Wanda's Picks Radio

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! We speak to Professor Darryl Obama Prevost about his work in Senegal, more specifically in Goree Island and his establishment of a CHEIKH ANTA DIOP Research Institute, Green Energy, AGOA Civil Society Network and upcoming festivals.  We instead broadcast an interview with Wanjiru Kamuyu who was one of the featured choreographers in Black Choreographers Festival Here & Now Feb. 20, 2016.
