UPTOWNflavor

Looking for something to do tonight? Why not take a little trip down memory lane? Photog Jamel Shabazz will be at the Bronx Museum tonight. I saw this exhibit a couple of years ago at the Rush Corridor Simmons Gallery (Russell’s big brother) in Brooklyn and started having serious flashbacks of a bygone era. Details are below.

Jamel Shabazz takes his books to the Bronx Museum tonight, for a signing to coincide with his photography exhibit. “Back in the Days,” “A Time Before Crack” and “Seconds of My Life” all documenting New York’s street culture in the 1980s; though Shabazz says “that his images are not only a document of street culture, but that they actually represent a kind of social activism inspiring youth through unique portrayals of their peers and neighborhoods.”
