AFROHADA 아프로하다

We are Looking for Lovers of African Art.

“AFRO” pronounced as [ /ˈafrō/ ].
On the surface, AFRO simply means kinky or curly hairstyle of African (or mixed African) origin. Throughout history different AFRO hairstyles were used to express beauty and also to define hierachy and status within some African tribes. AFRO is the ultimate symbol of Black pride, beauty, and heritage. And as such AFRO has also been most recently used by Africans (and people of African decent) as a larger symbol of their resistance to oppression of any kind. “AFRO-“ can also be used as a combining form. i.e, African [PLUS] something else. 

"하다(hada)" basically means ‘Do‘ in Korean. But it’s used as ‘Do’ and ‘Be + Adjective’ (descriptive verbs instead of adjectives). 하다 verbs are made of a noun + a 하다 conjugation.

Here at AFROHADA, our aim is to capture and celebrate all these meanings of AFRO in an extended world of artistic fusion, starting with Korea, Korean language, art and culture.
