My Aunt Nona's little Geoffrey Beene gold beaded dress is now on display at the Museum of the City of New York. The exhibition is Mod New York, Fashion Takes a Trip.....and you can bop and bounce through the exhibit listening to the sound track of the time. The exhibit features designers Geoffrey Beene, Ruby Bailey, Pauline Trigére, and more.

I got to the Met just in time to see the Rei Kawakubo Comme De Garçons. It closes September 4th. Just a few more days and then something else original and inspiring will show up.

June 10th 2017, Union Docs (https://uniondocs.org/), premiered 8 short films, one of which I was involved with.......for me that was pretty cool. Two programs of very strong work; one that enters on remarkable spaces of community and resistance, and another centered on unshakeable duos, odd couples, and partners in the struggle. They began the first part of the program in Sternberg Park aka The Big Park. The second part was viewed at Union Docs.It was an incredible night to watch the creative work of these filmakers.
