Art in Action

post thumbnail Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

post thumbnail Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

My T-Shirt Says it All (encore)

post thumbnail Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

The T-shirt is a staple of the American wardrobe, worn by pretty much everyone at one time or another. It’s a sort of common denominator in a culture marked by differences. On this edition, we’ll hear how three T-shirt designers use the garments as a way to fight racism, communicate cultural identity, and mourn friends who’ve passed away.

Whose Neighborhood is This Anyway? (encore edition)

post thumbnail Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Making Contact’s Joaquin Palomino speaks to former gang members, and other mission residents, about gang injunctions, a controversial legal strategy that’s divided the community. Some call it a solution, but many believe it’s an ineffective measure that does more damage than good.

Rhythms of Zapata (encore edition)

post thumbnail Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

In the U.S., some communities of color have turned to ‘Zapatismo’, a culture of the Mayan indigenous movement in the jungles of southern Mexico, as a source of hope that a different world is possible. We go to East Los Angeles, where a number of Chicano artists inspired by the Zapatistas have been using music to raise awareness about social change in their own communities.
