- It’s July 2020 during the first wave of the pandemic. Psychotropics and politics meet when host Sophia Kayafas visits Fred Tomaselli to talk about art and his ever-changing Williamsburg neighborhood.
The new ALL ARTS short documentary film series "Flowstate /North Brooklyn Artists" explores what it means to be an artist in the northern Brooklyn neighborhoods of Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bushwick during summer 2020. Series hosts Ralf Jean-Pierre and Sophia Kayafas visit 16 artists in their homes and studios, looking at their gritty, inner worlds, and engaging in sincere conversations with a range of emerging, mid-career and established artists from diverse backgrounds.

Three and a half years later…
I’m so grateful that you froze this moment in time. This piece is golden. So many emotions and tears…even still. We’re still lost. 💔
Hope? Not so sure, just grateful to still witness it all. Yeah, hopeful.
Thanks Sophia Kayafas for this fascinating content- beautifully done!
I'm a professional artist and designer (in TX, from Chicago - heart belongs to NYC). I know I survived and thrived in 2020, it's surviving 2021 that's depleting me. I would give just about anything to be in NY, even during the pandemic. NY feeds my spirit more than any place I've been/lived so far. To all the artists out there struggling to hold on to your sanity and creativity - KEEP HOLDING ON!!! The world needs us - artists!
Yes! The world NEEDS artists. Especially now in 2021 while the pandemic is still hanging on. What part of Texas are you in? I'm in Ennis, south of Dallas.
We couldn't agree more: the world needs artists! All our best to you in Texas.
So impressive!! Yes ...The World needs us ARTIST!!
Absolutely- now more than ever- the world needs Artists!
Just finding this gem in November 2021 and its still so pertinent. Beautiful presentation. Thanks!
Thank you for watching, Mary!
What a sensitive and insightful interview. Fred and I were close before he left California for New York He had a loft he built on top of his bedroom, it was cramped and dark but he used to paint me by moonlight after we'd return from seeing a bunch of punk bands at the Vex. It brings me joy to see him in his bright garden among his botanical comrades
That's such a sweet memory. Glad you were able to find this video -- and hope you kept some of those paintings!
He reminds me of a bad-boy artist I knew in CO who enjoyed his plants too. Miss him...
10 outa 10!!!!!
Great interview!
