S1 E4: Slam Jam, The Curator

The Anthropology we dive into the movements and minds shaping culture today. In its first season, Fashion Anthropology, journalist Tiffany Godoy talks to the artist, designers and original street scene makers that surround the brand Slam Jam. Founded by Luca Benini in 1989, it started as an Italian distributor of Stussy, Carhartt and Nike. In 2018, they opened the art cultural space Spazio Maiocchi in Milan and Luca Benini alongside Matthew Williams created the brand Alyx. In this five episode series we immerse ourselves into the culture of Slam Jam. Slam Jam is heavy into art. They support and showcase an endless stream of emerging art talents, such as musician Isaiah Barr of Onyx Collective and art duo OrtaMiklos. In episode 4, Alessio Ascari joins us from Slam Jam’s Spazio Maiocchi gallery in Milan. He curates the space and publishes the progressive art culture magazine, Kaleidescope.
