Afro Punk or Whats Left of it /  by Daniel Randall

In the midst of all the changes of our beloved festival the spirit was still alive bringing melanin folk to one safe space to share energy and music like no other. I marvel at the black experience we find so many possibilities in just a greeting like “okkk I see youuu” from random passerby’s. Moments like this ground us in our journey of expression.

Just as the sun made its arrangements to depart us I saw Dami — sultry, bright eyed and full of everything Afro Punk meant to me since 2012. These mome

I seem to colide with radiant souls like these almost daily, and the pleasure is alway mine. This day was no different we like all people our age meet these days.. Instagram.

"I Find It Hard To Say" a Photo Series for the Peerspace Exhibit /  by Daniel Randall

I Find It Hard To Say- is a visceral ode to self-growth & selfcare. All too often the world has its way of sullying our will to keep keeping on. I find myself swallowing my words.. out of; well to be honest fear. This story isn't new you've heard this before! This time its from someone just like you. I've lived with a family thats nourished  this idea that feelings are best keep concealed. That belief has had me fighting my entire life; most times when i didn't need to (Ps. I'm going on a whim that any of this makes sense to you). All in all thinking about these road blocks after has help me to grow just that much. I Find It Hard To Say is a visual reminder of this, so from where i am to wherever you are.. Enjoy!

Ps. Shoutout the DreamTeam involved! 

ragazzi dell'estate /  by Daniel Randall

Im truly humbled for the experiences I've encountered this summer. I got the chance to travel out to Italy for a small collaboration project w/ Christian Loubouton. Being blessed with beauty from Naples and Capri truly was like no other. Everything from the culture, food, and landscape warmed my heart. Admittedly so the task of digesting all of this was quite daunting but I loved the journey. Heres a bit of what we were up to below.

Welcome the boys of summer! "Les Napolitains" is a celebration of masculine style that captures the unpretentious joy, warmth, light and energy of a Neapolitan summer.
