Ep. 19: Celebrate With Me (feat. Brooklyn Hi-Art! Machine)
b'It\'s season three of Glitter & Doom, and this time around, we\'re tackling the theme of reinvention. With the concert series Celebrate Brooklyn! moved online this year, the programmers at BRIC had a decision to make: what would they do with the concert venue? \\n\\nThey tapped artists Oasa DuVerney and Mildred Beltr\\xe9, together known as the Brooklyn Hi-Art Machine, to reinvent the Prospect Park bandshell as a public art space. Using neon ribbon, they created an installation featuring the woven words "come celebrate with me that everyday something has tried to kill me and has failed," from a poem by Lucille Clifton. MacKenzie talks to Oasa, Mildred, and Clifton scholar Rachel Harding about Black sisterhood, resilience, and community.'
