FM 9-21-22: Traditional African American Plant Healing / Salima Allen

THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen : FIRST … How do you use art as part of your social justice work? Salima Allen is a Queer, Black Latina, multimedia artist and she’s doing just that … with still lives and portraits and as the co-owner of Acid Smile Studios – a woman of color owned photo studio. We hear about her vision and work – on view in two exhibits in LA right now.

AND …In some parts of the world, traditional herbal remedies are the norm. But we rarely think about the ancient medicinal plants that might exist in our very own cities. We hear about plant and herb medicines through the lens of  Michele Elizabeth Lee – the author of Working The Roots: Over 400 Years of Traditional African-American Healing.
All this on KPFK on Wednesday at 7
