U-M Creative Currents
Explore the transformative power of the arts! Introducing "Creative Currents" - a new podcast from the University of Michigan's Arts Initiative that will tackle big and small questions at the intersection of art, culture, and society.
U-M Creative Currents
Impossible Conversations (Part I)
In this episode of U-M Creative Currents, host Mark Clague welcomes award-winning documentary filmmaker, Associate Dean of Research and Professor of Documentary Practices at London College of Communication, Pratāp Rughani, to discuss his latest film installation and exhibition: Impossible Conversations.
The episode examines the complexities of restorative justice and the personal transformations that can arise when individuals with strongly opposing ideologies find a way to communicate.
[Trigger Warning: This episode discusses themes of gun violence, white supremacy, hate crimes, and the 2012 Oak Creek Sikh Temple shooting. Listener discretion is advised.]
In part II, we’ll talk with ARIA recipient for this project and filmmaker, U-M Professor David Chung, who helped bring this film to life and to U-M’s Stamps Gallery.
