Check out the piece we've selected for the art talk before our performance at the Smithsonian on April 9th at 5:30. "The Death of Cleopatra" Edmonia Lewis. What strikes us most about this piece is not just the depiction of the death of Ancient Egypt's last active pharaoh, but also the story of the artist Edmonia Lewis. We like how she took the neoclassical style of sculpture and made it in to own by depicting the plight of Black and Native American people in her work. We try to do that with our music as well by incorporating various styles into our own sound. #blackart
