Shownotes

How did one woman take pictures so powerful that they were both celebrated and banned? How did a worker with unprecedented access create a living visual library that showed our country’s desperate injustice? And what can we learn from Dorothea Lange and her photos of migrants in the 1930s, and incarcerated Japanese-Americans in the 1940s, about making art as resistance?

This is The Art of Resistance, a podcast about using writing, music, and all kinds of art to resist the status quo. The show is made by Rebel Yell Creative and Amy Lee Lillard. Get full episode transcript and sources at RebelYellCreative.com.
