In this premiere episode, Prof. Dana C. Chandler, Jr. (Akin Duro) introduces the audience to his thought-provoking show and the issues he will cover. The show is co-hosted by his daughter, award-winning journalist, Dahna M. Chandler.
Called "controversial", a "Black Power Artist", "activist artist" and "Outsider Artist", Chandler, 70, was born in 1941 in Lynn, MA. He is best known for the edgy, colorful, controversial and hotly-debated artistic statements of his 1960’s-1980’s works.
Because he continues to evolve, his messages change to reflect his personal evolution, he is still an interesting, provocative speaker who can speak and/or lecture brilliantly about the historical relevance of his art and his activism to the worldwide struggle for race and gender equality as well as bridge the generation gap that is confounding this country’s leadership and confronting America as we move into the “internationalist” phase of our own evolution. These views will form the basis of this show's content. Learn more about Chandler by visiting his Facebook Page. (c) 2011. BAPsody in Blue, Inc. and The Outsider Artist, LLC
