ARTillery

artists have used their work to fight against, or respond to oppressive regimes or systems that plagued their countries, their culture, and/or our universal global society. Each episode will revolve around a musician, painter, poet, visual artist, an actor, a movement, who was fearless enough to stand up to those in charge; to those who tilt the scale towards injustice, We’re talking about artists who use the power of their ARTillery to enter the war for basic rights and basic liberties, artists who aren’t afraid to jump the hurdles in the pursuit of happiness - think Shostakovich/Stalin, or Nina Simone/Jim Crow…You may even hear a little about what I’m working on. I hope you will join me. And remember….

Art is a weapon. We must sharpen our ARTillery!
