Flowstate/North Brooklyn Artists - Season 1 (2021)

Ralf enters Coby Kennedy's futuristic worlds to discover kevlar-mounted sci-fi demons, and then travels back in time to Jilly Ballistic's street art of WWI gas-masks and government imagery. Both artists question our current politics and social control.

Sophia visits Naomi Okubo, whose work explores patterns, fashion and individualism. Ralf talks to Joey Parlett, whose ink drawings are created in a disciplined time structure. Both artists prepare to leave Brooklyn, setting off for new beginnings.

Sophia visits Carlos Vela-Prado, a conceptual artist who removes himself from the execution of his art, giving agency to the idea rather than the artist's hand. Ralf talks to Amber Hany who recreates her Bushwick neighborhood in miniature dioramas.

Artist B.D. White gilds a disconnected, floating astronaut out of gold leaf while Ralf discusses his street art beginnings. Sophia visits Sophia Wallace, an artist whose 'Cliteracy' project seeks to change the way we think about female pleasure.

In the season finale of Flowstate /North Brooklyn Artists, Lisa Corinne Davis discusses art, identity and motherhood with Sophia, while Ralf meets Derrick Adams in his Bed-Stuy studio, and whose new paintings examine how relaxation can be radically political.
