DxiiS ANNIVERSARY: 2022
FRIDAY, MAY 27TH | FRESH2DEATH | THE MINT MUSEUM (UPTOWN)
Via URBAN DICTIONARY, ‘FRESH TO DEATH' is a term used to describe something that is so good, it’s inexplicable.
If you’re looking ‘fresh to death,’ then you’re looking fly!
Girl: Yo, you lookin’ good tonight!
Me: I know I’m lookin’ fresh to death!
“If y’all fresh to death, then I’m deceased.” (Kanye West)
Created by siblings, Davita and Dion Galloway, ‘FRESH2DEATH (F2D),’ is a collaboration with many artists, designers and expressionists—think curated exhibit meets selfie museum meets block party! With the goal of celebrating, highlighting and informing the importance of Black contribution to mainstream and beyond, F2D is dope, groovy and hella live! With this installation, be prepared to take a trip down memory lane and revel in the greatness, in the innovation, in the enormity of ‘us!’
“I woke up in the morning feeling fresh to death, I’m so blessed. Yes, yes!” (Jill Scott)
