Noble Champions is a modern day salon, created and hosted by the multi-platform visionary artist, Santigold. In each episode, she sits down with some of today’s leading artists, authors, activists, and progressive thinkers who stand up, stick up and speak up for important causes. Inspired by the artist, Kandinsky, when he said that periods during which art has no noble champions are ones of retrogression, these intimate no-holds-barred roundtable conversations where ideas and experiences are exchanged, are where Santi and her fellow champions try to make some sense out of our world, to push culture forward. Boundary-expanding and defiantly vulnerable, Noble Champions is a public invitation to an intimate gathering of the minds.
Santigold launches season 2 of her roundtable podcast Noble Champions with a discussion about afrofuturism and how, at a time when the world is in such a precarious place, art that envisions a better future is crucial. To tackle this subject, she sits down with best-selling writer, illustrator and academic John Jennings and artist, filmmaker and musician Terence Nance (creator of HBO’s Random Acts of Flyness), as they discuss rituals, the tools of imagining, deindustrializing oneself, time as a nonlinear construct, and much more.
