AfricaOnChain Lecture Schedule

On the beautiful coast of Cape Verde, with Afrobeats in the air and a sunset that paints the sky in impossible hues, I met Fingacode, whose stature is only dwarfed by the depth of his creativity. In our conversation, he shared his journey—a blend of coding, Afrofuturism, and a deep desire to amplify African voices in the digital realm. As he spoke of his Cameroonian roots and the challenges of navigating diasporic identity, his passion for merging tradition with technology became evident.&nbsp;Fast forward 10 months later to Paris, and there's Fingacode again, this time showing off "nth culture" to the world. It's a project that marries the art of coding with the rich patterns of Cameroonian textiles. Watching his journey from a distance, I felt I just had to reach out and get the scoop on what makes him tick and how he cooks up his digital art.&nbsp;So, TRIBE, here's Fingacode, or Junior Ngoma as he was first known, a UK-based artist with roots stretching back to Cameroon and Congo. He's always been into music, but it was the digital world where he found his true calling. He's like a chef for digital art, serving up bits and bytes in the most creative ways to express himself and his rich heritage.<img src="https://1tribe.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/918_A0220_8400f76b99.jpg" alt="FC.jpg">&nbsp;His narrative begins with a struggle for identity, a journey of self-discovery that transcends geographical boundaries.&nbsp;<blockquote><h4>"Growing up, I wrestled with my identity," he shared. ‘nth culture’ was my canvas, a medium through which I could articulate my dual heritage in a language I knew best—code."</h4></blockquote>&nbsp;Navigating the delicate balance between preserving cultural integrity and embracing modern technology posed a significant challenge for Fingacode. His approach was one of thoughtful consideration, rooted in a deep respect for the evolving nature of culture. "As I studied them more, I found that as society evolves, so too does culture," he explained. This realization became the cornerstone of his creative process, guiding him as he sought to maintain the essence of Toghu and Ndop fabrics while infusing them with his own unique perspective.<img src="https://1tribe.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/918_A0206_a173ecaaad.jpg" alt="918A0206.jpg">"nth culture" resonates deeply with those straddling multiple worlds, offering a visual narrative of the intricate dance between heritage and assimilation. Fingacode's use of a grid structure serves as a metaphor for the complexities of cultural identity, symbolizing the boundaries within which individuals navigate their dual existence. "Visually, I was trying to communicate that within the boundaries of your home, anything goes," he elaborated. It is a sentiment that reverberates with anyone who has experienced the dichotomy of cultural immersion and societal norms.&nbsp;The Paris exhibition marked a pivotal moment in Fingacode's artistic journey, a culmination of years of dedication and creative exploration. "Being featured in any kind of book, let alone a Taschen art book, is definitely something I never envisioned," he reflected. The experience was surreal, with standout moments like the taxi ride to the venue, where the sight of the Eiffel Tower underscored the magnitude of his achievement. It was a moment of validation, affirming his place among recognized artists on the global stage.<img src="https://1tribe.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/81293c7f_240e_4fb2_82c2_9a1b49ff2ee0_af3b55a149.JPG" alt="FC.JPG">At the heart of Fingacode's art lies generative coding, a fusion of algorithms and artistic expression that gives life to his digital creations.&nbsp;<blockquote><h4>&nbsp;"The simplest way I can describe it is like having a set of instructions within a box," he explained. It is a medium that allows me to explore infinite possibilities within the constraints of technology, creating visually stunning pieces that blur the lines between art and innovation."</h4></blockquote>&nbsp;For Fingacode, digital art and technology are not just tools but vital means for preserving and evolving African cultural narratives. "African youth need to embrace technology to document their experiences and participate in global conversations," he emphasized. It is a sentiment rooted in a deep belief in the power of art to shape perceptions, challenge stereotypes, and reclaim narratives.<img src="https://1tribe.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/20240222_Maude_Artarit_TASCHEN_Paris_Bookstore_On_NF_Ts_0137_d6b390f9d3.jpg" alt="20240222_MaudeArtarit_TASCHEN_ParisBookstore_OnNFTs_0137.jpg">As our conversation meandered to the topic of digital platforms, Fingacode's passion for community shone through. While exploring spaces like OpenSea and eyeing the potential of Polkadot, he expressed a keen sense of being platform-agnostic yet deeply invested in inclusivity. "The tech can be overwhelming," he admitted, stressing the importance of platforms being welcoming rather than daunting, especially for artists who might not be tech-savvy. "It's about the art, the community, not the complexity of the blockchain," he reflected, envisioning a digital art world that champions diversity and simplicity.In an industry often overshadowed by complexity, Fingacode's stance underscores the need for simplicity and inclusivity. He values platforms that prioritize community engagement over technical prowess. "If I have to spend more time understanding a platform or blockchain vs actually doing the work, that can be a big deterrent," he explained.&nbsp;<img src="https://1tribe.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/918_A0016_ce913e1de2.jpg" alt="918A0016.jpg">As Fingacode explores new avenues and potential collaborations, his commitment to community-driven initiatives offers a glimpse into a more equitable digital art landscape. Ultimately, he reminds us that human connections and communities are the driving force behind innovation in the digital age.&nbsp;Looking ahead, Fingacode's heart is set on keeping Africa at the center of his work. "Whatever I do, Africa is my muse," he says, a reminder of the power of art to connect us to our roots and to each other. Through Fingacode's eyes, we see more than just art; we see a journey of discovery, innovation, and the magic that happens when we dare to blend our past with the possibilities of the future.

