My latest for KCRW’s Art Insider newsletter is a primer on a should-be icon I only recently learned about.
Since we could all some defiance: today's @kcrw.com Art Insider is about an exhibition devoted to Amaza Lee Meredith, an architect who defied segregation to build a home for herself and her female lover in Jim Crow Virginia.

I was all deep nods and “Mmm-hmm!”s during my opening night visit, then the same during my interview. (He’s lucky I only sang during the former.)
Run, don't walk, to see Derek Fordjour's show at Kordansky — a tribute to Black music, art and life via painting, sculpture, video and live musical performance.

LAT's @jessicagelt.bsky.social writes about Trump's grievances with the Smithsonian — aka he hates inclusion. It's interesting that politicians who could care less what the Statue of Liberty stands for get their panties in knots when artists recontextualize her.
