Brooklyn For Peace, the non-profit that organizes this yearly event, has been working for peace and social justice in Brooklyn and beyond since 1984. The group formed under its original name, Brooklyn Parents for Peace, as a group of parents who were concerned about the growing militarism in our society and its effects on the future of their children. Today BFP has a network of thousands of Brooklyn residents, and seeks to educate our community about issues of peace and social justice. For additional information about Brooklyn For Peace, see their website at http://www.brooklynpeace.org/.

YUME is so multifaceted, with strong roots in MUSIC X COMMUNITY, its only right that our friends over at THE NYC GRAMMY ACADEMY CHAPTER invited us to bring a group of students over to the GRAMMY CAREER DAY that took place at PACE UNIVERSITY yesterday.
It was deffinitley an eye opener not just for the students but YUME as well. Interacting with over 800 young people in a setting which gives them a chance to explore the new trends in music deffinitely left us with something to think about. Big ups to ANT from JIVE and NE -YO for imparting some much needed knowledge on the youth. Also a major shout goes out to Byron (a 16 year old music prodigy) for showing his talent and winning the GRAMMY CAREER DAY AWARD for a very creative song that he produced and wrote himself.
Look out for future GRAMMY ACADEMY x YUME collabs.

english translation:
Everyday life man, it's a real-life experience It's a personal experience that I've not yet had by just living my life We can feel that way, because we're alive Though throughout it all, we feel like that's all there is A heart that's rusted from tears Is somewhere crying for its partner today too What can I do? I can write some lyrics And maybe I can change things, for the sake of this generation
The moms who have lost their kids Relatives, and did they catch your ears? Can you hear them? I'm going to scream out, until it reaches your heart; every year, every year It's like it increases, I don't want these kinds of scenes to continue on How many more years? And how many years do I have to wait for things to change?
Doesn't something about the word "peace" sound nostalgic? Something about the word "peace" is so far away For some reason, I want the word "peace" to be closeby If only my voice, lone but big, could reach to the sky
Dear my children everywhere, what do you think about fathers like this? Could you grow to love them? It attacks my brain If you decide to love, then I'll love When you cry, I smile, and when you're suspected, I protect you I'm convinced that that's what a father is, a cord that's passed down from parents to children
It ain't easy to hold a family, it ain't easy to be a daddy or It ain't easy to be a mommy, it ain't money LOVE for family
You can't have a child because you've got no money; when you've got no money, you can't have love I don't want to hear excuses like that If there's no love, then there's no helping it...
But even though we give birth, it can't be helped I wouldn't want to be born into a world like this Shape and size doesn't matter, I want to love you, I want to see you
Doesn't something about the word "peace" sound nostalgic? Something about the word "peace" is so far away For some reason, I want the word "peace" to be closeby, if only it could reach to the sky Doesn't something about the word "peace" sound nostalgic? Something about the word "peace" is so far away For some reason, I want the word "peace" to be closeby If only my voice, lone but big, could reach to the sky
Peace...you're so beautiful)
If you have not heard BROOKLYN is our stomping grounds and has been home to YUME for as long as we can remember. So we are always happy when our friends and family get it and do something that BRIDGES THE GAP between new and old BROOKLYN.
Our friends over at THE BROOKLYN MUSEM sent us over an invitation to the TAKASHI MURAKAMI EXHIBIT and LOUIS VUITTON POP UP SHOP. We at YUME remember taking strolls through the museum on High School dates and enjoying the classic house exhibits, while necking in the crevices while no one was looking, so of course we have a strong since of ownership and thus take on the responsibility of making sure you are at this exhibit.
April 5–July 13, 2008Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing and Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Gallery4th and 5th Floors
Make sure you are there opening day, we are organizing a caravan of individuals and will be meeting at YUME to head over to the exhibit. So if you would like to join us e-mail us at yumeuk@gmail.com for info on how you can join us.

So we had the distinct pleasure to be apart of AMANDA DIVA'S first solo show over at SOBS with special guests Talib Kweli and Q TIP. It was indeed a great show. With dope opening shows from Peter Hadar and PROTON, and a knock out performance from Ms. AMANDA DIVA, even though she was a little under the weather she went in and even bust a hand stand on stage (A true b-girl) YUME had no idea her love for HIP HOP went so deep. We're so happy to have been apart of the experience. Look out for her CDS on sale at YUME starting this month. Peep the pics

