Influenced by Yoruba Religion, as well as Eastern and African philosophies, Sabrina's work is a combination of spirit, motion, and intimacy. Not limited by two dimensions, the scope of her work also includes sculpture, objects, performance and installations.  With professional appointments at the Detroit Institute of Arts and the College for Creative Studies, Sabrina Nelson has served as an educator, lecturer, and professional artist for 37 years. Coaching her community on the business of being a professional artist through active studio practice and mentoring.   A tenacious creator whose multi-dimensional art is truly out of this world, Sabrina Nelson is also a recipient of the 2022 Women's Caucus for Arts Lifetime Achievement Award and a 2021 Kresge Arts Fellow.    In this episode, we talk about:  Muses James Baldwin Artivism  The way Black women tell stories  Learn more:  Sabrina Nelson Professional Website IG: sabrinanelson67 Ashara Ekundayo  Ashara Ekundayo Gallery IG: asharaekundayogallery      Detroit References James Baldwin Hangout Spots Bakers Keyboard Lounge Cliff Bells  Willis Show Bar Detroit Institute of Arts Rosie's Diner Gallery Camille  Hermon Futrell Kef Parker (IG: kefparker55) Andrew Wilson (IG: drewberzzz)
