Luc PrincenWhat a simple and powerful message in this Ad.
Lil Crow 🇨🇦 🐦⬛🐰@lucp is that just the black colonies? Because Canada isn’t there and we were native at the time, so…. That message board is seriously lacking.

The long post is well worth a read if you have time, if not, here's a short quote:
"the topic of imperialism and the legacy of global colonialism is voluminous, to say the least.
"The reality of producing an artwork that can address such a gargantuan concept, while speaking to all experiences and perspectives, felt not only unfeasible but problematic. And to do so would undermine the very reason the project exists, as per the question: ‘What do Black people want?’". 1/2
"Well, Black culture is not monolithic, and one size does not fit all. In addition, I do not believe a large enough billboard exists, to graphically capture the full scope of the topic.
... "This is not to reduce, ignore or sideline African nations or other cultures throughout the world, that have suffered and survived colonial and imperial struggles.". 2/2
