I wasn’t the photographer for @bridgett_d’s @helgathefilm, her first time back in the director’s chair in 30 years. That honor goes to our daughter, the quite capable @shotzbyabbie. However, I hung out on the set a few times, and here are a few of the shots I captured. The fun part? I got to use my Fujinon 56/1.2! I hardly carry it, certainly not for street. So this was a real treat to be reminded of what it can do. #filmset #behindthescenes🎬 #photography #fujilove #womendirectors

Someone said, you gotta have some nerve to celebrate a launch during Mercury retrograde. Why, yes, I do! How are you going to have a zine called BCKBONE and fold because Mercury isn't direct? (TBH I didn't even realize we'd still be in that matrix when I decided to celebrate issue 2 of my zine last night). Anyway retrogrades are great for revisiting projects from the past. BCKBONE launched in 2024 and even though I thought the next issue would be out sooner, God had other plans and this second issue took way longer. Everything in its right time and place though! Asé. I took every disruption as an opportunity to make this issue bigger (literally), better and more beautiful. And last night's celebration was like the issue itself-- grand, joy-filled, thoughtful, fly and free! Thank you to @jessicacaremoor for her contribution to the zine and for her 🔥 reading of excerpts from three of her works. Big-up @professor_crunk @whateverjewel @iamkfm and @drkerritacreative who also contributed their brilliance to the issue. Thank you to @mocada_museum and their ED-- @missaimstar for hosting and sponsoring the @bckbonezine party. It was a blast and that sorrel and prosecco was YUMMY! 😋 And last, but not least Big-Up to the BCKBONE small but mighty team-- @tddwlsn and @kahlea_x. Thank you for holding me down and helping to make this issue and the party so doggone good! Photos shot by @ralstonrsmith

Honeybees 🐝, My heart is really full. 💛 Over the past few months, I’ve been serving as the Creative Producer and Social Media Manager for @helgathefilm, the newest short film by the incredible @bridgett_d. During one of our conversations, Bridgett shared that she wanted to contribute more stories about the interior worlds of Black women. The softness. The complexity. The quiet parts of our lives that deserve to be seen. I remember thinking… That’s exactly why I make films, too. But beyond the work itself, what I’ll carry with me is the way she led. She created a space filled with generosity, care, and people who genuinely wanted to see one another succeed. So many people kept saying, “This is so rare.” But I left believing something different. Maybe this is the beginning of something that no longer has to be. May we keep making beautiful work. May we keep choosing each other. And may we never stop believing there’s room for all of us. 🫂 Thank you, Bridgett, for trusting me with Helga. What a joy it was to be part of this journey! XOXO, 🐝🥺🫶🏾

A.D. Kennedy (DriftLxrd™) bridges the gap between raw street-level emotion & refined, high-end luxury abstraction. His "DuBois Tengu" pieces masterfully fuses ancient Japanese mythology with the Black American narrative, recontextualizing historical & cultural identity into striking mixed-media works. The "DuBois Tengu" imagery is a bold exploration of kinetic energy, duality, & historical consciousness. By pairing the traditional Japanese Tengu mask (a symbol of protection & mountain spirits) with the foundational sociological concepts of W.E.B. DuBois, Kennedy crafts a visual metaphor for layered identity. These contemporary ink, marker, & mixed-media compositions challenge the viewer to look past the surface and examine the complex duality of the modern lived experience. Through dynamic linework & vibrant, contrasting aesthetics, DriftLxrd transforms mythological artifacts into powerful modern emblems. The work pushes past conventional portraiture, serving as both a tribute to structural history & an intimate reflection of cultural survival & resilience. • • • 🎨: "DuBois Tengu (no.1) A.D. Kennedy - DriftLxrd™ 16in × 24in Acrylic, Oil, Posca, Ink Tribe Red Eye® ©2024 #Art #Abstract #Surrealism #ModernArt #BlackArt

It is with great pleasure we welcome curator Darlene Deloris to the DuYe House in a celebration of the brilliance and resilience of Brothers. The men carrying the torch of the movement ... "I Am a Man" is a historic slogan used by Black sanitation workers in the 1968 Memphis, Tennessee strike to demand dignity, respect, and civil rights. Signs featuring this declaration, represented a refusal to be overlooked, stemming from the broader fight against inequality. Black men today continue to carry this weight imposed on them by society, while existing with dignity and a silent vulnerability. Join us for the Opening Reception tomorrow: Saturday July 11th, 2026 12p- 5p Panel Discussion 1p-3p Panel Moderator: Rob Fields @robfields Featured Poet: David Glover @sirdavidlawrenceglover Curator: Darlene Deloris @love.lenalove Featured Artists: EuGene V Byrd III @eugenebyrdart Spencer Charles @spencer_charles David K Dixon @dkdixondesigns Daniel Gilstrap @myownsundays Fidelis Izekor @fidelis_100 Lewis Jackson @paint_by_lew Watson Mere @artofmere_ Dario Mohr @dariomohr_art Byron Smith @lupoblack24 Rim The Artist @rim_the artist Khari Turner @khari.raheem Lou Valentine @forde2tough Lord Yatta @lordyattaarte Wine Sponsor: Ofori Brothers Website: oforibrothers.com Instagram: @oforibrotherswine
