Joerael Numina x Mobilize Walls

In the current political climate, the back and forth banter and negative connotations that come with so much of the news, whether it is “real” or “fake” (who really knows!?), can be downright exhausting. It is most refreshing to come across feel-good stories, outlets that promote good Samaritans doing the “right” thing, and stories where people are uniting and coming together to help one another - and for no underlying reasons except to just make the world a better place. Joerael Numina is one of those people.

A Texas born and based artist, Joerael is the founder of the Mobilize Walls, a series of murals that have, simply put, “out sm(art)ed and out scaled” President Trump’s proposed wall. The concept is quite the exact opposite of “The Wall” we have all come to know, as it is a tool for uniting rather than a means of separating.

Mr. Numina  grew up defying society, whether it be on a skateboard (which is political in itself) or through graffiti writing and his other artistic outlets. He is no stranger to pushing the boundaries. In a self-proclaimed "Texas Fashion," his art is blunt but kind, embodies a sense of humanity while still addressing serious matter. He questions the fibers of communities in which he displays his works, while inviting the community to get involved and do the same, to challenge and provide critical thinking and create awareness that goes beyond any "walls" that physically exist.

Numina cites drawing has his favorite form of expressing himself. While it is on the other end of the spectrum from mural painting, drawing is not done for the public, require precision and is between the artist and his paper. His murals and specifically this incredible project are on a much different scale both figuratively and literally. It's not something an art collector could collect, it is erected in    order to become the fabric of the place it is made and serves as a public experience that can't be hoarded by one person. It can start a conversation, whether it be from the artist to the world or to two neighbors that have never met that have decided to venture outside to explore this new fabric of their society. A wall that is far from "a wall," Joerael's Mobilize Walls are structures that prove to create a bridge to connect all those around it.

July has not ended yet and already there is a lot of talk about back to school! Wow how the time does fly. We like to say that June is like a Friday, July is like a Saturday and August is like a Sunday.

Right now, we are at “Saturday Night,” Sunday is upon us and back to school season is on our minds. Back to school evokes a lot of emotions. Sadness for summer’s end, but also some excitement. It always meant time for a new wardrobe and for autumn dressing to come back into style. With the fall season also comes a slew of important events! For New York City, the first week of September (September being like that first Monday back at school!) is New York Fashion Week! There are so many events packed into that time. Everyone is back from their summer holidays, the Hamptons, Europe, etc. The September issues are fresh on the shelves at the magazine stores and everyone is happy to see each other again.

Beyond the New York City community, all of the “back - to - schoolers” are excited for Homecoming, which happens this upcoming season too. It is a time to rekindle the relationships with those who have moved on and celebrate with the ones still with you in the community.

Dressing for homecoming is very important, seemingly just as important as the event itself. It is the time to show your new and improved self and style. To show what you learned from the outside, to come back a grown person, and show how that is reflected in your style. There are many great websites to shop when it comes to getting yourself dressed for any Homecoming events. One is 27 Dresses. It is a great one - stop - shop for all things fashion and a perfect boutique for Homecoming threads! With a vast variety to choose from you can choose your most sexiest look for Homecoming or opt for  wholesome homecoming dresses!

The Bikes of Wrath

Having just celebrated the 4th of July, which is a holiday rooted in American history, it proves perfect timing in  regards to reviewing the documentary The Bikes of Wrath.  The film, which follows the path of the classic Steinbeck novel "The Grapes of Wrath,"celebrates the 80th anniversary of the book, while simultaneously explores the history of the Dust Bowl. An adventure which follows (ironically) a group of Australians on a quest to explore the same migration route that left a mark in    American history. Interesting and revealing of true humility and humanity, the film is both educational and feel-good. It is a testament to spirit and camaraderie of mankind.
