Welcome to episode 2 In this session we sat down and listened to a convo between multidisciplinary artists Pierre and Maachew Bentley. They touch on everything from photography and new creative endeavors, to travel and NFTs Maachew Bentley is an evolving creative birthed & raised in Queens, New York. His pursuits interweave photography, private curation, and music production into a hybrid of expressions on and offline. Having earned his stripes in the latter, from the festival circuit in Europe to the nightclubs of Southeast Asia, Maachew has developed one of the most pliable sets of his peers. Bringing breaks through UKG, drum n bass, house, reggae, and techno, he’s exercised BPM for every palate. In 2020, he launched the radio extension of Street Dreams Magazine as Music Director. Pierre is a photographer, filmmaker, cultural documentarian, and multimedia consultant based in New York City, whose vast roster of brand collaborations include Adidas, Converse, Nike, Coach, the US Open, and more. A native of Queens, New York, Pierre’s forte lies in capturing street scenes, cultural movements, intimate celebrity moments, as well as live sporting events. As a professional photographer, he’s often deemed as one of the premier contemporary chroniclers of New York City life.
The Series Shift is a weekly experience aiming to explore the realities of parallel creatives through emotive, intellectual dialogue, visual mediums, and analog soundscapes. This collection of conversations with the enigmas of our time, some of which have brought the novelty of high touch in their works across genres of expression, serves as the amateur’s scrapbook, the maturation thesis of our generation, and the Shift in perspective from what was once insular representation of the arts to a new diasporic guard.
Curated by Maachew Bentley + 35s & 45s.
