In this week's episode of Meet Me at the Chazen, host Gianofer Fields talks with re:mancipation artists who designed oklads, an Eastern European religious art form, to venerate Black icons of Wisconsin. As they worked on an oklad for Dr. James Cameron, the late civil rights leader who survived a lynching as a youth, they felt the spiritual light of his story moving through them.
Meet Me at the Chazen is a podcast about the the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Chazen Museum of Art, the largest collecting museum in the Big Ten. As we report what’s happening here, we'll also explore what it means to be an art museum at a public university and how art museums can help enrich and strengthen the communities they serve. Meet Me at the Chazen theme and incidental music is “Swinging at the Pluto Lounge,” composed and performed by Marvin Tate and friends, and is used with permission of the artists.
