The narrative of South Asian music for generations has been limited to the traditional and classical genres.

BNE, short for Bangla New Era, is a platform dedicated to empowering artists, managers and labels alike with tools to succeed in the entertainment industry. Leaving the technical headache out and focusing on creation. From distribution, curation, promotion to IRL events, BNE aims to cover the requirements and challenges of artists’ full life cycle.

“About Damn Time” aims to showcase the diverse and vibrant music scene of the South Asian community, bringing together renowned artists who have made significant contributions to the industry as well as up-and-coming promising talents.

The 2023 Global Healing Festival by Embodied Black Girl Returns, Disrupting Grind Culture and Centering Rest

The 2023 Global Healing Festival by Embodied Black Girl Returns, Disrupting Grind Culture and Centering Rest

The free one-day festival featuring today’s visionary thought leaders will take place online on June 9, 2023

The Global Healing Festival by Embodied Black Girl returns for its fourth annual festival on June 9, 2023. The festival is the first of its kind and nourishes the healing and liberation of Black women and women of color while enlivening culture change and making wellness, somatics and mental health more accessible to the communities that need it most. 

Every year the free grassroots virtual festival attracts thousands of participants around the world, primarily through word of mouth.  

Curated by the global wellness and leadership education platform, Embodied Black Girl, the day-long online, interactive and immersive festival experience, includes in-depth workshops and thought-provoking conversations with today’s leading visionary cultural shapers.

This year’s theme, The Future is Embodied: The Rest-volution, is an invitation to enter the dream space and leave grind culture behind. In spite of the grim statistics and policies that impact Black women in particular, we root for a vision of joy, hope and self-determination.

In keeping this festival free through the years, our hope is to make wellness, somatics and mental health more accessible to Black women and folks of color and, in turn, create a world where we are seen, held and empowered. In this space, rest is life and our bodies transform into revolutionary portals and oracles for liberation. 

The festival will be hosted by Embodied Black Girl founder Thérèse Cator, who’ll be joined by honored guests: 

  • Tricia Hersey, founder of The Nap Ministry and NYT Bestselling Author of Rest is Resistance 
  • Dr. Jennifer Mullan, founder of Decolonizing Therapy and author of the forthcoming book Decolonizing Therapy: Oppression, Historical Trauma and Politicizing Your Practice (W. W. Norton & Company)
  • Tigidankay “TK” Saccoh, founder of The Darkest Hue, a digital platform that centers the experiences and perspectives of dark-skinned Black girls, women, and femmes 
  • Natalee Facey, Resilience Coach and Birth Doula 

The festival will explore questions like…

  • How does rest support our individual and collective liberation?
  • How can we move beyond a cognitive understanding of rest to an embodied knowing of rest?
  • How can we foster deeper embodiment while having difficult and necessary conversations within our family and communities?
  • What dreams are we here to birth and nurture that will support personal and communal thriving?

Maru Teppei’s photography, which has previously been recognized for its surrealistic aesthetics and vivid engagement with the subject, adds an arresting visual depth to the anthology.

This collection is a testament to Salon87’s mission: to create new trends in the fashion and beauty industry worldwide from Brooklyn, NY. “87 Heads” is a tribute to the perseverance and passion of its stylists: Chika Nishiyama, Izumi Sato, Miwako Urasugi, and Yu Nakata.

The photobook serves as a testament to the profound talent and vision of Hiro+Mari and Maru Teppei and as a tribute to the resilient East Williamsburg community. “87 Heads” is more than just a showcase of hairstyles; it’s a portrait of a community, a snapshot of a moment in time, and a celebration of human connection, solidarity, and creative expression.

The major event, Europe’s largest crypto and NFT gathering, will take place on June 10-11, bringing together an audience of 8,000 attendees and over 300 expert speakers to explore and discuss the latest trends and technologies shaping the future of the Web3 ecosystem.

With the introduction of the SourceLess Wallet and the wNFT platform, SourceLess aims to reshape the blockchain industry and establish a leading role in this technology space, marking a significant milestone in its mission to create the first World Wide Blockchain.

The ground-breaking innovations SourceLess brings to the table will debut with the SourceLess Wallet – a decentralized crypto wallet that promises unmatched security, privacy, and offline functionality to its users. The wallet features a highly intuitive interface and exclusively encrypts all wallet information on the user’s device, eliminating the risks associated with centralized authentication systems.

In parallel, SourceLess introduces the wNFT platform, a gateway to a new era of digital ownership. Going beyond digital art, this platform offers a diverse range of NFTs, each representing lifetime ownership of an STR.domain with real-world benefits. Additionally, the platform hosts valuable utility NFT collections from esteemed partners that bridge the physical and digital realms, providing tangible value to its users.

Through the wNFT platform, users will have the opportunity to acquire STR.domains, which play a central role in the SourceLess ecosystem. These domains offer lifetime ownership, a stable and secure online presence, complete control over digital identity, and the ability to tokenize businesses. They enable the creation of websites or applications with simple commands, boast zero transaction costs, and provide tools for scalability and communication within the ecosystem.

Web3 Berlin 2023 serves as the perfect event for SourceLess to unveil its groundbreaking technologies and marks the first step in establishing its comprehensive ecosystem. As the project continues to develop its offerings, it aims to create a more intelligent and interconnected web — the first World Wide Blockchain.
