Description
Story of Afrobeats: Step into the vibrant world of Afrobeats with this original artwork, created during the Evolvin’ Women event on November 9, 2024, at KIZA in Dubai. Afro Beats, a genre rooted in the musical traditions of West Africa, combines infectious rhythms, layered percussion, and contemporary sounds to create a style that is energetic, soulful, and globally celebrated. This artwork brings the heartbeat of Afro Beats to life, capturing its rhythm, vibrancy, and cultural richness in a stunning visual form.
Artwork creation process: The Evolvin’ Women dancers became part of the creative process, transforming their movements into a symphony of colors on the canvas. Dancing to the pulsating beats of Afrobeats music, each step and gesture left a mark in vivid tempera paints, creating fluid patterns and dynamic forms that echo the rhythm and energy of the music.
The canvas is alive with contrasts—some areas showcase distinct footprints, while others blend into abstract patterns that mirror the genre’s multifaceted nature. The dancers’ movements, combined with the bold and vibrant color palette, create a visual story of joy, resilience, and connection, encapsulating the spirit of Afrobeats.
