CULTURE CLUB

Last week, Project for Empty Space took to the Angel Orensanz Foundation for its annual celebration of women’s ingenuity in the art world: the Badass Women Art Awards. This year’s awards honored Pratt Forward founders Mickalene Thomas and Jane South, as well as Maria Grazia-Chiuri and Karishma Swali, who have forged a working relationship between Dior’s couture ateliers and India’s Chanakya School of Craft. Guests enjoyed galvanizing speeches from the honorees and a performance from vocalist Nia Drummond over a multi-course dinner, and wines from IBest. Notables in attendance included: Jasmine Wahi, Rebecca Jampol, Rosamund Pike, Anne Pasternak, Derrick Adams, Kennedy Yanko, Isolde Brielmaier, Ashley James, and more. Photos by Miguel McSongwe/BFA.
