Second-Hand Spooky With Thrift Witch

Communities from Southwest Detroit to Oakland County, Grand Rapids and Saginaw are full of Latino voters also making up their minds about voting. 

And it’s crazy because while one of the presidential candidates has been talking nonstop about one narrow slice of the Latino population… there’s a lot we’re not talking about with this community’s issues and interests. 

GUEST:
Cindy Gamboa is the executive director of MI PODER…. a non-profit non-partisan social welfare and civic engagement organization serving Michigan’s Latinx population

Dining Across Political Divides

Julianna Sanromán's paintings have an ethereal, otherworldly feel to it. But their subject matter is rooted in something deeply real and personal: the pain of family deportation. We talked to the Detroit artist about the hard realities of growing up divided between two worlds--and how her paintings are shaped by the longing to remember moments of family togetherness.

GUEST: 

Julianna Sanromán, Detroit artist 

Sanromán’s solo exhibition What Lived And Died Between Us Haunts Me is on view through November 9th at Playground Detroit. You can catch her artist’s talk there Saturday, October 26 at 2pm.