Can't say too much, but YUME has decided to make a change, and of course THE FUTURE IS YOURS! so why not give your enviornment a spruce up by using everyday disposable items, that would work as even doper household items and fashion! So make sure you look out for what we have to offer and look out for THE UPCYCLING PROJECT!
THE FUTURE IS YOURS!...NYC...MARCH 29TH, 2008
Upcycling is the use of waste materials to provide useful products. Ideally, it is a reinvestment in the environment and embodiment of the notion that while using resources one is also contributing to them and their value. This is antithesis of the consume and waste concept in society.
Alot is continuously changing in Brooklyn these days. There is a continuous series of buildings being built particularly in the lower Brooklyn neighborhoods (CROWN HEIGHTS, BED STUY, RED HOOK, etc.) YUME will be embarking on a project we like to call "BRIDGING THE GAP." With the displacement and disconcertion of residents in these neighborhoods who can not afford the new high rents or barely making their rent, we feel there is nothing that inspires them daily.
YUME in collaboration with SEE ONE and a few other artists in the YUME FAM, will be doing murals throughout these areas to incite hope and inspiration into the residents that feel hopeless as well as giving the new residents something they can appreciate. We hope to BRIDGE THE GAP between the new and old residents by sparking conversation through different messages of unity within the reality of what is happening in Brooklyn and how it has an adverse effect on both new and old residents within these geographic areas, that are prime real estate for the new developments being built.
Make sure you look out for more posts on this project and if you want to get involved please e-mail us at yumeuk@gmail.com

SEE ONE HARD AT WORK "BRIDGING THE GAP"
Art comes in many different formats, while YUME was in england we met a super dope sneaker customizer who uses sneakers as a canvas and translated different visions into the SOLE, of her customers. Qustom Queen will be here tommorow, dropping off her samples and unveiling the YUME custom DUNK. We can't wait! Peep her bio and pics below.
THE FUTURE IS YOURS...NYC...MARCH 29TH, 2008
QUSTOM QUEEN
"About me:1982 saw the introduction of the first Nike Air Force One, it is also the year that I was born, so I guess you could say I was born to do this. I specialise in producing one off pieces of art, the main difference between myself and other artists, is that my canvas is shoes. I have always had a passion for art and fashion, so it was only natural that I combined the two.
I live by one main fashion principle - Being Individual. The desire to wear clothing and accessories that no one else owned is what demanded the introduction of Qustom Queen. No two people are the same, so why would you want to wear the same as everyone else? I love to make a statement through what I wear. At the end of 2006, Qustom Queen was invited to display some of her work on the prestigious 'SneakerPimps' tour. This is a great honour indeed... many try and fail every year. "I didnt even submit my work to them... they approached me to design a couple of pairs for them" There are now three pairs of Qustoms on the tour.
I understand the need for individuality when it comes to making a statement through your kicks, which is where the term 'As Unique As You Are' was created. Feb/March 2007 saw the first ever pair of heat sensitive 'colorchange customs' available in the world.
Another first, brought to you by the Qustom Queen. In November 2007, at the UK Urban Fashion Awards, Qustom Queen won the title of Best Customizing Designer with thousands of votes coming in from all over the UK and beyond. I have an individual design concept - you can come to me with your ideas and we can work on them together to produce your ultimate piece of wearable art."
So Tirinda from CUT IT OUT, hit us up with some really great pics from THE PRELUDE, we figured we'd share them with you. In the future only our preffered customers and new YUME FAM members will be able to join us at these secret events, make sure you subscribe to the blog so you don't miss out.

PRINT OF GOOD DAY GOOD NIGHT
Raised in a conglomerate of lifestyles in Brooklyn, N.Y., PRINT is home to neighborhoods such as Marcy Projects, Park Slope, Fort Green, Brooklyn Heights, and Bushwick. Print, born Christian Peterson developed his talent despite obtacles that some would consider unbearable. Working full time shifts, attending school as an honor student, solidifying a degree in Education and maintianing a safe and productive enviornment for himself are some of the challenges that Print faces on a daily basis.
Despite these challenges, Print was still able to provide himself with the basic needs to create a stable life. He always had food, shelter, and cloths on his back. With the support of hs family and freinds , Print gained a distinct directive to become the best at anything he decided to put his mind to. Only 23 years of age, Print expresses himself and his experiences in life through his poetic street lyrics and metaphorical flow. Thus, creating a distinctive northern- eastern dialect in a clsss of its own. Print began his music career in Hip-Hop at the age of seventeen, preforming at local cafes and lounges around Brooklyn.
With his knowledge of music and determination Print as a local act became a thing of the past as he got his first break at Virginia State University, where he opened up for Young Jeezy and Juelz Santana. At this moment Print realized that music was something he really wanted to pursue. With that in mind he began to travel the states opening up for headliners like AKON, TALIB KWELI, KEISHA COLE, GHOSTFACE KILLAH, FAT JOE, and many others. He recently preformed at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival where he shut it down. Afterwards he took is lyrical content and traveled across seas prefroming at the big venues all over London. Print is now working on many projects and has alot of enjoyable things in the works so stay tuned and listen closely to the radio waves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
