Masters of Modern Design - The Art of the Japanese Experience
Wed, May 15, 2019
From the iconic typeface of "The Godfather" book cover to Herman Miller's Noguchi table, the influence of Japanese American artists and designers in postwar American art and design is unparalleled. While this second generation of Japanese American artists have been celebrated in various publications and exhibitions with their iconic work, less-discussed is how the World War II incarceration - a period of intense discrimination and hardship - has also had a powerful effect on the lives of artists such as Ruth Asawa, George Nakashima, Isamu Noguchi, S. Neil Fujita and Gyo Obata.

Episode 3
Dia de Los Muertos - Day of the Dead
Wed, May 29, 2019
Día de los Muertos has been adapted for centuries from its pre-colonial roots to the popular depictions in mass media today. Inspired by rich Oaxacan traditions, it was brought to East Los Angeles in the 1970's as a way to enrich and reclaim Chicano identity through a small celebration at Self Help Graphics and Art. In contrast to all the glamorous fanfare Dia de los Muertos now receives, Artbound offers a more intimate look at this ritual through the story of artist Ofelia Esparza, who continues the tradition of building altars to remember the dead.
Episode 4
How Sweet The Sound - Gospel in Los Angeles
Wed, Jun 5, 2019
Gospel music would not be what it is today if not for the impact left by Los Angeles in the late '60s and early '70s, a time defined by political movements across the country. Artists like James Cleveland and Aretha Franklin captured live recordings of the church experience of South Central and the voices and sentiment of the people coming together to give birth to a new gospel sound and the election of L.A.' s first black mayor, Tom Bradley.
