The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago is opening up the Summer / Fall 2021 season with the amazing landmark group exhibition, "Chicago Comics: 1960 until Now!" SHOW LINK
The MCA is featuring a mural-sized public outdoor promotional display featuring the iconic 1980 image of the first Rhythmistic hero character published by ONLI STUDIOS, "NOG: The Protector of the Pyramides"/ AKA. The Nubian of Greatness! LINK
Created by the "Father of the Black Age", Prof. Turtel Onli. ONLI STUDIOS LINK
This honor propels "NOG" on to the vaulted level of Graphic Novel's industry and academic legend. Onli coined the term "Rhythmism" to express an awareness of the pathways of genetic memory in the artistic process resulting in that expression of the Future-Primitif in the early 1970s. His practice has maintained its value and impact as a precursor to the trending of Afrofuturism and other terms created by folks not of the African Diaspora. This refinement is an intelligent autonomous scaffolding on the term "Black Art".
Academics, historians, students, professionals, and fans often debate the impact and value of styles and genres created, cultured and commercialized by members of the African Diaspora in contrast to those empowered by better financed members of the mainstream. LINK
