I don’t know the history of this particular dumpster. I know it’s been here at least 2 years, but likely longer.

The Derelikt Diva Art Show

On the dancefloor with DJ SKi Daddy from Two T’s

The Derelickt Diva herself, Jojo

This past Sunday I traveled to Hargett Street, to check out the Derelikt Diva art show. It was part art show, part spoken word, and hip hop event with DJ Ski Daddy. The event was held in Club Kirocos, which is above Two T’s.

The event was a lot of fun, and had a great vibe. Jojo (the derelikt diva) put the event on herself, which is even more impressive. To find out more about her artwork, visit her myspace page.
