Ep59. ArtsWave “Truth & Innovation” Part 3: Jori An Cotton, TT Stern-Enzi, Anupama Mirle, K.A. Simpson & Margaret Tung

For the second year in a row, Creativity Squared is proud to partner with ArtsWave to amplify the phenomenal artists and grant recipients selected for this year’s ArtsWave Black and Brown Artist Program. Today, enjoy part three of a three-part special series of interviews with the artists featured in the program’s “Truth & Innovation Artist Showcase.” You’ll hear about their work, the world they want to live in, and their truth expressed through their art.  The artists featured in this episode include:  ⭐️ Jori An Cotton — project: “Voices of Healing: Connecting Back to Our Inner Girl and Finding Our Joy and Freedom” ⭐️ TT Stern-Enzi — project: “Stepping In (To Fatherhood)” ⭐️ Anupama Mirle — project: “DOR (Strings)” ⭐️ K.A. Simpson — project: “FLIPd: Cincinnati, Ohio's Historic Places, Spaces, Told through African American Stories” ⭐️ Margaret Tung — project: “Going Beyond Traditional Classical Music: Innovative Music for Horn” These episodes include vignettes of our interviews that took place for the fourth annual showcase of ArtsWave Black and Brown Artist Program. For the full video versions of these conversations, visit https://CreativitySquared.com or the Creativity Squared YouTube channel (https://bit.ly/C2youtube). The showcase’s “Visual Arts Exhibition” is open through August 8 at the Clifton Cultural Arts Center. The “Be Still” city-wide augmented reality portrait exhibition is available to experience through September 22. As the Resident Playwright, Derek Snow will debut his play, 'The Ravenside Occurrence,' this September at Playhouse in the Park: https://www.cincyplay.com/tickets/Arts-Culture-Incubator.  Creativity Squared is a proud partner of ArtsWave and because it’s important to support artists, 10% of all revenue Creativity Squared generates goes to ArtsWave, which is a nationally recognized non-profit that supports over 150 arts organizations, projects, and independent artists. This year’s theme is “Truth & Innovation” and Creativity Squared host Helen Todd had the great honor of interviewing the artists about their work featured in the showcase and what the theme means to them.
