RECESS VIDEO

We cannot help but rewind + reminisce about our Fall '21 project, #TheArtofRebuilding. So much happened those 8 weeks on the streets of Montrose in Houston. Not only did we gain tools for rebuilding our souls + cities, but God's already begun doing the work in + among us. This work of building bridges in the unlikely places is a mark of Heaven, and this is nothing in comparison to what we're going to see in the days ahead. Standby (and get ready) for the greater later. He's saving the best wine for last. url: www.recessmovement.org/taor social: @recessmvmt

A RECESS MVMT original featuring “24” by Kanye West, “River” by Joni Mitchell and “Silent Night”. Part of our Montrose Caroling experience this Christmas season in Houston, Texas. “Holidays brings up a lot of different emotions for people. For some it’s a sad & somber time of year, for others it’s full of joy & anticipation, & for others it’s somewhere in between. This remix acknowledges all 3 voices, & releases a blessing that no matter what you’re going through rn, there is a hope worth holding on to. The soloist for ‘24’ represents the ones who are wrestling but still fighting the good fight. The soloist for ‘River’ speaks for those for whom this season is full of pain & a longing to escape. The ‘Silent Night’ soloist represents those who have an unshakeable peace in this season. The voice of the choir could be seen as the voice of angels & elders who’ve gone before us, reminding us ‘we’re gonna be okay’ because ‘God’s not finished’. When you hear this song in this way, it takes on a whole new meaning. We pray this song meets you right where you are and fills you with supernatural courage, rest and belief. God’s not finished fighting for you, your family, your mental health, your career, your relationships, your dreams. He loves you, and we do, too.” - @kalliebah — — — Soloists: @mickyvm @kalliebah @lifeasleandra Dancers: @giulzvelez @laramlanphier @mo_claiborne Band: @joshuaello @sellwithjose @cabwenz Choir: @wwarrior89 @spickowens @thatguylooksfresh @jennlockemeyer @nikiajnae @les.sanchezz @lilofth3val @mikaellabarnett Video: @abigail_kirch @kalliebah Locations: @agorahoustonofficial @pettycashhtx @pavement_houston @theblessingsgallery #htx #montrose #caroling #christmas #silentnight #music #livemusic

Part of our Montrose Caroling experience this Christmas season in Houston, Texas. “My family and I struggled with holidays this year because my sister was diagnosed with cancer in January. She’s in remission, but we are still processing the shock and trauma (and the sense that we’ve lost a year). Honestly celebrating thanksgiving and Christmas felt really trite to me this year, but God keeps grabbing me and reminding me to hope. Being a part of this caroling experience was one of those reminders. Thanks, everyone, for being a part of that!” - Choir member — — — Soloists: @nikiajnae @mickyvm Rapper: @thatguylooksfresh Dancers: @giulzvelez @laramlanphier @mo_claiborne @camille.rieck Band: @joshuaello @sellwithjose @cabwenz Choir: @wwarrior89 @spickowens @thatguylooksfresh @jennlockemeyer @mikaellabarnett @les.sanchezz @lilofth3val @kalliebah @lifeasleandra Video: @abigail_kirch @kalliebah Locations: @agorahoustonofficial @pettycashhtx @pavement_houston @theblessingsgallery #htx #montrose #caroling #christmas #whitechristmas #music #livemusic

INTRODUCING OUR NEW SERIES: THE ART OF REBUILDING, an 8-week community experience comprised of stories, imagery + poetic musings that speak to this de/re-constructive time. TAOR will exist in 3 observable forms: (1) in print (zines distributed thurs around htx) (2) online (@recessmvmt + www.recessmovement.org/taor) (3) in person (live art pop-ups wed nights) It was birthed from the belief that 2021 is a significant bridge year between where we have been + where we are going, and seeks to give language, purpose + guidance in a time that feels vague, painful + undefined. Join us on this journey of decomposing so as to be rebuilt even better the second (or third or fourth) time around. It's never too late to begin again. Now is your time to come fully + freely alive. - - - Project Details // #TheArtofRebuilding video @thenathanberry photography @insomnikit, @thenathanberry + @kalliebah models @dancer_olash + @ giulzvelez creative direction @kalliebah @sghageman produced by @recessmvmt for our '21 campaign #ARTREBUILDS
