Video 🎬 @specialoperationsnyc
A few nights ago, canvas bled into sound and the city pulsed back.
@ftk.studio ‘s transformed the Living Room into a gallery, with @simonesilva.arte setting the tone through her striking work. As canvas gave way to sound, multidisciplinary artist Matthew Jamal @sunday.applepie carried the room from cello to guitar in transitions that felt almost divine — before the night slipped fully into rhythm with @niarasterling closing on the decks.
Thank you to everyone who showed up!
Stay tuned for the video.
POWERFUL CHANGE STARTS WHEN COMMUNITIES LEAD THEIR OWN TRANSFORMATION. ✊🏾💛
JULIO has been an incredible leader with Freedom Through Knowledge, doing this NON-PROFIT WORK ON THE GROUND SINCE 2013. We’re honored to share his words straight from Morro do Papagaio a historic comunidade in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, a place that holds both deep challenges and unstoppable potential.
From CREATING spaces for learning and cultural expression, to supporting families and nurturing youth leadership, Julio and our team have spent over a DECADE WALKING WITH THE COMMUNITY.
And now, with the LAUNCH OF FTK STUDIO, that legacy continues connecting artists, partners, and resources, to SUSTAIN AND GROW THE IMPACT BORN HERE.
