We are artists who care about the arts. We are artists preparing for the future. The Lotus Lab is an extension of our artistic movement to blur lines of division and encourage free thought and expression. Art is fluid and so are the messages we promote. Our blog, gallery knowhere, is a Chicago based non-profit constructed to elevate the creative energy of at risk youth through event exposure (www.galleryknowhere.wordpress.com) work shops, and artistic opportunities. Aubrey Modium (photographer, thinker and lover of all things music) alongside DJ SAKIR (fashionista, designer, writer and BK representative) are your guides through these podcasts. Look forward to hearing more from the crew and don't forget to support. Spread the word! This movement is international.
