To My Beloved Artisans & Friends-Thank You! Felicia V. Bland
“I'd actually say that your ideas come from the art collective, those artists that you've always been interested in and figuring out what they would do in those situations. That's what an artist is anyway. He's just a single member of a collective, the whole generation that went before.” – Sam Gilliam

“No Hoodies Allowed”
2022 Art Project Called URBAN Art Deco Series 1.1-1.20
Have you ever been to an event & they place on the advertisement “No Hoodies”, “No Sneakers” etc… I wonder why??? People have associated a level of class or crimes with hoodies. As if you magically, put on a hoodie, you are going to cause trouble in society or maybe start a fight at the establishment. Maybe, you look suspicious or that you are up to something, with a hoodie. Perhaps, you automatically become the superhero called “Hood Bandit”, when you put on a hoodie; where, you rob from the rich & give to the poor. Why are we so vulnerable, to propaganda from the powers that be, when it comes to so many things, such as clothing? There are too many false narratives, when it comes to clothing & we as society become, so easily deceived.
Since all narratives are made up. It could be that, when you put on a hoodie, you magically become a millionaire, billionaire or zillionaire. With a hoodie on, you fly around the world, heal the sick & give to the poor. For all one knows, you are the “Prosperous Hood Bandit”, where you make everything in other people’s life better, including yours.
Let’s think about these narratives & where do they come from.
Sincerely,
Felicia V. Bland
Hood Bandit Officielle 😀💛
