Contagion Media Promotes The Black Heart Event at First Friday in PHX
By KBR
December 6th marked a memorable night for Contagion Media as we brought an Instagram Live segment to life at Downtown Phoenix’s First Friday Festival. With the vibrant streets as our stage, our team, led by the charismatic La Unica, immersed attendees and online viewers into the world of The Black Heart Event: Elysian Symphony, an iconic event by Angel Virtuoso.

Our live broadcast kicked off amidst the growing festival crowd. Kevin Fides’ lens perfectly captured the sunset’s golden hues reflecting off vendor booths and art installations. The energy was lively as La Unica began the show, her outfit—a masterpiece by Angel Virtuoso—adding flair to the evening.
The opening scene set the tone, inviting the audience to join us for a sneak peek of the Black Heart Event. As she walked through the festival, her interactions with attendees—styled to perfection and bursting with enthusiasm—felt authentic and engaging.
Kevin’s behind-the-scenes shots captured La Unica handing out flyers, engaging with festival-goers, and highlighting local artists. These candid moments showed the genuine connections being made, emulating the connecting spirit of the Black Heart Event: a celebration of art, fashion, and music. EJ Mañón and Leslie Knox were also key contributors to the production, assisting with talent scouting and running the live segment camera.
One standout moment was La Unica’s serendipitous feature at a fashion show organized by the Garment League—Angel’s iconic styling sparked this surprise runway appearance. Kevin’s photographic talent perfectly highlighted the creativity and diversity of Phoenix’s art scene. The mix of live interviews, artistic backdrops, and La Unica’s infectious energy created a visually stunning narrative for our audience.
