CulturalDC PodcastAuthor: CulturalDC
For 20 years, CulturalDC has been making space for art. That means physical places like galleries, theaters and affordable housing for artists. But it also means we make space in the conversation. Podcasting is an exciting way to have those conversations and make our work and artistic programs accessible to a broader audience. So we started the Cultural DC podcast to share insights from some of our key collaborators with you. Tune in for in depth conversations on spaces, art and creativity in Washington, DC!

Afrofrequencies with Ursula Rucker and Thomas Stanley, Ph.D - Torrents: New Links to Black Futures
Thursday, 7 March, 2024
In this conversation, Thomas Stanley, Ph.D., interviews spoken word recording artist Ursula Rucker. Thomas Stanley is an artist, author, and activist deeply committed to audio culture in the service of personal growth and social change. As performer and curator, Bushmeat Sound has been an integral part of a visionary music scene straddling the Baltimore-Washington corridor. His audio work employs musical sound to anchor, frame, and accelerate our subjective experience of history. Ursula Rucker is an interdisciplinary poet, performer, and recording artist whose work reflects on personal history, family, and place. She characterizes her work as situated “along the edge of the terrains of poetry.” Dr. Stanley’s conversation with Ursula explores culture, world issues, and how it affects art and expression. This podcast is an extension of TORRENTS: New Links to Black Futures, an artist-led program exploring new territories in Black future-building through visual arts, technology, music, film, and performance. This conversation was partly supported by The Kennedy Center’s Office for Social Impact, partnership with Art in Transit, The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, and The Humanities DC’s Visions Grant.
