'Kim's Video' Documentary; Listening Party with Leyla McCalla; Sheet Pan Cooking; Indigenous Artist's New Public Art At NYC Parks
A new documentary tells the story of Kim's Video, the East Village video rental store for cool kids and independent art that closed its doors in 2014, after nearly 30 years of operation. Founder Yongman Kim joins us along with Ashley Sabin and David Redmon, co-directors of the documentary titled 'Kim's Video,' which is now in theaters nationwide. We also take calls from listeners with memories of the store.
Musician Leyla McCalla's latest album features songs inspired by tropical Brazilian sounds, afrobeat and Ethiopian folk sounds. It's titled Sun Without the Heat, a literary reference to Frederick Douglass's 1857 speech to mostly white abolitionists six years before the Emancipation Proclamation. She joins us for a listening party ahead of her performance at Joe's Pub tomorrow at 7 p.m.
For this week's Food For Thought series, hear about the recipes and techniques from the new cookbook Hot Sheet Sweet and Savory Sheet Pan Recipes for Every Day and Celebrations. Cookbook co-writers Olga Massov and Sanaë Lemoine share their favorites, and explain how to get the most of sheet pans.
Today, indigenous artist Rose B. Simpson's new public art exhibition, Seed, is now on view at both Madison Square Park and Inwood Hill Park. The installations feature Simpson's sculpture work, which is also on view at this year's Whitney Biennial. There will also be public programs led by Simpson and other indigenous cultural leaders. Simpson joins to discuss her practice alongside Madison Square Park Conservancy curator Brooke Kamin Rapaport. Seed is on view through September 22.
