Description
Mia Zur-Szpiro, aka Zipporah, hosts "People Doing Cool Things," a talk and music show. Exploring art, culture, identity, and justice, Mia engages global creators in profound conversations and shares their music selections. This month, she welcomes Mike Calandra Achode, a Beninese-Italian film and art director, founder of Crudo Volta, exploring music across the African diaspora. Mike, Python Syndicate's founder, and Central Saint Martins lecturer, joins Mia to discuss capturing diasporic African identity through music and film, the sociopolitical impact of graphic design, progressive teaching, and the influence of Afro-Caribbean music. Fatherhood, community importance, and Mike's music choices reflecting his identity and roles conclude the episode.
