In keeping with these strange and unprecedented times due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, NOWNESS launches an exciting My Place mini-series to reveal the inspirational potential of every home. Under the expert guidance of My Place series director Barbara Anastacio, creatives from the industries of music, art and fashion will release a self-shot episode showcasing their unique living environments across NOWNESS channels.

As the boundaries between the external and interior world starts to blur, we want to recast the home as a holistic expression of an individual’s creativity, personality and unique history. With upcoming series appearances from curatorial producer Parma Ham, rapper Tommy Cash, and filmmaker Nadia Lee Cohen, stay tuned to find out what ‘home’ means to them.

Sage Adams launches this spin-off series with an intimate look at her New York apartment. As a founding member of Art Hoe Collective—an online curatorial group that showcases the multidisciplinary work of queer and gender-nonconforming artists of color—Adams shares her philosophy on how community-led programming is integral to the arts in the objects that connect her to her friends and collaborators.

Having just moved back to the city after spending the last few years cementing her creative connections in California, the artist talks about life under quarantine and the objects that have the most emotional value in her life; art books, Polaroids, journals, sketch pads and that all-important life-size cut-out of Harry Styles.
