Episode #2: Celebrating Dilla with #ACF
from Afros & Ceramic Fruit Hosted by WSTS Radio
We've arrived at week 2! Savvy and I thank you all for tuning in last week for the first installation of Afros & Ceramic Fruit with the team from the Fultonia project. On the occasion of Dilla Day 2014 this week guest co-host Felicia Mings and I talk with Chicago-based interdisciplinary artists Krista Franklin and avery r. young on the influence of Soul and Hip Hop's in each of their practices. Through poetry, art making, music making and interestingly enough binary space making Krista and avery have developed artistic practices tied to their individual black experiences. Considering contemporary spaces for antiquities, we'll talk about where Soul and Hip Hop fits in to the equation as it relates to where they are today as artists and how they think about making. Starting from James Brown in the womb, to the church house, to the seeing a record for the first time, to the impact of MTV, to adopting a hustler mentality as a way of working, we arrive at imagining what Dilla might look like in embedded in a collaborative art project.
