Vessels of Revolution: Sculptor Akinsanya Kambon

Season 3 Episode 301

His ceramic works depict struggle and survival across the African diaspora, and stepping into his studio is a spiritual experience, as Laura Flanders discovers. Join Flanders and Kambon as they discuss how art keeps spirits alive.
