Ghanaian artist Ibrahim Mahama known for his large-scale textile and found-object installations has been awarded the inaugural Sam Gilliam Award, a new honor presented by the Dia Art Foundation and the Sam Gilliam Foundation. The award, which includes a $75,000 gift and a public program at a Dia location in fall 2024, was established in 2023 to support artists who have made a significant contribution in any medium.

“I was first introduced to Gilliam’s important work as a student by my mentor Kąrî'kạchä Seid'ou, and it has been greatly influential to me ever since,” said Mahama in a statement. “The most important aspect of any community is to share their many gifts, even if they are born out of precarity, for within that point do we expand freedom to all life forms.”

Queen Bey has entered the country music genre but make no mistake, this is no random sliding into the charts.

With less than 10 days left until the release of her eighth studio album Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé is reflecting on making the upcoming album — as she explained to fans the inspiration behind it and how exactly the piece of art came to life.

In an instagram post yesterday, the singer-songwriter shared a new photo of herself wearing a red, white and blue outfit sitting on a horse while holding up an American flag.

Beyoncé wrote in her long caption that she'd been working on Cowboy Carter for five years, a project that was "born out of an experience" that she had years ago where she "did not feel welcomed."

"... and it was very clear that I wasn't," she added.

"We don't dare to appreciate her
We don't care to her feeling, nor her dreams,
Nor her dreams.
She swallows her pride...to serve us might"

Though women do everything in their power to serve everyone around them, they get no appreciation or respect in return. Still, she keeps her pride and does as she is told.
However, this does not diminish the fire within her.

To honour and celebrate women this month, we highlight the women from the , founded by Officialstarter_ to bring happiness and joy to the women in our markets.

The beloved TV personality’s representatives confirmed her diagnosis in a statement shared with multiple outlets on Thursday. The statement details concerns over the 59-year-old star’s difficulty to process information, noting that she “began to lose words, act erratically at times, and have difficulty understanding financial transactions.”

The statement continued: “The decision to share this news was difficult and made after careful consideration, not only to advocate for understanding and compassion for Wendy, but to raise awareness about aphasia and frontotemporal dementia and support the thousands of others facing similar circumstances,” the release said.
