Join host Rob Lee on “The Truth In This Art” podcast for an inspiring conversation with Lindo Jones, a talented spoken word artist, clothing line creator, and event host from uptown Philadelphia, PA. Lindo’s unapologetically black art fuses theatrical poetics with visual art to address themes such as love, masculinity, and social injustice.
Having appeared on Def Poetry Jam and featured at various institutions including Bucknell University, Haverford College, Drexel University, and UPenn, Lindo’s work has gained recognition across the east coast. His work has been featured in publications like Philadelphia Weekly and The Waco Theatre Black History Celebration and on the popular poetry YouTube channel, Button Poetry.
In this episode, Lindo discusses his experiences as a teaching artist for several non-profit organizations, building curriculum to help youth express themselves through creative writing, visual arts, and performing arts centered around social activism and personal development. He also shares insights into his consulting work for poets and artrepreneurs in the Philadelphia area.
Listeners will gain insights into the importance of artistic expression in addressing social issues and personal growth, as well as Lindo’s experiences as an event host and organizational team member for local Philadelphia open mics.
