We’re building an artist-centered narrative about the Title VI complaint process that got artists their money back here in Nashville, while exposing discriminatory funding practices. In this eleventh episode, our guest is writer, producer, and filmmaker Elizabeth Burton. We discuss the media landscape and coverage of Metro Arts, as Elizabeth speaks about how the inner workings reinforce the status quo, and the importance of voice and perspective to the stories we tell.

This show is an archive and roadmap as we continue advocating for the equitable arts funding our city deserves. Support provided by Columbia University’s Incite Institute Assembling Voices fellowship.

Hosted by Lydia Yousief and Christine Hall. Intro: Sangeetha Ekambaram, Cortney Warner, Kenny Rae, Alayna Renae, and Tim Northern. An Arts Equity Nashville production
