As we prepare to close the doors of Patta Milano, we’re spending the weekend showing love to the people and communities that have made the city feel like home.On September 13, our homies at MOSAIKO are taking over Quarto Oggiaro for the MOSAIKO Block Party — bringing together music, community and some of the people pushing Milan’s creative culture forward.Milan is full of artists, collectives and communities building incredible things every day, but those different worlds don’t always get the chance to meet. MOSAIKO wants to change that.Taking place at ARCI Itaca, the Block Party is about creating a space where people can connect, dance, create and celebrate together. More importantly, it isn’t about bringing something to Quarto Oggiaro, but building something with the neighbourhood.Created alongside Milan-based collectives, artists, partners and local community members, the day is rooted in exchange, collaboration and giving back. Music. Community. People. Energy. We’re proud to support the homies and see Milan come together for this one.

Farhid “Fats” Shariff has spent years moving between worlds: clothing, product, people, storytelling and photography. Many will know him as FATSARAZZI, the photographer behind countless portraits, moments and cultural snapshots. This September, Fats opens the door to another side of his creative practice with Allow Me To (Re)Introduce Myself.Presented across two exhibitions in Hertford and London, the show brings together 38 works spanning art and photography, tracing the ideas, influences and experiences that have shaped Fats over the years.Photography taught him patience, timing, perspective and the importance of paying attention. His art offers a different kind of release. Through abstract works he describes as “Mindscapes,” alongside pieces inspired by personal heroes and experiments with different mediums, Fats explores ideas that are not always easily put into words.Rather than separating these disciplines, Allow Me To (Re)Introduce Myself presents them as parts of the same creative instinct.“I am not a photographer who paints, or an artist who takes photographs. I am a creative person. Someone who has always felt the need to make things.”Some of the works are new, while others have been sitting quietly for years. Together they create a nonlinear portrait told through people, expression, memory, movement and life.Each exhibition will feature a different selection of work, while the complete collection will be brought together in The Times of Farhid Fats Shariff, the first in a new series of zines from Fats, available at both shows.Part One — HertfordSeptember 11–20, 202609:00–17:00 dailyOpening: September 11, 20:00 until lateBrothership Studio14 Bull PlainHertford SG14 1DPart Two — LondonSeptember 25–27, 202611:00–17:00 Saturday & SundayOpening: September 25, 19:00 until lateStudioseven W10Studio 7, Buspace StudiosConlan StreetLondon W10 5APTo attend, RSVP via farhid@farhidfatsshariff.com and let the team know which exhibition you will be visiting.Whether you already know Fats through his photography and the many chapters that came before, or you are encountering his work for the first time, consider this an invitation to look again.Allow Farhid “Fats” Shariff to (re)introduce himself.

Anthony Gallery welcomes Shaniqwa Jarvis to Amsterdam for Rest Assured, Progress Is Being Made, a new solo exhibition opening on Thursday, September 10.Bringing together photography, painting, collage, childhood images, damaged negatives, book proofs and newly created works, the exhibition traces different moments from across Jarvis’ life and practice. Rather than treating the past as something to leave behind, Jarvis returns to earlier images and ideas, reworking them and allowing new meanings to emerge over time.At the heart of Rest Assured Progress Is Being Made is a question around what progress actually looks like. Does moving forward always mean making something new, or can growth also come through revisiting what was already there?Across the exhibition, photographs are layered, painted over and transferred onto new surfaces, while mirrored works and suspended materials ask viewers to move around them and reconsider what can be seen from different perspectives. The result is a body of work that feels cumulative rather than linear, connecting Jarvis’ editorial photography, fine art practice and memories across decades.Founded by Isimeme “Easy” Otabor, Anthony Gallery recently expanded from Chicago to Amsterdam, continuing its commitment to presenting contemporary artists and creating new connections between creative communities.Join us for the opening reception and experience the exhibition in person on Thursday, September 10, 2026 from 18:00 to 20:00 at Anthony Gallery Amsterdam, Prinsengracht 405-H, RSVP here. The exhibition runs through October 25, 2026 and is free and open to the public.
