Today's episode was recorded live on November 22nd, 2021-- we start with our open mic and then jump into our headliners. First is, Raven Daniels, a Brooklyn bred, New Orleans based artist, poet and teacher on a quest to understand themself and the world they live in. Using analog photography and poetry as a tool to question the nuance and parallels of identity, spirituality and ancestry. Then we hear from Ray, an 18 yr old youth poet from the city of Miami. Her work tries hard to reflect the world around her. She writes on blackness, queerness, religion, and having a body. She recently performed a piece at the Perez Art Museum in answer to their newest art exhibition The Artist as Poet. She continues to be as active as possible in the poetry community and is a part of a local poetry collective called "Voices: Poetry for the People."
