“We don’t kick the ball. We dance with the ball.” ⚽️

During the World Cup, Atlanta’s African Diaspora Art Museum is centering a different kind of football story. ADAMA founder Fahamu Pecou walks WABE Arts through ‘The African Game,’ photographer and filmmaker Andrew Dosunmu’s immersive body of work shot across nine African countries — floor-to-ceiling images of fans, ritual, and community that reframe what the sport means. On view through July 25.

BOSK🍷🍽️
Welcome to the Studio./ Southwest Atlanta has secured the ultimate third space, and the aesthetic is completely flawless.
Forget the overcrowded spots—BOSK Coffee Wine & Tapas in Fairburn Mays is where the actual culture is thriving. Founded by two visionary sisters, this Black- and woman-owned gem is anchoring the SWATS with unmatched creative energy.
By day, it’s a brilliant, sunlit haven pulling perfect handcrafted lattes. By night? The vibe shifts into an intimate hub for boutique wine and highly shareable small plates. It isn’t just a cafe; it’s an open invitation to gather around a true neighborhood table and connect over the city's best independent culinary stories.
This space is not only for food and wine, it's also a place to build your network, meet your creative collaborators, or put your head down and get to work on your laptop with fantastic music as the soundtrack. BOSK feels less like a business and more like the city’s living room. It's the exact kind of deeply intentional, community-driven space that deserves all of our support right now. Get here before the secret is entirely out.
