Malene Barnett returns for an interview about her new book Crafted Kinship: Inside the Creative Practice of Contemporary Black Caribbean Makers. In our interview we talk about Black cultural memory, her process for interviewing and building an archive of Caribbean artists, and the influence of Caribbean material culture around the world. The book will be published by Artisan Books on October 29th and will be widely available where ever fine books are sold. www.malenebarnett.com I would like to highlight a few friends of the podcast that need help recovering from Hurricane Helene. Joy Tanner and Will Baker from Wood Song Pottery were affected by flooding of their studio and kilns in Bakersville, NC. You can help them get back on their feet by donating to their GoFundMe campaign. Artist and entrepreneur Josh Copus’s businesses were severely damaged by catastrophic flooding in his small town of Marshall, NC. You can help him rebuild the hotel at the Old Marshall Jail and Zadie’s Market by donating to his GoFundMe Campaign. You can also volunteer your time to help clean up and make direct donations to other businesses in Marshall by visiting helpmarshall.org.
