The African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists, AfriCOBRA, is a Chicago based artists’ collective formed in 1968 with an urgent sense of purpose to develop a new aesthetic and create art with a direct impact on liberation causes. As outlined in co-founder Jeff Donaldson’s manifesto, their images would embody “the expressive awesomeness that one experiences in African art and life in the U.S.A.”Posted by Rachel LewisInstallation views of Wadsworth A.
