Raw Material : A Podcast from SFMOMA
Raw Material is an arts and culture podcast from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Each season we partner with a different “podcaster-in-residence” to explore modern and contemporary art through a new lens. Along the way we bring you voices of artists and thinkers from around the globe who offer surprising perspectives on the world through their work.
This season, podcaster-in-residence Babette Thomas leads listeners on a journey through the power of Black Imagination — surfacing voices of Black Bay Area art history pioneers in the archives and dreaming about free Black art spaces of the future.
Executive Producer: Myisa Plancq-Graham
It’s MIXTAPE Season! This year activist, writer, mischief- and media-maker, and self-described “cyborg oracle” Alice Wong lends her voice to the Raw Material platform!
