Just Kids: Patti Smith & Robert Mapplethorpe's Unbreakable Bond in 1960s NYC
Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe met in 1967 New York, both at the edge of survival. This video explores their extraordinary pact: to never abandon each other and to dedicate their lives to art. From stealing art supplies to living in the Chelsea Hotel, they navigated poverty, identity, and the birth of punk rock. Discover the 'One Day–Two Day' rule that kept them alive, the raw creativity of the 'Losers' Salon', and how their love, art, and sacrifice defined a generation. Patti Smith's memoir 'Just Kids' reveals a story of art as a divine vocation, a bond that transcends death, and the cost of creating beauty in a brutal world.
