travel to the Barnes, and with Indego’s many docks throughout Philadelphia’s neighborhoods, and the newest dock located right here at the Barnes, biking here is easier than ever.” This collaboration kicked off in September 2017 with the launch of ten masterwork-wrapped bikes at the Barnes, and the announcement of free general admission to the Barnes for Indego pass- holders. This first set of bikes featured works by Paul Cézanne, William Glackens, Amedeo Modi- gliani, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Rousseau, and Vincent van Gogh. In total, these master- work-wrapped bikes have taken over 3,000 rides in the six months they have been on the streets. With over 400 rides, the bike wrapped in Henri Rous- seau’s Unpleasant Sur- prise is the most popular thus far, and the second most popular is wrapped in Vincent van Gogh’s Houses and Figure, with 381 rides to date.

The Barnes Foundation is a nonprofit cultural and educational institution that


shares its unparalleled art collection with the public, organizes special exhibitions, and presents programming that fosters new ways of thinking about human cre- ativity. The Barnes collection is displayed in ensembles that integrate art and objects from across cultures and time periods, overturning traditional hierarchies and revealing universal elements of human expression. Home to one of the world’s finest collections of impressionist, post-impressionist, and early modern paintings—includ- ing the largest groups of paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Paul Cézanne in existence—the Barnes brings together renowned masterworks by such art- ists as Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Amedeo Modigli-


ani, and Vincent van Gogh, alongside ancient, medieval, Renaissance, and non-West- ern art as well as metalwork, furniture, and decorative art. The Barnes Founda- tion was established by Dr. Albert C. Barnes in 1922 to “promote the advancement of education and the appre- ciation of the fine arts and horticulture.”

The duo arrives when folks are in need of the depth; of spoken soul and spoken word over hot beats and sound in these complicated times. Os- hun has been consistently performing as a team, elevating their persona and spreading their own brand of “Woke” to the


Hip-hop, hip-soul and consciousness all wrapped up in a sun- flower is a good way to explain the vibrations of Oshun. They actually perform in front of large, life-size stage prop sun- flowers. In reference to the vibration in the atmo- sphere, everyone enter- ing the environment was torn on how to classify the venue. Attendees that evening, coming out in couples, singles and groups, were of vari- ous ages, backgrounds and educational levels. All they could say was “House Party.” The atmosphere was filled with incense, but not the traditional kind. The type that made you think of Tibetan temples, yoga and meditation on the beach. The es- sence was coming from a woman who herself happens to be an artist in the middle room sell- ing assorted scents of champa and soaps with cannabis sativa, and a
