Sanford Biggers, Blossom

"In Blossom, a piano inexplicably fused with a tree plays "Strange Fruit" (in an arrangement by the artist). The song, popularized in the 1930s by Billie Holiday, protests the atrocity of lynching: "Southern trees bear a strange fruit, / Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, / Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze, / Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees." The haunting lyrics suggest that the fused piano may be read as a surrogate for a violated human body."

Art meets music. A perfect combination!

Love this Jimi Hendrix tattoo that we found at Afropunk!

Father-son bonding time at Afropunk. We noticed there were a lot of kids being introduced to the Afropunk culture and we loved it!

A fashion statement like no other

Spending time with good friends and enjoying the scenes around you were the themes at Afropunk

Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast; you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.   Eddie Cantor

Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music-the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself. Henry Miller

" A lot of times people think you have to keep social issues separate from political issues and fashion—like they don’t mix. We totally don’t believe that at all. A lot of times you can use your platform to spread the word on a cause.  With anything, when you're breaking the mold, it's always a hesitation because this whole thing with fashion and being conscious is still very new. But people are starting to pick up on it." Cipriana Quann

Into every beautiful object, there enters the somewhat immeasurable and divine. And just as much into form bounded by others, like mountains on the horizon, as into tones of music, or depths of space.

Late night Sunday care packages are the best. #costarica #coffee #volio #lizano #gallito #tico

From sunsets on the Okavanga Delta; to rainbows pouring into Victoria Falls; to clouds hugging Table Mountain and elephants cooling off, our #tbt is dedicated to our travels around South Africa, Zambia and Botswana.

About last night. Puglia style dinner with a little Almodóvar on the side.
