Cultural Canvases: Episode Six - Ezra McCoy

In this episode, I talk with Ezra McCoy, an Atlanta-based fiction writer, cultural critic, and essayist. His work explores the intersections of labor, love, and liberation in class-based society as found in literature, art, music, history, and politics. His work is featured or forthcoming in Rotary, Moguldom, Bold Culture, Medium.com, and his regular newsletter, Ezra Indited. Let’s take a listen.
Welcome to "Cultural Canvases: Black Men Reshaping Fine Art and Creative Spaces" presented by ArtAboveReality - the podcast that dives deep into the vibrant world of contemporary art, design, and digital creativity through the lenses of Black male professionals. Join me, Badir McCleary, your host, and curator, as we venture on a journey through the fascinating narratives and insightful perspectives of these groundbreaking artists and visionaries.
In each episode, we'll unravel the threads of their unique journeys, exploring the challenges they've overcome, the triumphs that define their artistic narratives, and the goals that keep them putting in overtime in their studios and boardrooms. From gallery walls to global stages, we'll celebrate these diverse talents that are redefining the face of creativity. But that's not all. "Cultural Canvases" goes beyond the canvas, delving into the broader ecosystem. Tune in for engaging discussions on current events impacting the creative space, market trends, and the rich historical context that shapes contemporary expression.

Special Thanks to Ezra Moore and ArtAboveReality for showcasing this subject. Chat GPT and AI have taken the creative world by storm. It needs to be talked about. If I were not a parent...I would not know about all this new technology.
I am struggling to see real value in chat GPT.
I can see its use in technical writings. I can also see it being used as a rough draft for a wonderful story.....that will need to be edited by a human.
Sure...a real artist can use computers to draw...but come on....this massively produced ai generated art on youtube is sooooooo tired. It shows a lack of true creativity.
This is coming from a painter....who uses paint...so I may be biased.
