At 2:07 p.m. - Northwest Painter Ed Kumada
Until quite recently, Skagit Vallery painter Ed Kamuda lived in a rustic cabin without electricity or running water in the small town of Bow. Perhaps not coincidentally, a cabin features prominently in many of the works in his current show at the Lisa Harris Gallery, but its simple form appears tiny and insignificant in comparison to trees, skies, and mountains of the surrounding landscape. Our art critic Gary Faigin joins us to discuss the work of this enigmatic Northwest painter.
At 2:20 p.m. - Women Empowered
Gender inequality is a poison to the human condition. Poverty, AIDS and infant mortality rates are all tied to the power that women hold in a society. Seattle photographer Phil Borges traveled the globe, documenting efforts by the relief organization CARE for the new book, Women Empowered. Today, he offers a world view of gender equality that may change our understanding of local problems.
