  • Bonus - Keepers of the Culture (Live Event at the PRX Podcast Garage)

    In this special episode, we listen to the audio from the live event at the PRX Podcast Garage, "Keepers of the Culture: A Celebration of Meduna and Holmes," which I had the privilege of participating in at the end of January. In it I chat with collage artist Ekua Holmes, play her some audio I produced on her work, and then we listen to art historian Barry Gathier give the curator talk to end all curator talks on art, artists, viewers, and why we do what we do.

    Special thanks to PRX, the PRX Podcast Garage, and WGBH.
