Quanice sits down with Courtney Harge, Chief Executive Officer of Of/By/For All to discuss revolutionary joy, the harm and gaslighting that occurs in arts and culture institutions, and self care…all while not sipping wine because I had to study afterward. Also, apparently what Quanice says on the podcast is racist to white people… THE CAUCASITY! PHEW CHILE We might have to make an unapologetic episode about that one!

In this unreleased Art Accordingly interview, Quanice and Joshua speak to Dasha Kelly Hamilton from Still Waters Collective about self efficacy, how we view ourselves as creatives, and survive as someone who is drive by mission in an ecosystem that says they are mission-drive but isn't. PHEW CHILE.

Quanice sits down with Cori Dioquino, co-executive director of the Baltimore Asian Pasifika Arts Collective to discuss tokenism, cross-community solidarity, and the formula used by the media that pits folks from the global majority against one another... all while drinking wine.
