ON + OFF | Vibe Music Collective @ Webster Hall/Metro Gallery 9/25/2015

On episode 4 of ON+OFF, I took a mini road trip with Iman Omari and Billlzegypt to capture Vibe Music Collective perform at Webster hall in NYC and Metro Gallery in Baltimore for back to back shows. It was very very #lit.

For 5 weeks, Documentary Photographer and Visual Artist Nancy Musinguzi (@afrikansniper) hosted & led a visual storytelling workshop with SPNN’s Youth Action Committee (YAC) (@spnnyouth) where students combined conceptual imagery and poster making to tackle a social issue they were most passionate about. In partnership with Proof Public (proofpublic), YAC members independently designed and screenprinted unique hashtags to spark new dialogue around their chosen issue as well as amplify the messages behind their imagery. MEGA excited from how this collaboration came together! If you’re in the St Paul area this evening, come out to SPNN’s HQ and support the youth’s final exhibit and learn more about the inspiration behind their works. #artasactivism #socialjustice #youth #visualstorytelling #photography #letterpress #screenprinting #exhibit #msp #mpls #stp #thebxbco

We've made it to the shelves y'all! SUPER excited to share that @afrikansniper's photo zine is now available to purchase at @bookhousedinkytown in Dinkytown (right next to The Varsity Thearter). So head on over and cop yours while supply lasts! 🌈⚡️

Earning a living year round as a freelance artist can be a stressful endeavor. From organizing invoices, W2's, and paperwork just for independent contractors, tax season can feel like a burden when it should really feel like a fresh start to your fiscal year. Recognizing these issues we see in members of our creative community, we've partnered with Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association (NEMAA) to host an event that will help people like you understand the ins and outs of the financial literacy needed to sustain your creative work! Please join us on March 22nd by RSVP'ing ASAP as there are only 20 spots* open for this FREE EVENT! To register, visit: bit.ly/faqs101 *We especially encourage young, Black, Brown, Indigenous, Queer & Trans freelancers for this class as much of this literacy remains absent from our communities!

This past Sunday, we teamed up with @ryan_stopera @patiencezalanga @afrikansniper and @extensive_knowledge to document and witness this powerful direct action by @blackvisionscollective's #SBLIIBLACKOUT protest stopping stadium-goers on the Green Line Lightrail and putting their bodies on the line for the liberation of Black Lives // 🎥: @ryan_stopera / @extensive_knowledge #tbt #bhm #protest #blm #youcanplaywithblacklives

We started our new photo residency with Roosevelt High School in South Mpls this morning and these kids are beyond adorable ✨ For the next 2 months, we will be teaching a series of visual storytelling workshops that provide youth the tools and resources to share stories about their community and what they would like to change or improve by documenting their everyday experiences living in Minnesota.
