Thank you @justsmilemagazine for allowing me to take over the art spread in Issue 3! Last summer, I asked Daria Simone Harper @dariasimoneharper to think through a series of pairings with me. We thought about how unique artistic practices belonging to perceived disparate mediums and disciplines might actually ring at a beautiful frequency in conversation together, particularly when provoked with a distinct set of questions. Utilizing Just Smile’s art spread we explored the overlap in the practices of a chef & an architect as well as a filmmaker & saxophonist. 1: Nathanael Cox & Dominique Petit Frere written by Diallo Simon-Ponte @n8.cox put together a narrative diasporic recipe and @dominiquepetit_ of Limbo Accra along with Annelise Agossa thought about the socio historical relationship of the ingredients and wove pulled aesthetics into the architectural designs of a restaurant meant to house the dish.

Inspired by the scene in Birth of The Cool where Miles Davis scores an entire film in one take. Reach out to me for the article pdf !!
