A Lens Based Podcast

The Modern Art and Culture podcast is on location at Mint fine art gallery, located right outside of downtown Atlanta. Jessica Helfrecht, the program director, takes us for a tour of the space and exhibitions and we have a great conversation about gallery life. In this episode, we're also introduced to the ladies of the Free Black Women’s Library who then talk about how they came about and what their mission is.

In this episode, we grapple with what going forward looks like for creatives, question whether social media is a viable marketing tool, and addressing trends of diversity in the creative industry. We also introduce a new segment that highlights contemporary artwork.

This is the first installment of the ACP Studio Sessions, as we interview artist and co-founder of ACP, Corinne Adams.  Corinne will talk about how her vision for ACP (Atlanta Celebrate Photography) became a reality, some of her favorite experiences over the years, where she sees the organization going in the future, and how the public can support + participate in ACP events this year.

Part 2 of my conversation with Gabriella is all about the work. In this episode we do an in-depth critique of her “The Letter” series. 

With this episode, we begin a new segment dedicated to conversations and critiques with a focus on emerging artists. In the first part of this in-depth discussion we get a glimpse into the artist's life, motivations, feelings on the current political climate, and how her ongoing project is fulfilling her mission. 

There's something to be said about starting from the beginning. We delve into our respective visions for the podcast and share stories of self-discovery and inspiration.

This initial trailer for the Modern Art + Culture podcast lays out the thesis to the show.
