NOTES
Today's episode features my conversation with Carina Martinez-Isaza and Divine Agbeko, two of the three founders of Hues of Humanity (the third being Madison Bickerton aka Noodl, an incredibly prolific designer from the RGV), a virtual art exhibition featuring Black artists from throughout the Rio Grande Valley from a wide variety of practices: music, poetry, digital collage, illustration, and more. The exhibition caught my eye a couple of months ago when it was first announced as a brief online event. Along with the artists and works featured in the exhibition we discuss the importance of supporting Black voices and Black art in a region like the Rio Grande Valley, the significance of virtual spaces at a time in our world where physical spaces exist largely within a realm of compromise, as well as the creative practices of both guests.
As of July 8th, the virtual exhibition is now available for the foreseeable future. You can visit it here, and follow the exhibition on Instagram here.
This episode was intended to air last week, but was postponed due to Hurricane Hanna. To help folks who are still trying to get their lives back on track as a result of the hurricane, please visit RGV Mutual Aid and donate what you can. Your money will go directly to families in need.
Thanks again for tuning in. Take care of each other, and yourselves. See you next week.
