The namesake of the Artist Retreat space I co-host with Dail Chambers’ — Fannie Lou Hamer— was a civil rights activist who used her singing and knowledge of spirituals and freedom songs toward the liberation of Black people.

As artists we seek to provide refuge for fellow creatives who — like Fannie Lou Hamer — are often the interpreters of our pain. Of our time.
