Wanda's Picks Radio Show

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay!
 

Guest: Danielle Wright, is a Visual Artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her work investigates the language of materials and the delineation between artist and viewer/participant. In addition to her studio practice, she teaches art at Creativity Explored, a not-for-profit art gallery and studio in the Mission District of San Francisco.

She joins us to talk about her work and the exhibit she is a part of honoring the life of Yuri Kochiyama at SOMarts through next Thursday, May 25.
