How do you want to be remembered?
“I think we tend to simplify people in death, even more so than in life, and in that way we fail to truly honor them. I want to be remembered with love and with honesty. I do not want the oceans of time to wash away my complexities.” - Daja Taylor
“I'd like to be remembered as an artist who took risks with my art, challenged myself with every piece and made an effort to truthfully and accurately depict the times in which we live.” - Hasan Muhammed
Hasan aka HAAWWS is also a multi-disciplinary conceptual recording artist from Roxbury with a recently released experimental album called NSFW.™
What is your favorite thing about Boston?
“The architecture of churches and the public library.” - Tra Ha
”The variety of people that one can meet and interact with on a daily basis.” - Caio Cassarino
