Wanda's Picks Radio Show 10th Anniversary, Wed., August 1, 2018

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!

1. Karel Sloane-Boekbinder, Ashe Cultural Arts Center's Programs Assistant, Theatre, Visual Art and Education along with guest curator Gason Ayisyin, join us to talk about the current exhibit: MAAFA: Creativity, Faith, Tradition and Resilience through August 23 at the Power House. There is a link to the artist reception in June.

2. Cheryl Patrice Derricotte's "Ghost Ships" (archived interview).
