Trump is on a mission to censor the Smithsonian, books are being banned and arts programs defunded...Is art under attack? And what are they ways we are pushing back? Among them is the Pan African Arts Festival. The 2025 Artfest will feature over 100 artists from across the African diaspora, offering everything from fine art, sculpture, handmade jewelry, wearable fashion, and ceramics to African textiles, home decor, collectibles, and more. Visual artist Kenneth Vaughn, PAFF Marketing Director Marc Brogdon and PAFF supporter/Gen X journalist Jasmyne Cannick join the convo. https://www.paff.org/the-paff-artfest-returns-to-baldwin-hills-crenshaw/ https://www.instagram.com/diprimaradio/
