Author and multi-disciplinary artist Glenn Lutz joins the Studio Noize fam and has a deep discussion about his new book, There’s Light: Artworks and Conversations Examining Black Masculinity, Identity, and Mental Well-Being. Glenn interviewed a wide range of Black men and examines themes related to Black male identities, sexuality, masculinity, and mental health. There’s Light is a collection of over sixty artworks from contemporary art legends and emerging talents, alongside more than thirty interviews from artists, activists, psychologists, community organizers, authors, musicians, filmmakers, athletes, and lawyers. Including contributions from the late Virgil Abloh, Tunji Adeniyi-Jones, Mark Bradford, Wyatt Cenac, Barkley Hendricks, Rashid Johnson, Glenn Ligon, Steve McQueen, Tyler Mitchell, Darnell L. Moore, Pope.L, and many more. Glenn and JB discuss the themes that thread through the interviews, how Black men deal with trauma, and using art as a tool for healing. This is an amazing project and Studio Noize is excited to giveaway one copy of the book There’s Light. Tune in to the show for details. Listen, subscribe, and share!
