Pre-order the next installment of the dubbin series by Dr. d’bi.young anitafrika.

What does it mean to make art from the whole self?

dubbin praxis: the anitafrika method is an invitation into a decoliberatory approach to art-making, self-inquiry and transformation developed by Dr. d'bi.young anitafrika over more than two decades of artistic practice, teaching and femtorship.

At its centre are nine principles: Self-Knowledge, Power, Orality, Language, Rhythm, Urgency, Sacredness, Integrity and Experience. Together, they offer practitioners a way to ask deeper questions of themselves, their stories, their relationships and the work they are trying to make.

Part theory, part methodology and part practical companion, dubbin praxis moves between reflection, embodied practice and creative exploration. It asks us to consider not only what we make, but where we are making from, who we are accountable to, what we carry with us, and what might become possible through the making.

dubbin praxis: the anitafrika method is for all practitioners: artists, educators, students, cultural workers and anyone interested in emancipatory approaches to creative practice,
