We have a long history of creating art that acknowledges our oppressors, and great things have come from that.  However when do we start imagining a world where art isn’t always painful, and traumatic? When will we be able to imagine a world where art is simply an expression of the beauty we see within ourselves?  Black art, especially the art of Black women, has taken on this educational role, but 2020 may be the moment where we have grown past this. We will be joined by our special guest Robin Laverne Wilson AKA Dragon Fly and talk with her about her ancestor driven performance art and what the future could hold for Black artists after our ancestors stories are told. What's next?
