🎨🎶🎙#ArtIsAWeapon #IfItWasntForTheBronx Bronx-born #marketing and #creative #entrepreneur @iam_setfree Free Richardson and #emcee/#actor #YasiinBey (#MosDef) launch a new art gallery @thecompound_ in my Boogie Down neighborhood. www.thecmpd.com ____________________ Via 📰 @nytimes: In the Cradle of Hip-Hop, a South Bronx Gallery Bridges a Gap. Excerpts: With it, Mr. Richardson aims to correct what he perceives as certain imbalances in the gallery system. His goal is to present artists from marginalized backgrounds and highlight mediums given short shrift by blue chip galleries. He also hopes to restore context to art forms he sees as having been exploited, like graffiti. “I feel like what I’m doing is different from the standard gallery format,” he said. “No galleries, to me, have accepted hip-hop to be a part of their DNA.” _______ "The purpose of the gallery is to say all art is equal,” Mr. Richardson said. “But we are in the borough that created hip-hop, which is the biggest art form in the world, so it’s always an extending arm. It’s always present.” ___________________ Read the full article: https://nyti.ms/2OAACC8 📷 by Devin Yalkin for The New York Times ____________________ The current exhibit "I Got a Gallery.

Santa Fe’s Alexander Girard designed restaurant, The Compound, located in the Canyon Road Arts District, was once a cluster of adobe homes known as the McComb Compound. Today this James Beard Award winning restaurant continues to be a landmark destination for fine dining. #santafe #instafood #santafenewmexico #thecompound #thecompoundrestaurant #restaurant (at The Compound Restaurant, Santa Fe) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7UK1XnJkEs/?igshid=oitrqm45toaj

The Compound by Aisling Rawle

✶ PRE-READING ✶

Intrigued by the reality TV dystopia vibe and Lord of the Flies meets Love Island comparison. Expected social critique and darkness.

✶ POST-READING ✶

As I thought... Slow start but strong momentum once underway. Sharp commentary on surveillance and performative relationships. Reality show satire hits hard—Big Brother fans will appreciate.

It surprised me by... Diving deeper into dystopia than expected. The sex-based disqualification rule was uncomfortable but effective, underlining control and survival’s twisted dance.

✦ RECOMMENDATIONS ✦

Book: The Grace Year by Kim Liggett — feminist survival and ritual with haunting isolation

TV/Movie: The One (Netflix) & The Circle — if Black Mirror and reality dating shows had a nightmarish baby

✧ VIBE CHECK ✧

Colour Palette: sun-bleached beige, neon pink, CCTV grey

Soundtrack: synthetic pop + static and ominous strings

Season: high summer — relentless heat, rising tension

Mood: glossy, anxious, claustrophobic

Scent: sunscreen, sweat, chemical tang

★ TAROT PULL ★

The Devil – Tarot of the Divine

Entrapment is everywhere here — literal and psychological. The contestants are baited with freedom but chained by rules designed to twist desire and enforce conformity. Like The Devil card, the story asks: how complicit are we when the chains are made of choice?
