Sponsored by Regional Arts and Culture Council, Future Prairie Radio is a podcast examining the future of art, design, and culture through the eyes of marginalized artists. We go beyond AI, robotics, and new currencies to learn about process and art making across media. We're using art practice as a lens to investigate the humanist and ethical values that intersect with contemporary life and technology.
