Host Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle/Olomidara Yaya discusses the theme of fear. From discussing how fear can be a motivator or immobilizing to what it means to lean into one's fears and invite them to sit down for tea, Hinkle/Yaya explores what it means to use fear as a medium within and outside of the studio and creative practice. She also reads an excerpt from November 20th, 1978 from Jack Whitten's Notes From The Woodshed, published by Hauser & Wirth Publishers; Reprint edition (August 28, 2018). The featured passage discusses Jack manifesting his ideal painting collaboration and trying to lean into the unknown whilst confessing his fears of what that means. Hinkle/Yaya discusses the difficulty of what it means to lean into our fears amongst socio-political upheaval and she shares two favorite quotes concerning fear and permission from Bob Marley and Lucille Clifton.  She asks listeners to do something that scares the sh*t out of them in order to embrace fear and to allow it to be a catalyst to shake things up within their creativity.
