I visited this beautiful called ‘Salle D’exposition’ in Thiès for the second time yesterday. There were so many beautiful pieces that were made into Tapestry by students at the school! We couldn’t take photos of the artwork but got to see the tedious process that sometimes take as long as 6 months...

Each painting is coded with its own pieces of yarn with matching colors. It’s great seeing this type of craftsmanship and intention with artists and galleries outside the big citizens in Senegal.

“Thanksgiving is about trying to come to terms with this very difficult truth about the United States,” according to the National Museum of the American Indian’s curator Paul Chaat Smith (Comanche). “The country is a national project that came about to great expense to Native people...but Native people and African Slavery, those two things together, are huge challenges to how you process this...We like that story of the meal at Plymouth that happened a long, long time ago.”
Today we honor Native People of the Americas. And understand that it mirrors the experience of indigenous people everywhere. And we’d also like to wish you a day of communication, community and connection as well. LET US KNOW in the comments what you are doing today. .

A few weeks ago an older gentleman was telling me about hearing drumming in NYC Parks and how it was some of the best music he’s ever heard in his life. I was thinking in my head ‘yeah... tell me about it’. His words felt so authentic.
It made me realize how much more we have in common with each other than we think. Music and Art has the power to bring people together. If you’ve got it in you share it.
