Changing the Narrative Episode 5- Art is Everywhere

How does art influence us as individuals and as communities? How do we process our world into artistic expression that makes us think, brings us joy, and connects us? In the Story Corps booth at the Annenberg Space for Photography, musician/ film maker Kevin Miles and voice over artist Betsy Foldes Meiman  discuss  the social justice power of photography, a high school football hero Tashad Rutherford (Truth) slams his poem "Outsource," Alynnah Walker and Avery Carter give  cultural wisdom and connection through K-Pop. Stick around after the Connectopod "End Yell" to hear these two soft spoken 11 year olds break out amazing covers (in KOREAN people!) of La Ta Ta and As If It's Your Last, produced by Young Ambition (the perceptive Kevin Miles!).
