Artist Derrick Adams on hip-hop and relaxing while Black | Flowstate /North Brooklyn Artists

Host Ralf Jean-Pierre explores Bed-Stuy to find artist Derrick Adams in his studio for a behind the scenes look at his series “Floaters." They discuss working in a residential neighborhood, hip-hop, and how relaxation can be a radically political act for Black people.

The new ALL ARTS short documentary film series "Flowstate /North Brooklyn Artists" explores what it means to be an artist in the northern Brooklyn neighborhoods of Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bushwick during summer 2020. Series hosts Ralf Jean-Pierre and Sophia Kayafas visit 16 artists in their homes and studios, looking at their gritty, inner worlds, and engaging in sincere conversations with a range of emerging, mid-career and established artists from diverse backgrounds.
