Don’t miss out on @aeidesign_ 's final event‼️ #repost • @aeidesign_ “This series was a nod to an era that gave me inspiration during a time when artistically I didn’t feel inspired by anything. I saw an image by photographer Colin Jones from his “The black house” project from the 1970’s it was of 2 black men standing in front of a wall with some graffiti with their Afros and bell bottoms and it sparked something in me. I started gathering more images from that era and fell more in love with how carefree the men were when it came to fashion and how they’re swag oozed through the images still all these years later. I wanted to recreate that in a way.” @nyasiasylvester “Can ya dig it?” series, Queens NY ✨ Save the date! Submit a talk! We’re continuing our Speak on it! series with 10-12 @black.ignite talks exploring ways we can redesign our cities, combat gentrification, renew and restore neighborhoods, and bring more health, equity and wellness to our city dwellers. ⚠ YOU ARE INVITED ⚠ #Repost @femmecubator @heatherlee.nguyen ❣️#FollowFriday ❣️ ❣️❣️THERE IS STILL TIME TO SUPPORT 😆❣️❣️
