On Hiero Day, Tajai Massey Says Culture Needs Physical Spaces
b'Tajai Massey sees Hiero day as a physical manifestation of the Souls of Mischief\'s most famous song, "93 Til Infiinty", where he and the other emcees give listeners a taste of life in Oakland.\\nThese days, living in Oakland, it\'s hard to ignore the growing wealth disparities, the massive unsheltered population, and continued gentrification.\\n"A lot of folks I see during Hiero Day, they\'ve had to move away, to Stockton, Sac,\\xa0L.A... anywhere that\'s cheaper than here. But we see them on Hiero Day, so it\'s like a big family reunion," says Tajai.\\nAnother unfortunate change in the Bay Area: fewer affordable art spaces.\\nThis week on Rightnowish, we talk to Tajai about the intersection of culture and the built environment, and the importance of having access to space in order to share, celebrate and create culture.'
