DJ Aztec Parrot and Elida Margarita Bautista of Berkeley KPFA’s Radio 2050 invited Jesus Barraza and I (Melanie Cervantes) to do a radio interview about our political artwork. We talked about recent works such as our Oscar Grant Poster and various Palestinian solidarity pieces as well as the history of Dignidad Rebelde (www.dignidadrebelde.com)
Radio 2050 profiles both emerging and established Chican@/Latin@ artists who are living, working, or performing in the San Francisco Bay Area . In particular, those artists who are working directly with non-profit and community based organizations who work in the interest of poor people, the working class, youth, families, or equality. Radio 2050 introduces the artist to the KPFA listenership in an in-depth interview which not only profiles the artist, but introduces their artistic process and socio-political perspective.
