During our 12-episode limited series Public Comments, 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 fifth episode, entitled "Now That the Scapegoat Is Gone, Gotta Sit with the White Supremacy," we welcome one of the city's most outspoken supporters of artists, Council Member Joy Styles, who has sponsored legislation to write arts equity into Metro Code and called special sessions to expose inequities.

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