Following the election of the 45th US President, every irksome, privileged (Facebook) friend has slithered out of the woodwork to remind us that some of the best art emerges out of intolerance and persecution: “At least the art is gonna be so good, man.” This is one of many displays of shortsighted and reductive, even silly, everything-is-going-to-be-okay reasoning.

February is upon us, and with it come halfhearted internship applications, daunting exam schedules and the quagmire that is Greek life recruitment. But outside the snobbish “bubble” of Adderall and tech startups that we call Homewood, February means education and celebration during Black History Month.

Rosary beads turned sex toy. Consumption of human entrails. Sexual assault perpetrated by a lobster. A bloodied murderer terrorizing Baltimore in a mink coat.

We will be attempting to watch his entire filmography (about 82 credited roles, according to Wikipedia) over the course of the year, updating readers when it feels appropriate. So, to kick things off, we watched The Return of Bruno (1987), a made-for-TV mockumentary about “legendary” musician Bruno Radolini (Willis), who has been unjustly left out of music history. The film aims to tell his forgotten story through a series of interviews with key figures from the music industry as well as clips of Bruno’s performances.

The Contemporary is one of Baltimore’s most unique arts institutions and perhaps its most innovative museum. It does not collect art, nor does it have a central location for displaying works. Instead, it is a nomadic museum, commissioning works to transform specific Baltimore spaces into nouveau-galleries.

How does one begin to describe Deep Sugar? It began over a decade ago, when artists and DJs from Maryland decided to give back to the Baltimore arts scene with a nightlife event that would recall such dance parties as those at Zanzibar in Washington, D.C. and Body and Soul in New York City. In Baltimore, The Paradox has been keeping the legacy alive with dance parties every second Saturday. They are known as Deep Sugar, and they have been a staple of the Baltimore club scene for years.

Thanks to the guidance of News-Letter Arts & Entertainment Editor Kinney, I got to the Crown at the perfect time last Tuesday night. It was fairly full but not too crowded for me to secure a spot directly in front of the stage. I thought it would be much more crowded considering the show was originally scheduled to be at U Street Music Hall in D.C. but was cancelled only four days before the scheduled date. The Crown jumped in to host the rappers now performing for half the price ($10 versus the original $20) at a venue with less than half the capacity.

The series functions to unite radical, revolutionary and socially engaged artists of various media, including writers, musicians and speakers. Friday’s installation featured Eddie Conway, a former Black Panther and previously imprisoned political organizer still active in Baltimore, along with poet, artist and educator Olu Butterfly. Poets, activists, Lady Brion from Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle, and socially engaged musician Bell’s Roar were also present.
