Unraveling podcast with Gerald A. Brown

Last week’s episode was alllllll about joy and Black nerd banter. This episode follows suit and is all about play featuring an amazing artist and curator, Chelsey Luster. Throughout the conversation, we explore how play acts as a form of creative ingenuity as well as resistance against external forces. Analyzing uses of collage, color, tiktok and paper as some of the many great processes to help keep the juices flowing and the work as playful as humanly possible.
