The 15 Project By ‘Fahamu Pecou’ at the ‘High Museum Of Art’ (Video)

Fahamu Pecou is an Artist, Scholar, Father, oh and he is also known as THE SHIT!  He recently had another edition of his Artist Live Talk Show The 15Project (Andy Warhol was famously quoted as saying “…in the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.”) The 15 Project facilitates that claim as an irreverent fusion of pop culture, fine art, sketch comedy, musical entertainment and much more.  The show was co hosted by Fabian Williams with DJ Kemit on the 1’s & 2’s and this went down at the renown High Museum.

The first guest was Dr. Arturo Lindsey professor of Art & Art History at Spelman University.  Dr. Lindsey is the former teacher of Fahamu and his current mentor.  He discusses what it was like dealing with a young Fahamu also how they connected with them both having Panamanian heritage.

The next guest was Michael Shapiro the director of The High Museum.  Fahamu asked him about what it’s been like being the director of the largest Art Museum in the South East.  Mr. Shapiro explains that he has been the director since 1995 and loves the fact that the High has become known as an elite museum nationwide.  One of the highlights was Fahamu stating that introducing Michael Shapiro to rapper Killer Mike and Shapiro stated that he and Killer Mike are still friends to this day.

The last guest was Timothy Thomas one half of the production duo/group Rock City.  Timothy and his brother Theron have produced and wrote hits for Usher, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj and many many more.  Timothy talked about growing up as a young boy in the Virgin Islands and how he and his brother fell in love with music.  They moved to the United States in their late teens won some talent shows in Atlanta and never looked back.

The show ended with Fahamu doing an impromptu freestyle where he passes the mic to Timothy and he excites the crowd with a great freestyle off the top of the dome.  This was truly an eventful night make sure you keep your eyes open for the next 15Project and get your 15 minutes of fame!
