In Episode III, Ampersand explores “uprisings” & talks to people who chose to be bold. A survivor of Selma’s Bloody Sunday shares her story, Middle Eastern artists subvert convention at LACMA, classical musicians take their music into bars, a west coast rapper resists conforming to a culture of violence, & a boy from Arkansas defies gravity as a dancer in the City of Angels.
Featuring interviews with former Civil Rights foot soldier Linda Lowrey, LACMA curator Linda Komaroff, The Helix Collective, hip hop artist Hen Gee Garcia, & Diavolo dancer Cal Chester, this episode is about breaking barriers and defying norms.
