Episode 04: Live and Let Live

Three artists came together to thoughtfully and gracefully reflect on some pretty heavy societal realities. Writer Ibi Owolabi’s poem questioned the price tag on life and sound artists Chris Gravely and Fuji Fujimoto composed bookend pieces that captured the duality of this week’s topic. We came together to discuss the use of creativity as a bridge and how we as a society can find humanity once again. (Featured musician: Alana Bennett [cello])
