Welcome to "The Sit Down," a podcast presented by the Chicago Reader. I'm your host, Shawnee Dez, a Chicago-born musician and I'm excited to give you an exclusive behind-the-scenes P.O.V. from some of Chicago's most beloved creatives and community members.
On each episode of "The Sit Down," we'll be joined by a variety of guests, delving into discussions that span the spectrum of visual arts, music, food, film, and beyond. Chicago, to me, is a city pulsating with beauty, creativity, and unyielding tenacity, and our stories deserve to be told.
Chat soon, peace!
On this episode of The Sit Down, I speak to Nikko Washington about his latest exhibition, For The Old Gods and The New, his childhood growing up in Chicago, and the places and people that made him the artist he is today.
Bonus Quote: "At the end of the day I make work for myself. It's ok to be selfish in the sense that you're making it for your own exploration" - Nikko Washington
