Fab 5 Freddy, Laurie Anderson, Summer reads, film trailers
Fab 5 Freddy on the Italian Renaissance, Laurie Anderson's VR project To the Moon, Candice Carty-Williams with her best summer reads, and Katie Popperwell discusses film trailers.
Hip hop pioneer and art lover Fred Brathwaite, aka Fab 5 Freddy, hunts for the hidden black figures of Italian Renaissance art in a new 主播大秀2 documentary, A Fresh Guide To Florence. He reveals some of the ground-breaking images he discovered of a multi-racial and multi-ethnic society that have slipped through the cracks of art history.
Artist Laurie Anderson discusses her new VR artwork To the Moon, currently at the Manchester International Festival.
The author of the bestselling Queenie, Candice Carty-Williams, makes her pick of paperbacks to take on holiday as great summer reads.
With the release of the trailers for Cats and the new Top Gun film attracting so much attention on social media, Katie Popperwell considers the importance of the film trailer, and what makes a good one.
