The cover page of vol 2 of Sankofa Currents, Fall 2025 - the special "year-in-review" journal issue for the Collaboratory for Black Poiesis. The cover background appears like light brown construction paper, with more orange, beige, and deep blue construction paper with torn edges layered above it and glitter adorning the centre of the cover where a purple moon-shaped image rests. The upper right corner depicts a vintage stencil drawing of planetary constellations and related geometric patterns. The central text reads: The Collaboratory for Black Poiesis in white capital letters with the white CBP logo. Underneath a cursive marigold text reading Sankofa Currents (the name of the lab's journal). The footer text reads: We Make - We Study - We Remember - We Write - We Live - We Be in all caps.
