If you missed Sharp With Art Group's recent art and talent showcase
"Drippin SWAGu" at the Sanctuary Wholistic Art Gallery you missed out
big time!<br />
<br />
With the infamous DJ Ricochet rocking the show with his
special brand of mixing, the show was popping bridging hot sounds with
incredible art courtesy of the SWAG Team (Rell Stylez, Neef, Shiz, Tone
Casso, and Jae Martin.)<br />
<br />

entertained by the talented line up of up and coming performers.
President of the Hip Hop Party for the People and emcee Pili X blessed
the crowd with his crazy lyrics. Flash Amorosos and his Star Enterprises
crew tore the house down with mad swag and appeal. The gifted duo Blak
S.W.A.G not only had the spot jumping with their fun energetic flows but
also with their dynamic dance moves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Talented lyricist No Eaze dropped jewels
to the audience with his insightful rhymes. Singer Tyshaniek represented
for the ladies with her soulful radiant voice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div>
As the show went on DJ Ricochet turned an art
show into a party! Everyone was on the floor "wobbling" and grooving to
the music. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At the end everyone walked off satisfied with a good time. Especially the raffle winners of the loaded SWAG bags.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
Thanks to all who came out!</div>
<div>

You might have heard about it <a href="http://archives.citypaper.net/articles/2008/12/18/the-green-futures-of-aaron-birk">when the Citypaper covered it</a> and <a href="http://archives.citypaper.net/pollinator/">had this beautiful front page illustration</a>. Now that it hit the press, Aaron wants you to come celebrate with him at Studio 34 this Saturday.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>The graphic novel tells “the story of three friends in their attempt to connect watersheds, city parks, and forest fragments via the corridors of flowering plants, restoring biodiversity to the streets and awakening communities to the soil beneath their feet.” They have to convince bees and butterflies to cross the industrial wasteland and help save the environment.</p><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/131997784/the-pollinators-corridor">You can scope out Aaron’s Kickstarter video here</a>.

Admission is free, and Aaron is selling copies of the graphic novel for $20.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>Go support a talented local writer and artist.

AfroFuturism is a literary, artistic and cultural aesthetic that considers Blackness as it looks and is defined in the future, examines science fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, and magic as it critiques the present-day situations of people of color, explores the implications of technology on Black art and literature, and interrogates historical events involving Blacks across the diaspora. Popular artists, musicians, theorists, and writers who can be linked to AfroFuturism include: Sun Ra, Saul Williams, Toni Morrison, Erykah Badu, Nalo Hopkinson, Outkast, Octavia Butler, Janelle Monae, Amiri Baraka, Wu Tang Clan, Jean-Michel Basquiat, George Clinton, Samuel Delaney, and many, many more. <br />
