"Down of the Farm #3," by Malaika Favorite

Friday, February 14 at 8:30 pm & Saturday, February 15 at 5:30 pm on Art Rocks!, meet Malaika Favorite, whose paintings and collages ask the question, “where did we come from?” She shares the origin of her ideas with us, and how she hopes these images will shape conversation. Hear from Wisconsin portrait artist Pamela Ruschman, who grew up on a dairy farm and who now immortalizes barnyard animals in oil paintings. Then, a Pulitzer Prize-winning script comes to life onstage in Boston in the impassioned play, Disgraced, and Ohio engineer Keith Allen shows us his intricately crafted books that literally pop off the page.

Hosted by James Fox-Smith of Country Roads Magazine, Art Rocks! is LPB’s weekly series that spotlights artists, performance, culture, literature, history and the impact of art in our world. It features Louisiana stories, as well as segments from across the country. Current and past episodes are here: www.lpb.org/artrocks.

Also of note, Favorite's work will be on display at Lafayette's Hilliard Museum in her exhibition, The Alchemist, until June 3.
