“I've never experienced a month without a challenge,” he says. “I can't just give up everything and vanish in fear; the culture and passion will not allow me. As my ideology states: life is what you design it to be, create an opportunity out of every challenge and architect the future! So I took up the challenge to create a new programme, in 48 hours, for the next Thursday Night Live!”

In a new ‘poemagraphy’, Melanin Kris invites us behind the scenes into his daily life as an artist-entrepreneur—overcoming challenges in a changed universe characterised by constant enthusiasm versus anxiety.

Melanin Kris

Melanin Kris is a Rotterdam bases multidisciplinary storyteller, better known as the 'spoken and visual thought' artist. He believes people are conscious co-creators of reality and therefore architects of the future. He aspires to inspire people to be aware of modern-day superpowers. Melanin Futurism is the self-coined denominator in which he curates poetry about modern-day dilemmas of colorful people, the culture, and the way in which aesthetics serve as a 21st century imagining of unspoken thoughts, which are expressed through fashion, magical realism, media-art, and philosophies intercrossing western cosmologies.
