Episode 254: Ingrid LaFleur-- Detroit-based curator and artist, as well as - a podcast by Michael Shaw

Detroit-based artist, curator, Afrofuturist and former mayoral candidate Ingrid LaFleur talks about:

Running for mayor of Detroit- why she did and what she learned in the process; her platform of Universal Basic Income, combatting economic violence, and using block chain for a local currency; how and why she started using block chain—mainly to use as an alternative currency that she would like to see implemented into Detroit’s economy; and the Detroit art community: how it’s segregated, ideally the kind of acknowledgement she would like from the white male artists who move to the city (which is 85% African-American)…plus, she offers a thoughtful prescription to anyone (white artists in particular) who may be moving to the city, of how to do so mindfully and respectfully.
