The Laidback family trekked out to BK this Saturday for the Brooklyn Museums first Saturday events. For those of you who don't know, the Brooklyn Museum hosts a ton of events and all on the First Saturday of the month. It is a great time to chill with the fam and take in some culture, meet new people, learn something, you name it. It is free from 5-11. Well this past Saturday they screened the Hip Hop Project. The Hip Hop Project is a documentary based on the Art Start school that led Kasi to start the project that would later lead to an album that helped build teens confidence through hip hop. It basically chronicles the lives of a group of young people trying to cope with difficult situations by using hip hop and writing as their medicine of choice. It is a definite must see, especially for those of us immersed and brought up within the hip hop generation. It has definitely been a healing agent for many, and the movie offers some triumphs and unanswered questions. In any event the cast performed and answered questions after the movie. It was great.
The other exhibits..The Brazilian capeoira performers at the other exhibit were cool and the Egyptian exhibit was fire as well. While discussing the pyramids and Egypt and mathematics and the derivation of the sciences and the contribution that the genius Egyptians have contributed, someone reflected on the fact that in pretty much all of the Egyptian statues the noses are broken, could it really be to blind the masses that true genius came from the wide-nose people? Well that's just food for thought..
Laidback finds inspiration in everything, hopefully next month we'll be inspired by you.
