R Magazine, Ex-TeenArt_Issue 1_Authenticity Ap. 2014 | Page 3

Intro

On this third edition,
we will make stops in Venice with its legendary carnival
then hop in a plane to Togo for the festival of black deities.
Our trip will end under the Caribbean sun
where we will enjoy a series of pictures.
Afterwards,
be sure to be captivated by the guardians of the ancient kingdoms
who fancily called themselves amazons.
You will have to adopt an artistically poor attitude
and / or work in a close collaboration with nature,
if you do not want to end up in their four elements.
If you succeed to leave the world of the amazons unharmed,
take some cocooning time
with a secret formula for making your own soap
and why not make that soap on a table you designed
with the help of a cabinetmaker.
Hmm ... you can do this while humming a feel good Gospel melody
and use African fabrics for your clothes
or to adorn your dread locks
in the shade of the garden of Jade
while reading about the downfall of Sakina Bâ?
