This recording is a collection of audio clips where Beverly Buchanan (1940-2015) reflects on her life, career, and arts practice. She discusses meeting Norman Lewis and Romare Bearden (who later become mentors of hers), recites an original piece of writing about a work of art she created, provides a personal story about her involvement in the Civil Rights movement, and offers advice to student artists, among several other engaging topics. The audio segments in this podcast were pulled from found video footage from much longer interviews featuring Beverly Buchanan, which are below: Beverly Buchanan - An interview with Marcia G.
