Been a long while coming for this collab with @goldheartedjewelry to finally happen and better off, intersect with a couple of projects.

- Maker's Lab part II: From MOLD to GOLD_ USING Photoshop and 3D CAD software. - "Grillz" have become commercially globalized phenomena; but as with most things, it started with an ANCESTOR 🫶🏿 - "The connection between African people and gold teeth spans thousands of years, moving from ancient West African royal status symbols to practical dental solutions during slavery, and finally evolving into the modern global fashion phenomenon of grillz. Far from a modern trend, body adornment and tooth modification have been central to African cultural identity for centuries." - This next Maker's Lab we go into a deep dive on the history and craftsmanship from then and now; behind the topic of gold teeth and innate ancestral meanings for indigenous black and brown people. - The craftsmanship still flows through black and brown hands in modern day. This Maker's Lab will be limited on rsvps, #linkinbio❤️ #makerslabNYC #moldtogold #mediaarts
