Spotlight: Many Lumens with Maori Karmael Holmes - Sky Hopinka

Seedcast

“If I want to make films about things I want to see, why not make them?” - Sky Hopinka

In our first Seedcast Spotlight of the year, Sky Hopinka – visual artist, filmmaker, educator, and MacArthur Fellow – speaks with Maori Karmael Holmes on Blackstar’s Many Lumens podcast about centering the stories Indigenous artists want to share and sidelining viewpoints of dominant white culture and artist spaces.
BlackStar uplifts the work of Black, Brown, and Indigenous artists through their podcast, their film festival, and much more. Enjoy this episode, keep an ear out for the new season of Many Lumens, and subscribe on your favorite platforms.
Special thanks to Maori and Sky for generously sharing this conversation, and to other members of the BlackStar team who made this spotlight possible, including Imran Siddiquee, Irit Reinheimer, and Mariam Dembele.
