Aakash Nihalani talked about his fresh approach to street art in his apartment in Williamsburg. Then, he showed how he works to the streets of NY.

The meeting with the member of MNDR took place in a small studio in Brooklyn, where she was recording her debut album. In the evening she gave a concert in one of the hippest club in town and then she took the “tour” of New York night.

Leyla and Ben of HeartsChallenger, spoke while working on their new project: a small ice cream truck completely covered with crystals. The discussion moved to their apartment and then across the sunny Williamsburg Bridge.
