Hi there,

London in the United Kingdome is hosting the first ever fair of modern African art. The 1:54 Contemporary Fair will feature the 54 countries in Africa and will showcase 70 emerging African artists. Exciting times for African talent!

This week I found inspiration in the faith of the Jews who fled Israel to preserve their faith. I am always so moved by the determination of the Jewish community to survive. So, here is your latest article from the African Culture site at BellaOnline.com.
