And in the midst of reading the headline news of the day, I made it to London! The United Kingdom. And I got photos, lots and lots, well a few, photos of that Black Lives Matter Art Show that went to London this past weekend, or at least part of it, or some version of it, or as much of it that could fit in a carry on bag on an airplane. And in all blogger honesty, I wanted to take one of those summer vacations somewhere on planet earth to sight see and London came to mind, and I thought why not attempt to make one of those Black Lives Matter Art Shows that have been in that New York City area while I am there in London also. And thank you Common House for accepting my booking inquiry to host this event at your space. The Common House is a collectively managed space for radical groups, projects and community events. And thank you Time Out London for listing this event as Things to Do to help get people to that art show at Common House. And the Facebook event invite that I created for this event read something like:

FREE And besides that "All Lives Matter" comment that is written everywhere on those banners, there were a few more "Your Thoughts on Black Lives Matter" thoughts that were written on those banners that were: 1. Peace 2. Words are very necessary! @ London 8/2019 3. Because it should not even be a question. #solidarity #humanright 4. Only by working together then will equality win. 3/8/19 - London 5. Love & compassion will win. Stay woke, be active and don't back down. #blacklivesmatter 3.8.19

And what else is there that I can say about Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Art or Black Lives Matter that has not already been said in Occupy Wall Street, Occupy Art or Black Lives Matter time except Black Lives Matter, Occupy Art, Occupy Wall Street Worldwide.
And it has been a while yet again, since I last signed in to this blog to post something about Occupy Wall Street or Black Lives Matter. And in the midst of another one of those climate change, global warming record breaking heatwaves that are taking place seemingly around the world these days, I
find myself typing that, in an attempt to take a vacation, Black Lives Matter Art Show, or at least part of it, or at least as much of it that can get on a plane, is going to London. And I am excited to present my first international art show in London at Common House, a collectively managed space for radical groups, projects and community events in East London. Now I don't really have any photos of this Black Lives Matter Art Show Goes To London event to post yet, because I haven't really made it there yet, though that facebook event invite that I created for this event reads something like as follows: Black Lives Matter | Carla Cubit of Occupy Art

And so it's been quite a while since since I have signed into this blog and this time I find myself signing in to post that another one of those Black Lives Matter Art Shows, or at least parts of it, went to Bushwick Open Studios 2018 or at least it went to the Essential Music and Art Show 2018 that was part of Bushwick Open Studios, annual event run by Arts in Bushwick, where visitors and locals can explore the studios and other art events that make our neighborhood great. And there was another attempt to display those "Your Thoughts on Black Lives Matter" banners and vend those DecorForU #blacklivesmatter, #notmypresident, #occupywallstreet, #berniesanders, #nopolicestate, #yoga, #music, #brooklyn, #bushwick & #iloveny necklaces, magnets, key chains and pins for $2 each at this event. And thanks Lizzie for that artists open call that gave me another opportunity to drag that artwork out of the closet and take it to 49 Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn to display in one of those many booths and rooms along with a lot of other artists for those few days of the Bushwick Open Studios tour, September 28th-30th. And a few more "Your Thoughts on Black Lives Matter" thoughts were written on those banners, and a few more thoughts were also written on those cloths that were hung on those I guess you can call them, clothesline banners as in those photos that find themselves posted above. And I was not able to make it to those seemingly a million other spaces on that Bushwick Open Studios 2018 guide map, though just walking down Wyckoff a few short blocks, one could see that Bushwick has come alive with that House of YES Block Party! and Uta and a bunch of artists and sidewalk vendors in between. And so that Essential Music and Art Show 2018 Facebook event invite reads something like as follows:
So, we are very glad to be hosting the Essential event grand finale at this massive art debauchery event at another amazing warehouse in Bushwick (The new Berlin).
From paintings, photos, metal sculptures, installations, tarot readers, etc... the art show will be free for all the patrons from 3pm to 8pm.
This year I will be helping curate the building so any interest should be sent ASAP to reserve a space to lizzbren@gmail.com.
If you care for art be there and do your part...... :)
