TOOFLY NYC

Warrior themed exhibition at Fresthetic last night was pretty dope! Those dark griddy days in NY are long gone now but all kinds of territory wars still go on today unfortunately. In honor of our generations cult classics artists rocked some magic on leather vests to represent their warrior love, warrior message, and warrior style. Shout out to Randy and fresthetic team for hooking up the exhibit, show casing the film, and opening their backyard for some end of summer fun. I’m so bummed I missed the fashion show! Had to support all our peeps doing positive things for the community last night.  Here’s to all the  gangs out there who spread love the warrior way. Can you digggggggg it!

“COME OUT TO PLAY” is an art show curated by Randy Quiles – co-founder of Fresthetic based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It is a tribute to The Warriors, the 1979 cult classic movie from Paramount Pictures. The iconic film serves as an unceremonious interpretation of the diverse collectives that make up Brooklyn and its surrounding boroughs. It is a reminder of the political, social, and economical adversity that each of the boroughs and the individuals within have faced. Brooklyn itself has seen many changes ranging from the gentrification of Williamsburg to the drastic reconstruction of Coney Island. For those that can remember, the Brooklyn we all knew and loved still continues to slip further away over the years no matter how closely we grip it to our chests. Very much like a Warrior we find ourselves stranded and forlorn amid the changes and adversity as we make every attempt to fight our way back to a Brooklyn we once knew…

“Love Warrior”

When life is victorious, there is birth; when it is thwarted, there is death. A warrior is always engaged in a life-and-death struggle for Peace.
– Morihei Ueshiba
