Preview an exciting new project, led by BMCM+AC’s first Active Archive resident podcaster Piers Gelly. Gelly, a collaborator on such programs as 99% Invisible and creator/host of Cellar Door, presents a sneak peek at a new Black Mountain College podcast, currently in development. Gelly is in conversation with Black Mountain scholars Julie Levin Caro, Thomas Frank, and archivist Heather South, breaking down preconceived notions of BMC’s history and setting the stage for the eight-part documentary podcast exploring Black Mountain College as a forerunner in interdisciplinary arts, experimental education, and community-building. Funding provided, in part, by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Virginia Commission for the Arts. Additional funding generously provided by the North Carolina Humanities Council and Better Lemon Creative Audio.
