06. Don’t Blame the Youth

JusKeep talks all things music with rapper and community organizer Mike Floss, who’s based in our very own Music City. Mike Floss sheds light on how he views his artistry as a continually evolving process & the vastness of being a musical artist authentically expressing the full range of the human experience, which for him ranges from kickin’ it on the weekend to protests when the time calls for and everything in between.

05. The Writing’s on the Walls

The JusKeep team explores the mind & experience of Katie Delmez, senior curator at the Frist Art Museum in Nashville, TN. They talk openly about the often complex dynamics between art institutions & the artists themselves as well as the influence & opportunity that a role like curating possesses. Katie offers some necessary perspective on how to be a bridge instead of a gatekeeper for a broader range of art to be seen.
