All Of It with Alison Stewart

Art and poetry collide in the new book from poet Reginald Dwayne Betts and artist Titus Kaphar. Titled, Redaction, the book combines words from Betts and art from Kaphar to explore how incarcerated people are treated by American society. It's an expansion on their MoMA PS1 show of the same name. Betts and Kaphar join us to discuss.

Sumner Redstone ran the Viacom media network for decades before his health began to fail. A new book takes you inside his family's world, which has been called a "real life 'Succession.'" Authors James B. Stewart and Rachel Abrams worked on Unscripted for the last three years and join to discuss the book, their reporting, and take listener calls.

As we wrap up our Black Art History month series, we meet Nicola Vassell, one of the only black female gallery owners in New York City. She opened her eponymous gallery in Chelsea in 2021. She came to the U.S from Jamaica at just 17 and worked her way up through the art world, working for big names like Pace, and has also helped curate The Dean Collection. We hear her story and what she has planned for 2023.

Correction: in the introduction to the segment, the host refers to Nicola Vassell as the first Black female gallery owner in Chelsea. We know of at least one other – June Jenkins-Johnson operated a gallery in Chelsea that closed 9 years ago.

The new film, "Argentina, 1985," has been nominated for an Oscar for its portrayal of the legal team that dared to take on Argentina's military dictatorship in the 1980s. Director Santiago Mitre joins us to discuss the film, alongside Luis Moreno Ocampo, the lawyer whose story inspired the movie. "Argentina, 1985" is available to stream now on Amazon Prime.

Nitehawk Shorts Festival runs March 1-5, featuring dozens of shorts spread between seven categories. Director of programming Cristina Cacioppo joins us alongside filmmakers Leah Shore and Jude Dry to preview the festival.
