U-M Creative Currents
Pan African Creative Exchange With Nike Jonah & Erwin Maas
How might the arts foster intercultural appreciation and understanding? Can the arts serve as a global economic development tool? What can be done to amplify new voices speaking across international boundaries or offering new perspectives on differences, including race and gender? We’ll discuss these questions and more today on Creative Currents, Michigan arts podcast.
In our very first episode host professor Mark Clague talks with Nike Jonah FRSA and Erwin Maas, our 2024 Visiting Artist Integration Program (VAIP) and U-M School of Social Work Artist Residents. Clague spoke with Jonah and Maas about their groundbreaking work through the Pan-African Creative Exchange (PACE) and what they're doing on campus this spring and fall.
