I recently was asked to photograph an art exhibition cocurated by one of my besties.
The exhibition was called UNKNOWN and was incredibly inspiring. All the art on show was created by folks in recovery through a series of classes that culminated in this beautiful display of creativity, openness, new beginnings, closure, and compassion. Everything from photography, sculpture, fashion, food, video, and huge puppets was included (even interactive donuts!!)!
My sis
@bombazeen was the dj, and my dear heart Vinnie (
@dharmahawk ) was curator/master of ceremonies/ hostess with the mostest. It felt so warm and so exciting. Just getting to be at an art show where everyone wasn't sloshed on free wine felt like a first kiss. Congrats to everyone on your beautiful art and on your badass sobriety!
And yes, I was asked, and I will be teaching a portrait photography class for the next round. Cause what are we here for, if not to make the world a better place and to help others see the magic inside them?
