The crew is back with poet, artist and writer Storme Webber, dissecting the news, the corona virus outbreak, the Boy Scouts going broke and the structures around abuse, and get a few dope pieces out of Storme!

Storme Webber is a Two Spirit Sugpiaq/Black/Choctaw poet and interdisciplinary artist. Her work is cross genre, incorporating text, performance, audio and altar installation, archival photographs and collaboration in order to engage with ideas of history, lineage, gender, race and sexuality. Her practice explores liminal identities, survivance and decolonization, and does so in a blues-based experimental manner, often incorporating acapella vocals. She has received numerous honors and residencies; including from Hedgebrook, Ragdale and Banff Arts Centre, and recently was honored with the James W Ray Award. Her first solo museum exhibition, “Casino: A Palimpsest”, was presented at Frye Art Museum in Seattle. Minh Nyguyen, in Art in America, wrote:  “Rather than erect divisions between personal art and historical archives, “Casino” considered the intangible properties by which art and poetry are connected to family, ancestry, language, and public memory, revealing intergenerational, underground histories of resilience.” Her most recent book, “Blues Divine” is available from her website, along with its companion CD recording. Currently at work on the next touring iteration of the exhibition, “Casino: A Palimpsest”, and it’s manuscript.

Gyasi and the crew are joined by Gary "Litefoot" Davis and the multi-talented Storme Webber to talk about the intersection of the Black and Native experiences in America. It's about cultural and familial exchanges, commonalities and respect.

Storme Webber describes herself as an in-between person. “Born into a crossing-over place where Indigenous met African met Texan met Alaska Native,” Webber writes in the introduction of her collection of poetry called Blues Divine. This African American, Native American and Alaska Native artist is being recognized for giving a voice to the marginalized. And it’s that voice that sets Storme apart.
