On March 9 designer Erin Thornton and musician and philanthropist Andra Liemandt hosted a “Party Amongst Friends” to celebrate the release of “My Tribe,” a new music video from local band The Mrs (Liemandt is the group’s drummer). The event included a living photo shoot, conceived by Thornton and curated by Tribeza. Guests were invited to join the stage of “Tribe,” a play by Zero Eight that brought the seven forces of nature to life. Perception, vitality, integrity, intensity, meaning, volition and stamina … what will it be?
Partygoers managed to both blend in and stand out among the “Seven Forces of Nature.” Head dresses, taxidermy and a pop of pink provided the perfect foil to the lush setting.
