Countless artists of color have been erased from history books. In recent years, historians have been widening which artists receive their due recognition (like with Beethoven!), with many who work explicitly to fight whitewashed history. From composers of the classical era to iconic dancers of the 1900s, we’ll be taking a look at how artists have been forced to conceal their melanin - or how they have embraced and celebrated it in their art. In this episode, Narvella and Hope come to uncover the pure beauty of Black art and how Black and Brown folks have built the foundation of several art forms. In this episode, we are joined by our amazing guest Honey Crawford, a Collegiate Assistant Professor of Theatre and Performance Studies with the University of Chicago, with interests including global feminisms, critical race theory, public spectacle, and protest while centering her studies on the Afro Brazilian cultural performance. Tune in to hear more about the ways we can appreciate Black and Brown art, artists, and their history.
