All Of It
WNYC
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and its consumers.
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and context.
ALL OF IT is a show about culture and the culture.
Our aim is to engage the thinkers, doers, makers, and creators, about the what and why of their work. People make the culture and we hope, need, and want the WNYC community to be a part of our show. As we build a community around ALL OF IT, we know that every guest and listener has an opinion. We won’t always agree, but our varied perspectives and diversity of experience is what makes New York City great.
ALL OF IT will be both companion for and curator of the myriad culture this city has to offer. In the words of Cristina De Rossi, anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College, London:
"Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at the table, how we greet visitors, how we behave with loved ones, and a million other things."
...In other words, ALL OF IT.

Reverend Joyce McDonald's Sculptures Receive First Museum Exhibition
Artist Joyce McDonald was born in 1951 and raised in Brooklyn's Farragut Houses. But she didn't start pursuing art until the 1990s, after being introduced to sculpture in an art therapy program while recovering from drug addiction. McDonald, who was also diagnosed with HIV in 1985, found that art gave her a way to express herself, and honed her craft with Visual AIDS, which supports artists living with HIV. Her ceramic pieces and archival materials are the subject of a new exhibit at the Bronx Museum, 'Ministry: Reverend Joyce McDonald,' on view through January 11. McDonald discusses her life and art, and why she decided to become a minister at the Church of the Open Door.
