Podcast Episode 230: CEDRIC 'VISE1' DOUGLAS

Welcome, Cedric Earle Douglas, also known as Vise1. He is a street artist among his many other credentials. Cedric was born in Boston. He received his BFA in Graphic Design from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design Mass Art. His first experience with public art was writing his name creatively on abandoned spaces. Cedric is also the founder and Creative Director of The Up Truck, a creative art lab that is designed to engage underserved Boston communities. Cedric Douglas is widely recognized for his large-scale murals and portraits and is highly regarded by a broad range of audiences. His public art project, Street Memorials, takes a hard look at racial injustice and its deadly impact on the black community. The People's Memorial project requires viewers to "rethink the future of memorials and monuments." Cedric Douglas spoke with The Artists Index's cofounder, documentarian, and now occasional podcast host, Ron Fortier, recently about his passion, his practice, and his journey as an artist. This episode was recorded at our recording studio at Spectrum Marketing Group at Howland Place in New Bedford.   Cedric Douglas New Bedford, Massachusetts 02780 Email | Website | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Other   Please consider donating whatever you can to help and support us in our mission to continue documenting the legacies of South Coast Artists.
