Helga Podcast

Helga Davis’ podcast Helga is about the intimate lives of creative people as they share the steps they’ve taken along their path. Helga’s conversations are proper ear balms and I particularly loved the episodes with Kara Walker, Jason Reynolds and the two-parter with Arthur Jafa (do I mention the work of Arthur Jafa most weeks? hahaha). In the remote chance that you’ve yet to view Jafa’s Love Is the Message, The Message Is Death (2016), above is a clip. The film is not currently on view, but do see it if it crosses your path.