FINGACODE: THREADS OF THE FUTURE

<h1 style="margin-left:0px;text-align:center;">&nbsp;Afro-Futurism Unleashed</h1>Melding Artistry and Algorithm: Exploring the Convergence of Culture and Technology with a Digital Vanguard.<img src="https://1tribe.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/High_Sky_2_ca8e73b90c.jpg" alt="HighSky 2.jpg">In the boundless digital expanse, where creativity and technology merge, "AnybodyCanDoIt" emerges as a herald of Afro-futuristic brilliance. Discovering his work while traversing through the organised chaos of Instagram, I was drawn into a universe where African heritage and speculative technology not only coexist but thrive. This artist's vision extends beyond speculative fiction, proposing a future where African art and innovation are at the forefront of the digital landscape.&nbsp;Originating from a storied career in the gaming industry, "AnybodyCanDoIt" has explored and expanded the realms of digital creation. This journey has cultivated a unique blend of reality and imagination, laying the groundwork for his captivating Afro-futuristic visions. "The gaming industry was a crucible for my creativity, enabling me to merge vivid imagination with digital artistry... I've embraced AI as a means to enhance the detail and realism of the characters I create." This confession offers a glimpse into the artist's world, where each creation is a step further into uncharted territories of imagination and innovation.&nbsp;Discussing the harmony between 3D modeling and generative AI, the artist shares, "It's a partnership where structured design meets the unpredictable nature of AI, resulting in a harmonious blend that elevates my work to new levels of creativity." This partnership is not without its hurdles, yet he approaches these challenges as opportunities for growth, pushing the boundaries of what digital art can be.&nbsp;Central to his oeuvre are the guardians—powerful yet relatable entities who preside over futuristic African metropolises with grace and authority. These figures, depicted with a profound depth, serve as custodians of the African spirit in an era dominated by advanced technologies. The guardians, diverse in their portrayal, stand as symbols of unity and vigilance, embodying the artist's vision of a resilient and innovative Africa.&nbsp;The narrative deepens with the introduction of cyborg guardians and their direwolf- like companions, blurring the lines between the organic and the technological. This fusion forecasts a world where technological enhancement and natural essence coalesce, offering a glimpse into the symbiotic relationship between humanity and its creations.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://1tribe.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/Snapinsta_app_422314673_1842812799503952_2221054261253251950_n_1080_911c900a71.jpg" alt="Snapinsta.app_422314673_1842812799503952_2221054261253251950_n_1080.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;Intriguingly, "AnybodyCanDoIt's" art carries echoes of a bygone era, weaving symbols of consumer culture into the fabric of the future. The presence of familiar logos amidst the futuristic landscapes prompts reflection on the enduring impact of our current society on future generations.&nbsp;Amidst "AnybodyCanDoIt's" vast exploration of futuristic landscapes, a poignant question surfaces about the sustainability of incorporating blockchain technology into art. "The environmental impact of blockchain has always been a concern for me," the artist shares, emphasizing a cautious yet optimistic view towards technology's role in the future.&nbsp;In response to these concerns, I find it pertinent to discuss Polkadot's innovative approach to blockchain technology. Unlike traditional models, Polkadot operates on a Nominated Proof of Stake (NPoS) consensus mechanism, markedly reducing its energy consumption. This shift not only aligns with "AnybodyCanDoIt's" vision for an eco-friendly future but also offers a blueprint for sustainable digital innovation. Polkadot exemplifies how blockchains can evolve, supporting the creative landscape without forsaking our planet's well-being.&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://1tribe.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/robot1_d31fd571c6.jpeg" alt="robot1.jpeg">" "AnybodyCanDoIt" envisions a renaissance where digital progress enhances rather than eclipses traditional art forms."&nbsp;Looking ahead, This era of artistic revival promises to elevate African cultural narratives, marrying heritage with innovation. "We stand at the dawn of an artistic evolution," the artist declares, envisioning a future enriched by both the digital and the ancestral.&nbsp;Noteworthy is his passion for education, which underscores the transformative power of creativity and the importance of equipping the next generation with digital art tools. "Inspiring young artists to express their visions through digital means is incredibly fulfilling," he remarks, advocating for a future brimming with Afro-futuristic creativity.&nbsp;AnybodyCanDoIt's' art, draws us into envisioning a future where African digital artistry reigns supreme—a future distinguished by unparalleled creativity, ecological mindfulness, and cultural vibrancy that sets the global standard. This deep dive into Afro-futuristic wonders reveals the immense possibilities when African traditions meld with digital breakthroughs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://1tribe.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/anyonecanframe_8f2d20bcaa.jpg" alt="anyonecanframe-.jpg">&nbsp;This journey through Afro-futuristic wonders sheds light on the intersection of African culture and digital innovation. 'The artist's creations become a bridge, connecting us with a fusion of time-honored heritage and cutting-edge technology, painting a future where these elements enrich one another.&nbsp;He foretells a future "where the joy of creation remains distinctly human." His art symbolises this dream, blending the intuitive joy of art with technology's enhancements. Predicting a resurgence of traditional crafts, he believes, "As digital and traditional mediums converge, we'll celebrate heritage and craftsmanship," challenging established norms and celebrating the democratisation of generative art under his pseudonym "This Is Not Art." &nbsp;&nbsp;Explore "AnybodyCanDoIt's" collection <a href="https://www.instagram.com/anybody.can.do.it">here</a> and ponder the future, where art transcends limitations. &nbsp; &nbsp;

