What Wakes Me Up/Moccasin Tracks presents:
What Wakes Me Up episode 4
This episode of What Wakes Me Up is particularly compelling. Consider these guests and what they have to tell. Noon Wednesday, August 21
- Dawn Flores, artist, educator, installation designer and passionate historian who documented the strife over police violence, as well as the destruction of a forest. Her recent project The Atonement Flag tells the story of Monument Avenue and the world as it burned with change after George Floyd’s murder struck the match.
- Dan Mouer, artist, retired archeologist and professor, was called in to explore the well in which human remains, taken from graves in an African burial ground, had been tossed after being used as cadavers at the medical center.
- Paul DiPasquale, artist, builder, monumental sculptor, was called in to help remove bronze monuments to the Lost Cause of upholding the right to own and enslave people and perpetuating Jim Crow laws.
As is best practice in a situation like this, I say little while Dan, Dawn and Paul tell their history, their work and thoughts about these matters. Settle in to WRIR.ORG at noon Wednesdays for a compelling hour of news, history and music. You may even want to take notes.
