The wonders of spring - magical gardens, colors, rabbits, eggs, serpents. What could be regarded as the most alchemical of the seasons, the spring equinox, celebrated as Ostara since the 8th century, awakens the world to light, birth, and frivolity. In the wise words from the late, great Robin Williams, “Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s party!’”, and we did exactly on the vernal equinox at Dikeou Pop-Up on March 20. Denver artist Mario Zoots selected grooves from our vintage vinyl archive, Devon Dikeou’s “Donation” received a fresh bouquet of floral delights, Lizzi Bougatsos’ “Self-Portrait” ice sculpture dripped and glistened in the sun, folks adorned zingmagazine costumes, and photographer Anthony Camera was there to capture it all. See our Spring Equinox Reception photo highlights below!
