Chloe Ligon Infinity Extravaganza Recap
CHLOE LIGON
Chloè Ligon, underground rapper from Bed-Stuy, hosted an electrifying event titled “THE INFINITY EXTRAVAGANZA!” at 275 Park in Brooklyn. The event was in celebration of her latest album, "INFINITY", and her birthday just days prior. The event was a powerful testament to her creativity, work ethic, and community of Black creatives. "Ms. Bedstuy" not only commanded the stage with her dynamic energy, but she also created a unique opportunity to showcase other underground artists and DJs in her community. This extravaganza not only highlighted her growth as an artist but also served as a heartfelt birthday gift to herself, marking a significant moment in her career. And with such a collective of creatives, expressing themselves through their art in one space, I was hired as the Creative Director, and assembled a team to capture the night in vibrant photo and dope video.