The track "Ruin," from Usher's much-anticipated album "Coming Home," is a seamless blend of sultry R&amp;B and the pulsating rhythms of Afrobeats, serving as a testament to the dynamic, diverse sounds emanating from Africa's rich musical landscape.&nbsp;"Marking the first collaboration between Usher and Pheelz, "Ruin" perfectly marries Usher's smooth R&amp;B vocals with the compelling Afrobeats beats crafted by Pheelz."&nbsp;This partnership symbolizes the fusion of musical genres, bringing together two artists from disparate musical realms to forge a unique sound. Usher, with his deep roots in R&amp;B, and Pheelz, known for his chart-topping, afro-soul-like productions in Nigeria, together celebrate the fusion of creativity and cultural exchange.&nbsp;This collaboration reflects not only in the music industry but also mirrors the burgeoning fusion of innovation and creativity in Africa's tech ecosystem. The synergy between Usher and Pheelz exemplifies the broader narrative of African creativity influencing global industries, paralleling the rise of African tech ventures and digital innovation on the world stage.&nbsp;<img src="https://1tribe.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/Usher_Pheelz_Ruin_3ac6cb2c6a.jpg" alt="Usher-Pheelz-Ruin.jpg">&nbsp;"Ruin" explores the themes of love, heartbreak, and resilience. The track's narrative, enriched by Usher's emotive nuances and Pheelz's lyrical depth, offers an anthem for the heartbroken, promising a journey through the spectrum of love's complexities. Accompanied by five remixes and an instrumental version, "Ruin" invites listeners to experience the artistic versatility and emotional depth of both Usher and Pheelz.&nbsp;"Coming Home," Usher's ninth studio album, is a tapestry of global collaborations, featuring a diverse array of artists, including Latto, Burna Boy, 21 Savage, and BTS's Jung Kook. Scheduled for release in the lead-up to Usher's Super Bowl LVIII halftime show, the album epitomizes a musical homecoming, embracing a wide range of influences and showcasing the unifying power of music.&nbsp;<img src="https://1tribe.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/usher_ruin_047aac2d4d.png" alt="usher-ruin.png">&nbsp;The collaboration on "Ruin" symbolizes more than a musical milestone; it bridges continents, cultures, and genres. At 1TRIBE, we laud this harmonious blend as a mirror to our mission of amplifying African creativity. As Afrobeats continues to carve its niche globally, tracks like 'Ruin' exemplify music's capacity to connect, empower, and transcend boundaries, heralding a new chapter in the global narrative of musical innovation.&nbsp;<div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe width="100%" height="630" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dsv9EAuW5H8?si=i4l-fFHCXyC8fOtv" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>

<img src="https://1tribe.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/oxlade_1_TRIBE_c0a25af048.jpg" alt="oxlade_1TRIBE.jpg"><code>H</code>ey Tribe!Oxlade, the Nigerian music sensation, is back with another hit that challenges the norms and takes his art to new heights. His latest single, "Katigori," is not just a follow-up to his previous work with Dave on "Intoxycated." It's a fresh, energetic track that resonates with the experiences and aspirations of today's youth, particularly the African Gen Z audience.&nbsp;The song's opening lines, 'So many stories untold, so many mysteries I gats to unfold,' set the stage for a journey through Oxlade's artistic world. "Katigori" speaks to the heart of the listener, tapping into a universal desire for discovery and self-expression. Oxlade's commitment to his musical legacy is clear as he navigates through the challenges and triumphs that come with being an artist.&nbsp;The chorus of "Katigori," 'Igi-imu jinna s’ori, you know say me and you no dey for same katigori, story,' is a powerful assertion of individuality. It's a statement about being unique in one's journey, regardless of external expectations or societal norms. This message of embracing one’s identity is especially poignant for young listeners who are carving out their own paths.&nbsp;Oxlade’s song is more than just a collection of catchy beats and lyrics. It’s an exploration of his identity as an artist and an individual.
