eskia Mpahlele
Remebers Senghor in a poem
George o talabi
exhibits the image of an Afrikan
“it’s that type of joint”
Any clues? Must be a venue. Time will tell.
