Sad to hear that Nikki Giovanni, one of the key voices of the Black Arts Movement, died this week aged 81. We interviewed her in 2018 about Aretha Franklin, the subject of one of her best known poems, and it was a privilege to spend a little time with her www.slow-journalism.com/long-reads/n...

If you’re wondering whether to support an artist / creator you like, then maybe it helps to think of buying / subscribing as the counterweight to the “everything is free” decades. If governments won’t support artists with UBI in the face of that, then creators’ shop windows are a way of getting by.
