Fahamu Pecou Art, Inc. proudly announces Clark Atlanta University Collections of African American Art’s acquisition of Martyr, Inc. – a painting from Pecou’s acclaimed body of work, ALL FALLS DOWN. The Clark Atlanta University Collections of African American Art collects, preserves, studies and exhibits fine art works that document American history and culture.

Fahamu Pecou, Killer Mike, Neycha, and Shannon McCollum will question, comment and dialogue about the popularization of certain trends and social behaviors celebrated within black male culture such as “saggin”. They will discuss the inherent social commentary made by this fashion statement as well as the proliferation of celebrated negative behaviors within black male youth culture.

Award winning writer, activist, and counselor Edward M. Garnes, Jr., founder of From Afros To Shelltoes, brings his “Sweet Tea Ethics” to an uncensored documentary film entitled The reMixed Mind: Crossfaders, Visionaries & other Revolutionaries starring Joi Gilliam, stic man( dead prez), Killa Mike, Dionne Farris Jason Orr, Shannon McCollum, Lil John Roberts, Fahamu Pecou, DJ Kemit, Rich Medina, Ndea Davenport, and others.

Fahamu Pecou’s “All Falls Down” is what happens when truth telling comes knocking at your front door. Pecou’s work proclaims: “I see you (America).. and how you see me (the Black man).” Like all of his installations, style does not supplant substance. Pecou audaciously answers a very weighty question: “What happens when self-preservation becomes self-destruction?”

Artist Fahamu Pecou continues to strut his lyrical stuff pushing role models in a blog inspired by Dr. Cornel West & Sweet Tea Ethics.

Edward M. Garnes Jr, founder of From Afros To Shelltoes and 2009 Atlanta Tribune Men Of Distinction, is featured in world renown artist Fahamu Pecou’s latest solo exhibition entitled Blak Presidential debuting at VOLTA 5, a cutting edge art fair taking place during Basel’s Art Week (Basel, Switzerland).
