It’s baaaaack. Afropunk’s Carnival of Consciousness Atlanta 2018 is returning this weekend for two days of soulful music, loud and abstract art and colorful and free expression. The dates are Saturday, October 13 & Sunday, October 14.

The event has added a number of musical artists to its lineup, including Death Grips, Pusha T, Kaytranada, Rico Nasty and more.

Like last year, it will be held on Windsor Street near downtown Atlanta.

The annual festival pays homage to cultural cornerstones through music, film, skate, and art. The musical lineup will be announced later this week. Last year, major acts such as Solange, Willow Smith, Danny Brown and Alice Smith rocked the crowd.

“When we started the festival, it was meant as a platform for alternative black talent and to grow an audience we felt did not understand festival culture and therefore wouldn’t pay for it,” co-founder Matthew Morgan told Billboard.com in 2015. “We put a lot in by supporting the community for 10 years, so to have the community turn around and support the event, we were extremely happy about that.”

Tickets to the Carnival of Consciousness are on sale now. You can also volunteer and get an earned ticket by working on site.

The Wren’s Nest is inviting literature lovers out for a day of Brer Rabbit Blues & BBQ. The former home of Joel Chandler Harris, author of the Brer Rabbit and Uncle Remus stories, the Wrens Nest  is the oldest house museum in the state.

For over a century, the Wren’s Nest, located over 3 acres at 1050 Ralph David Abernathy Blvd, Atlanta, GA 30310, has served the community by keeping the art of storytelling alive.

Today, our mission is to continuing preserving African-American folklore through storytelling, tours, and student publishing.

As an organization founded on storytelling and literature, the Wren’s Nest encourages young authors to develop their talent and passion for writing. “Each semester we work with students from Brown Middle School and KIPP STRIVE Academy through our Scribes program. We give the students a theme, connect them with mentors, and challenge students to develop their writing skills,” said executive director Melissa Swindell. “The students’ work is then published in two separate books, one for each school.”

The Wren’s Nest Scribes program is funded by MailChimp, Gas South, the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, Fulton County Arts & Culture, the Georgia Council for the Arts, and contributions from individuals and local businesses. “Hands-on community support makes the Brer Rabbit Blues and barbecue fundraiser a reality. Not only are our vendors – Monday Night Brewing and Das BBQ – our neighbors, but they support us through donations and their time,” said Melissa Swindell, executive director of The Wren’s Nest.

“Das BBQ has provided the food at the past two fund-raisers, and we’re very pleased to have them back for a third year,” added Wren’s Nest board member Jim Auchmutey, who was guest curator of the “Barbecue Nation” exhibition at the Atlanta History Center.

Guests at the barbecue will also enjoy live music as they picnic in the 2.5-acre yard surrounding house. The Tom Hill Band will perform blues music, and share the stage with local non-profit, Jazz Matters, led by Edwin Williams, the former bass player for at Dante’s Down The Hatch, a beloved Atlanta restaurant that was a noted jazz venue.
