Episode #061: Tommy Kha, photographer

In this episode with photographer Tommy Kha we dig deep into recognition and reconciliation particularly with the people of his past, his hometown of Memphis, and graduating from Yale and somehow becoming a stand-up comedian.

He’s already held the book signing for A Real Imitation, which we talk about in this episode, but until Sept 17th can run by Crosstown Arts to feast your eyes on Tommy’s curated photography and video gallery titled, Anthology: Somewhere Not Here, which we also discuss.

Episode #014: Todd Richardson | Crosstown Arts

Ground breaking for Crosstown Arts is coming up and Todd Richardson came onto the podcast to discuss. We learn about the past five years of development, future plans, some floor plans, and how it all came together. Surprising to hear just how well things went during planning phases from great reception, to partners with similar plans, and how having art history background worked in Todd’s favor. Crosstown wants you to know that you too can be a part of this historic building, they will be looking for residents to help occupy what looks to be a premier culture center in Memphis.
