Yesterday we celebrated Juneteenth  with @blackboyartshow and our super friends as @powerhauscreative organized 19 of Atlanta’s finest creators to take over the historic Flatiron City building in Downtown Atlanta. We transformed the building into an outdoor gallery exhibition of unapologetic black expression.  This exhibition will be up until Monday, June 22nd. • Participating Artists: @seanfahie @zipporahjoel @shanequagay @phyllis.iller @truththecreative @cfluxsing @charlypalmer @freakorico @cbrooksart @fahamupecou @sachirome @dlwarfield @vekking @chillyolovesyou @blackmensmile @emefgriffin @liberated.space @ellexswavoni @tokiestudio Lunch for artists provided by @localgreenatlanta and @alternateroots #blackmensmile #blackjoy #blackjoyisrevolutionary #blackartists #JuneteenthTakeover https://www.instagram.com/p/CBqK7ycA5Xc/?igshid=1mfe6bwnpnre8

So @powerhauscreative had the brilliant idea of getting all 19 of the juneteenth takeover artist to have their photos done by the very dope photographer @stevewestphoto @stevewest Suffice it to say, I now have my new tinder profile shots lol. (But I'm not on tinder, you can just find me on these streets if necessary. 😆😆) The last one will be my new christmas card for this year Also shout out to @blackmensmile #atlanta #art #photography #juneteenthtakeover #artist (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB-pCCbJVxI/?igshid=1cikoxlnxrtgk

#Repost @phyllis.iller with @get_repost ・・・ Yesterday was a good MF day! Slides 1 & 2: Carlton Mackey (@carltonmackey) and I sat down with Virginia Prescott (@verginger) of On Second Thought, a radio program on @gpbmedia, to speak about how our art is an act of rebellion. Speaking honestly, my frustration, rage, and WTF! boiled over while recording. Carlton shed some tears. Virginia had an open mind. I *think* we were supposed to talk more about what books and films and media we were ingesting, but....that decidedly did not happen. We had an open forum to discuss what was truly on our minds. Peep the link in my bio to listen in. ✨ ________ Slides 3 - 6 The #JuneteenthTakeover was A SMASH, as we knew it would be. Ash Nash of Powerhaus Creative (@powerhauscreative ) and C4 (@c4atlanta) did their mother 👏🏾fuckin 👏🏾 thang 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾!! They coordinated it, supplied us, fed us, *and* had the budget to pay us! How blessed are we as artists to have folks like this in our corner? The work is going to be up @theflatironbuilding until Monday or so. Go take a drive! PS: due to some printing difficulties, my homie Jermaine holding baby Selah wasn’t the selected image! Instead, that honor went to his wife Crystal! 🤱🏾✨ #PhyllisIller #IllyPhilly #GPB #GeorgiaPublicBroadcasting #C4Atlanta #PowerhausCreative #CarltonMackey #BlackIsBeautiful #BlackIsBeautifulBecauseItFeelsSoGood (at Flatiron Building) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBqVfK4B8dP/?igshid=1hq0e9bt3cw3l
