Keefer Glenshaw joins The Culture Show ahead of Intention / Desire, a collaborative 24-hour performance that begins at sunset on April 25 and runs through sunset on April 26 at the Berklee Loft in Boston. Glenshaw, a musician, performance artist, electric cellist, and founder of the rock band The Romance, talks about pushing performance to its limits and inviting audiences directly into the work. MassArt president Mary Grant returns for our recurring feature “AI: Actual Intelligence,” where we hear from some of the region’s most original thinkers. This month, she joins us to talk about the school’s new co-op program and whether an art school can also become a pathway to work.Ahead of Patriots’ Day, Kiernan P. Schmitt joins us to go beyond the Freedom Trail and into the lesser-known corners of Greater Boston where the Revolution still leaves visible marks on the landscape. Schmitt is the author of Secret Boston: An Unusual Guide and co-host of the travel podcast Out of Office.
