Ep. 298 Why Representation Matters in Art w/ Karen J. Anderson

podcast February 24, 2025

Representation in art and film matters because it shapes identity, inspires change, and ensures diverse voices are seen and heard, creating a more inclusive and authentic world for all.

Join me in my conversation with Karen J. Anderson. Karen is an artist, writer, photographer, publisher, and filmmaker. She uses a variety of methods to uplift, inform, and educate African Americans and people of color.

She has a Master of Arts in New Art Journalism from the School of the Arts Institute in Chicago. She presented her paper, More Than A Color: The Marginalization of African American Beauty at the 2021 National Conference of Black Political Scientists. It was published in the Roots Work Journal.

She had her article “Best Trip Ever” published in Chicken Soup For the Soul I’m Speaking Now in 2021. In 2023-2024 she presented the work for Illinois Humanities Road Scholar program throughout the state of Illinois. You can contact Karen Anderson at https://uppcreative.com/.
