Every time we gather, we raise the bar… (see what I did there?)

So honored to celebrate another successful edition of the #NewBlackRenaissance presented by @martellusa.

Inspired by the legacy of Harlem Renaissance-era salons, this series brings together artists, creatives, and more for intimate conversations around contemporary Black art and culture. Our latest event featured the iconic Radcliffe Bailey (@radcliffebaileyjr) and a host of Atlanta’s dynamic creative class! Toss in delectables by @EarthcandyArts… music by @SalahAnanse… and exquisite cocktails courtesy of #MartellBlueSwift.

These are the moments that become movements. This is the #NewBlackRenaissance!

I am Essé (Essenam) Dabla-Attikpo. I am from Togo and Benin and based in Accra, Ghana since 2013. I am an independent Curator, Art Consultant and Cultural Producer. I am an expert in West African Contemporary Art and production of cultural events.⁠
⁠
I wanted to work around media, arts and communication, ideally on the African continent. This interest came from being surrounded by creatives from a young age – designer Aunty, writer Dad, rapper/Dj/visual artist big brother. My studies gave me the right tools to work with artists in an Intercultural environment.⁠
⁠
Since 2018, I am developing This No Be Art - art consultancy, curating exhibitions, creating experiences around contemporary art and fostering an art collecting culture among Africans and Afro-descendants, without forgetting my love for hip hop. I currently work at the intersection between hip hop and contemporary art, researching on representations of Blackness in hip hop culture by Black visual artists.⁠
