Guerrilla FC Pop Up & Gallery Show
I’m pleased to announce I will be showing a select batch of photos at Guerrilla FC’s new pop-up and art installation in Washington DC from June 18-July 12. There will also be some exclusive MageesCamera merch and art prints available to purchase. Additionally, we will be debuting a concept-kit collaboration I coordinated together with Nomadic Wax, Guerrilla FC, and South African hip hop and b-boy non-profit Heal the Hood.
The Event
On June 28, venture into The Mind of Guerrilla - a two-week pop-up/exhibition at Homme DC curated by Guerrilla FC. Inside is a sensory exploration of the eclectic components of a culture that drives and inspires this diverse community of creatives.
On display will be two art installations, two photography installations, and a video/audio installation. New, never before seen, Guerrilla FC gear will also be available, including a collaboration with South African, breakdance collective Heal the Hood and underground, hip hop production company Nomadic Wax.
In communion with the pop-up and exhibit, Guerrilla FC has curated two live events during this period. On June 29, there will be a panel discussion on football culture and this summer’s World Cup. On July 12, Guerrilla FC and Homme DC welcome the Shirtless Plantain Show to perform a live show.
