The Risking Space

Karla and Roxie - 2 multi-hyphenate working artists and women of color - explore with artists the tough topics and uncomfortable spaces where art is created and why the heck we thrive within it. As bell hooks urges, we seek out "risking spaces" rather than "safe spaces" by talking to and celebrating artists who have chosen to take creative chances.
