He played a leading role in recognizing that certain American vine stocks could resist the Phylloxera aphid, a tiny sap-sucking insect that had come to threaten European vineyards (see figure 11.5). The insect is native to North America, and the importation of American vines in the 1850s or early 1860s inadvertently carried the pest to Europe.

"Color of Reality" by Alexa Meade | Jon Boogz | Lil Buck

Alexa Meade Art uses her trademark technique to depict "frustrations with the increasing violence that is haunting American society today."  Transfixed by racial, political, and socioeconomic tensions saturating the news, movement artists Jon Boogz and Lil Buck, enveloped by the art of Alexa Meade, switch off the TV and release their emotion into a stirring dance that is both a lament and a spirited call to action. Movement artists Jon Boogz and Lil Buck, who use dance to move people and improve the world, find alchemy with Meade’s perspective-changing art. The result is a powerful, mesmerizing reflection, a moving 2D art representation, of the state of today’s society.

Color of Reality is written, directed, and choreographed by Jon Boogz. Movement artists - Jon Boogz and Charles Riley aka Lil Buck.
