This week on Artworks:
Annie Corrigan and Michael Kapinus are back with another installment of our local music series Amplifier. This time, it’s the funk group The Budos Band featuring soul singer Charles Bradley. And, a spring tradition on the campus on Indiana University: WIUX’s Culture Shock music festival.
Also on the program,
Ceramic artist Malcolm Mobutu Smith reveals just how thoroughly his roots in hip-hop and graffiti permeate his work in clay.
George Walker speaks with cast members from Theatre of the People’s fairy tale double bill.
And we’ll take a listen to the poetry of Romayne Rubinas Doresy as we continue to celebrate April as National Poetry Month.
