A panel discussion with Alex Burger, Ade Solanke, Shruti Swamy and George Reyes. The Crisis of Art Making.
My first radio drama. It was fun, grueling, experimental.
Thanks to all my helpers and collaborators: couldn’t have done this without you: Cinqué Hicks, Lauren Ludwig, Jarvis Turner, Jackie Trimble, Mauryne Less, M. Aviña, Jen Scott, Ramya Krishnaswamy, Stephone Watson, Amanda Diaz and my four-year-old nephew Ziv Bernstein. The power of art is in community for me.
Number two in the can, an event I executive produced with the inimitable Roy Clovis and others. The 2021 IFC Sustainability Exchange
Here it is, at long last. A series of talks that my partner in crime, Carolyn Cooke, and I organized in the Spring at the start of COVID at the California Institute of Integral Studies. The talks now immortalized into a series of podcasts: Art and Survival. Enjoy!
Just go through the wrap up from our IFC Virtual Exchange 2020. I was one of the executive producers and we shared lessons learned with colleagues.
Creating the event was a thrilling experience: pulling together 80 speaks, over 100 video segments, production teams on three continents. The response has been overwhelming: 6,000 + participant viewers from 140 countries, 35M social media impression. Here’s the recap video and our core team with a Tik Tok flower gag.
