So EXTREMELY pleased about Lillian being invited to produce this years poster for The Bayou Boogaloo! WE LOVE TO SEE IT 🐊✨🎨🎶
Here is her statement about this awesome design 👇
"Beneath the Surface: Bayou Boogaloo" depicts characters celebrating the transformative power of music and art on Bayouk Choupic, also known as Bayou St. John.
The energy emanating from the trombone player pours into the bayou waters, flowing throughout the creatures and plants before returning to the atmosphere. As this energy passes through each character, it evolves into something new, symbolizing how art and music can uplift, transform, and unite individuals from diverse backgrounds. This highlights the significance of music and art in New Orleans' culture.
The trombone player draws inspiration from New Orleans Musician and Educator, Ashley Shabankareh (Marina Orchestra), while the plants and animals featured are native to Louisiana waters. Alongside references to Bayou St. John's history and culture, such as the music tree and vèvè on the sunken vehicle, there are also hidden symbols representing the Wu-Tang Clan. Can you spot them?
In addition to the title “Beneath the Surface” being a nod to GZA, many of the characters are lovingly named after Wu members: AlliGZA, Method Bassman, Old Dirty Crawfish, Naekwon the Nutria, Inspectah Toad, Rza the Razor Moccasin, Pelladonna, and Lotusface Killah."
See you in the Bayou in Mid-May!
