I needed (especially after the newsfeed of the last 24 hours with debate despair and Supreme Injustices doing their damage to the world) a reminder of the awesome activist friends I get to do important community care and service with as members of @gaysagainstgunsny - photos from before our annual Pulse action and vigil. Though the work is so important and serious, the gun violence staggering and unrelenting, these loving, lovely people make the world better, and there’s joy and artful creativity shared, too. 🧿🙏🌈🪩❤️⭐️👏 ~ Sylvan #gaysagainstguns #queeractivism #maketheworldabetterplace #communitycare #antigunviolence #honorthemwithaction @gaysagainstgunsny

I’m ready for Pride weekend! At @madmuseum for the last session of my “Fashioning Pride and Protection” workshop offering tonight and always glad to be greeted by the “Identity Is…” installation of the dazzling 2021 Met Gala garment I designed for the fashion icon @jordan_roth . Now extended till Aug. 4th, MAD’s gorgeous installation includes lobby wall and elevators wallpapered with large scale details from my textile collage work for the garment - always makes me so happy looking at the giant views of the elaborate handwork. 🌈🪩🪡🧵🦚 ❤️⭐️👏~ Sylvan #michaelsylvanrobinson #jordanroth #metgala2021 #madmuseum #voguemagazine #wearableart #contemporaryfiberart #fashionart #queerdreaming #embroidery #textilecollage #artfashion #queerartist #brooklynartist #arthistory #artandgender #urbanfey
