Ep. 9: Back to the Future (feat. Dread Scott)

from Glitter & Doom Hosted by BRIC RADIO

What do Janelle Monae, Yelp reviews of plantations and Russian Dixies have to do with artist, Dread Scott? Dread Scott wants us to remember that history is not so far from our present. His work often looks to the past in order to imagine a more just future, and perhaps no project embodies that more as his recent "Slave Rebellion Reenactment." In this piece, Scott brought the Slave Rebellion of 1811 back to life in New Orleans over the course of two days back in November, and he joined MacKenzie in the studio to talk about the project, his influences and punching Nazis.

Mavens Do It Better Heather Newman What is a Maven? A maven is an expert, sometimes a self-proclaimed one. We catch up with experts or "mavens" in their industries who do what they are passionate about, bring the hustle and light up an extraordinary spark in our world. Sometimes we eat, sometimes we drink, sometimes we do it outside, sometimes from a noisy expo hall, sometimes there is glitter, sometimes there is popcorn and sometimes we dance. But every time we talk about life and biz. We catch mavens wherever they are in the world, cause they simply do it better.
