Join me on the Cultural Curriculum Chat podcast as we unravel the fascinating journey of Jean-Michel Basquiat through Javaka Steptoe's award-winning book "Radiant Child." You'll gain insights into Basquiat's early influences, including the nurturing support of his mother Mathilde and the jazz-infused environment created by his father. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to Basquiat's unstructured, expressive art that ignites conversations around social justice and cultural identity.

Listen to how everyday life and the bustling streets of Brooklyn became his canvas, defying traditional art boundaries. Educators, parents, and art enthusiasts alike will find inspiration in Basquiat's story, as we explore strategies to help students dream big and see art in the ordinary. Tune in for a captivating discussion that celebrates the enduring power and legacy of Basquiat's unique artistic vision.
