One of the greatest Love Letter I’ve heard…
Within great pain, there is great Healing…

While listening to this song…by L.A artist Blu with the amazing Billy Holiday, pulled these words out of me. In moments like this, where struggle becomes tiring, thank God for music to finally let you breathe… in Peace.
Peace.
i used to know peace
before i can remember…
before thoughts become words…
before time became hard to keep up
i used to know peace
before reflection became an expression
like remembering a song i never heard
Peace was the beginning and the end
Peace was before the first light
and the shadow of
two paths
of Life and Death
Right and wrong
Lies and Truth
its the Infinite before the present
peace…
gave colors its expression
Dimensions in spaces
This is to know peace
this is to accept
the reflection
within
Me.
Recently, I was fortunate enough to attend the gallery opening for Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder, Dame Dash . He celebrated the opening of DD172 in Tribeca at a four-story artistic space. The hip hop mogul opened the gallery at 172 Duane St. to showcase and nuture young talent. The exhibit showcased artists, Isaac Fortule, Bobby Castaneda, Heather Ruiz, Hector Gargon and Jeremey Wagner.
I have attended and have been involved in enough gallery shows, to say that this show is really my type of exhibition. It had great music coming from the DJ, live painting, and people that really embraced music with art and culture. I probably love this show than the shows I’ve been in because it was a hiphop crowd. However, I do hope that this crowd can appreciate the art and really invest and buy art pieces, instead of just there to party, honestly.
The art there was amazing, however, it was kind of hard to tell which pieces belong to which artists. A bio or a name was not made obvious enough in each room of different pieces. I would’ve like to know bit more about the artists. However, it was an opening night, the party atmosphere created more of an environment for socializing.
I was very inspired by the event. And I loved the fusion of gallery art and hiphop. I was excited to be at an event that involved all aspects of what my heart absolutely loves.
