HU Exclusive: Giving You The Keys To The Museum of Broken Windows In NYC

HU Exclusive: Giving You The Keys To The Museum of Broken Windows In NYC

On Sunday, August 30, Hollywood Unlocked got to take a look inside The Museum of Broken Windows; a pop-up experience in New York City featuring powerful work of artists from around the country.

Now, this wasn’t just your ordinary exhibit. The Museum showcased the “ineffectiveness of broken windows policing, which criminalizes our most vulnerable communities.”

Speaking with Daveen Trentman, executing producer of the museum, she explained how broken windows is a policing strategy that was popularized in a 1982 Atlantic article which claimed that by cracking down on minor offenses like selling loose cigarettes or jumping a subway turnstile, cops could protect communities from more serious and violent crimes.

This method resulted in police harassing, criminalizing, and brutalizing communities of color and less unfortunate people in general. Trentman went on to say that it’s unfair and needs to end now.

She also explained how important it was to get the message across through art.

“Art just reaches people in a way that other things can’t,” Miller said. “This exhibit will make people uncomfortable, and that’s the purpose, It’s an uncomfortable truth.”

Trentman was right. The art was not only powerful and moving but the message was loud and clear through each piece.

Along the walls, self-portraits painted on top of all the paper documents the one artist received during his incarceration, and framed newspapers announcing the deaths of African Americans at the hands of NYPD. An artist named Jeff Gibe created a series of Metrocard art, which depicts actual scenes he has witnessed in subway stations as a result of “Stop and Frisk” policy.

Another artist hung over 1,000 toe tags from the ceiling with the names of people who were killed by the police in 2016. There were plenty of other pieces that definitely spoke volumes.

Trentman also shared the big message she wants everyone, including New York Mayor Bill de Blasio to get from this pop-up museum.

“Mayor De Blasio who ran his campaign by promising police reform has done a lot to get stop-and-frisk numbers down. But what he hasn’t done is end broken windows, and we want to be the leaders to end national criminal justice reform, and it would have to absolutely stop by ending broken windows.

Hollywood Unlocked UNCENSORED: Jason Lee Diagnoses Nicki Minaj With, “Jealousy, Fear And Desperation”

May 30, 2019August 20, 2018 by Alyssa Lee

This week on Hollywood Unlocked UNCENSORED Jason Lee, Giovanni, and our managing editor Jeroslyn Johnson take on trending hot topics.

Nicki Minaj and Safaree sent social media into a storm this week with their Twitter beef. The back and forth tweeting soon escalated to the topic of Safaree’s fake hairline, that Nicki claims she bought.

Jason says he loves Nicki and that “Queen” is a great album, but, he can’t listen to it straight through like Cardi B’s album. However, Jason adds there is so much “sneak dissing” in Nicki’s album that it downplays the greatness. Not to mention an artist claims that Nicki stole her music for her song “Barbie Dreams.”

Our hosts believe that Nicki should embrace women uniting and do a song with Cardi to shut down all the beef and involve all the other upcoming female rappers, but, it will not happen until Nicki humbles herself.

We had exclusive access to never-before seen moments as the contestants rehearsed for their big moments, with a chance to witness first hand each individuals’ talents.

As we sat down with Laurieann and Mario, the legendary duo gave us the scoop on what it takes to be a star. The components of a star may involve talent but it is the hard work and dedication that will get you there. Mario added that you need to “Stay focused on your craft, perfect your gift,” and Laurieann shared a similar perspective.

“For me it’s different, they call me the star-maker, you never know until it shows out”, adds Laurieann. “I always say there will never be another Michael, another Chris Brown, but, there will be in a different form. The component of how to sustain a star, the ability to have good work-ethic, you have to understand how to perfect a natural gift and humility that comes with the responsibility of being a star, and they have to be a little cuckoo!”

The musical pair go on to explain the ins and outs of becoming a star and an artists development, while what it is like to work with new artists who are trying to break into the industry.
