Last week an excellent conversation had Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco on art, color and more. Luke Williams moderated—did an excellent job—and artists Delita Martin (center) and Tawny Chatmon were brilliant. I LOVED everything they said. Please look these terrific artists up. 🖤🙏🏿 Their work is @ MOAD in San Francisco. Phenomenal. #art#artists#blackart#blackartists#Mastodon#BlackMastodon#SanFrancisco

"Jake Blount, an Afrofuturist folk artist... tweeted about the concern of Chapman’s “legacy being overwritten in real-time.” He thought about how Big Mama Thornton’s “Hound Dog” was consumed by Elvis Presley or how Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy’s “When the Levee Breaks” was overshadowed by Led Zeppelin, along with endless other examples of the “White male genius” archetype that often receives credit for songs by #BlackArtists" https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2023/07/13/tracy-chapman-luke-combs-fast-car-cover/
