Reclaiming the Narrative: Titus Kaphar on Art, Family & Breaking Cycles

The art world is filled with biases, opinions, and social messages that strike at the heart of what artists create. The problem is that within this world is that the patrons of the art rarely want the messages of injustice, violence, and a need for change. 


This week on the Shaping Freedom Podcast with Lisane Basquiat, we are taking a look at how one artist has navigated the biased world of art while staying true to the message behind his work. Titus Kaphar is a visual artist  an artist, filmmaker, and storyteller, whose work consistently challenges the way that we see ourselves, our histories, and our relationships. 


This conversation how we confront the past, how being black in the art world affects your work and the importance of failure and dusting yourself off. This is Shaping Freedom!
