Culture and Inspiration according to Myisha Cherry
We celebrate this day as Americans to commemorate when we as a nation in its infancy demanded to stand alone, stand far from the political and economic hold of a nation an ocean apart and become who we dreamed: America. I reflect on today as an American for the stand they took, but I celebrate [...]
Y’all know how I feel about street art. It is never graffiti to me, simply public art. While heading to a Soho Gallery last night, I couldn’t help but view an “outdoor” gallery on my way(The irony) to my SoHo destination. It included the work of artists we will never know, but also a few [...]
So Yesterday I met up with my BFF Jason for lunch to talk about our passion, our creative progress, and our creative slumps. That’s a whole other post to talk about all together. Jason is quite familiar with the eateries around soho, so we decided on sandwiches this go round. I must admit I had [...]
I showed you guys the pics the other day from the Ft.Greene Festival. Here’s a little video clip of the Mighty mos def performance. The audio may not be “great” but the video production is pretty awesome.I think it really captures the awesome time we had.
Saturday was the Ft. Greene Festival located in Ft. Greene Park. The festival is an opportunity to celebrate art and music of Brooklyn. It was also an opportunity just to grab a blanket, relax, and eat and also stand on our feet and rock out to great music in the neighborhood. We had a blast. [...]
A few weeks ago I finally made my way to Rockwood Music Hall. Its a nice music venue in the Lower East side that highlights live musicians; some independent, some grammy nominated, some internationally known. After being put on to Krystle Warren’s music by my bud Kristen, me and my bestbud made our way. I [...]
Pretty Amazing Weekend. Checked out cool, young, jazz artist Jose James at Weeksville and also stopped by the Brooklyn Museum for a nice outdoor dance party in celebration of Afro-Latin Roots. One thing the two had in common; music not only brings people together, but it also brings hands, fingers, & feet together… in dance. [...]
I went to the opening reception of my bud, Jason Griffin’s, new art exhibit called “1,000,000 Ninjas” in Long Island City. It was a show with collaborator Brandon Friend. Pretty darn awesome if you ask me. Concept is simply he is ninja(fying) everyday life and everyday people. Its both hilarious and brilliant. Check out his [...]
Two words that go well together during the summer time are Beaches and BBQ’s. Being from the south, I thought only those below the Mason Dixon Line could master them. I was wrong. New York City is the place to have both. Thanks to Z$ folks for the best BBQ I’ve been to in a [...]
I went to Elizabeth Street to hang out with one of my buds recently in Manhattan. As I strolled the streets, I couldn’t help but notice the street art, curated in its own unique way. Saying so much yet saying so little. Looking so young yet mature. So secretive yet bold. Ohhh Art how I [...]
Let me start off by saying that Kara Walker is a G. She is an African American artist who uses silhouetted figures to explore themes of race, gender, and violence. There are books full of her work. And these figures have also been seen on the walls of such places as the Metropolitan Museum of [...]
So I was having lunch in Union Square with one of my buds Janelle this week as we caught each other up on the happenings of our lives. Afterward, I walked her back to her job on 17th street. As a walked, I noticed a new Andy Warhol monument and was totally surprised to see [...]
Went to SOB’s here in NYC last night to witness Eric Roberson and Vivian Green in concert. What a night. Great Hospitality and cool food. Eric and Vivian for sure gave us a good show full of laughter, love, and great music. The tour is still going on. You can check here for dates in [...]
Well its getting warmer here in Brooklyn (as if the winter stops New Yorkers from enjoying themselves). There is one place that all Brooklynites and others seem to flock once a month and that is to the 1st Saturdays at the Brooklyn Museum. You see diverse ages, colors, and cultures emerge together to enjoy great [...]
I saw Kanye West perform live in London in 2007. It was perfection then but he keeps evolving all around. AT Coachella this year, he did even greater. This 2hour performance is absolutely entertaining and its performance professionalism at its best. Very intriguing, inspiring, and it should challenge all of us to do “our thing” [...]
So my bud and Jason Reynolds and I headed to SoHo a few weeks ago to support our Bro, New Daddy, & Visual Artist, Jason Griffin once again. Griffin participated in a collaborative art project here in the city. The purpose: create art, any art. Your canvas: a metro card aka bus/subway card. The art [...]
Had a get together at my apartment before we decided to go hang for the evening in celebration of the birthday. I have some of the most hilarious friends on this planet!!! Good times!
Well, happy belated birthday to me. Last week I turned a new age. It was a great week. I started it off with a birthday Dinner with a few of my buds at Cornerstone Restaurant In Brooklyn. Nice and Hilarious conversations. It felt good just to be surrounded with all my good buds in one [...]
I’ve been sitting on this EP for too long and its time to get it out of my hands!!! No need to keep it within the annuls of pro-tools, as it keeps company with the inside of my computer. I would rather it play on yours. With a birthday coming next week, I realize every [...]
