YOUR WEEKEND PLANS, SORTED

It’s finally Friday and if you are looking for a sign to stop scrolling through the section of what’s recommended for you on your streaming apps, this is it. We have put together a little curated weekend roadmap to help you trade the thpical Friday Search for some high-octane history and fresh perspective.

First on the list is Amanirenas Episode 2. If you thought the first episode was intense, this one turns up the heat. We are moving past the introductions and straight into the moment Rome realizes they have made a massive, arrogant mistake. If you are late to the party, don’t sweat it, just dive into Episode 1 first to see how this legendary defiance started.  

Next, when you are ready to come up for air between episodes, we have got a few quick reads that dive into the “why” behind the animation. We are obsessed with how historical fantasy can breathe life into ancient stories, and we have  been exploring how animation serves as a visual revolution for social change. We also shared our thoughts on specific African animation style. These are not dry essays, they are the blueprints for everything you see on our channel.

Finally, if you want to just keep up with the vibes we have been dropping all week, head over to our Instagram. It is where we share the daily inspiration that keeps the studio running. Grab a drink, settle in and enjoy the weekend. We have got plenty for you to dig into.
