Artists Talk Movies Podcast
hosted by Erin Stafford and Heyd Fontenot
Light some candles and join hands with Heyd and Erin was we descend to the the depths of Angel Heart with Dallas-based artist Andrea Tosten. Angel Heart explores taboo themes such as Voodooism and Satanism to uncover the mystery of a missing person named Johnny Favorite. With the discovery of several heinous murders in New Orleans, the detective Harry Angel gets wrapped up in the dark arts, blood rituals and frankly more deviled egg than he can chew.
Tangents include: epistolary novels, Satanic Panic, Jinco jeans, high school devil possession, artificial fingernails, Pee-wee Herman, Black Venus, Lisa Bonet Interviews
For more information about Andrea's studio practice, check out her website http://a-scribe.squarespace.com/ and Instagram @ascribe1.
Here is a list of books that Andrea references in the episode: Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart, Dracula by Bram Stoker, The Screwtape Letters by Bram Stoker, The Color Purple by Alice Walker, Tell My Horse and Mules and Men by Zora Neale Hurston

101 Black artists living and working in Texas
Update: A week ago (February 9) we asked you, our readers, to help us continue building this list. And you did! The original list of “101” didn’t include every Black artist making work in Texas (though it kicked off the conversation), and the following names are some notable omissions.
As this overall list continues to grow, please come back often, and visit the artist websites we have listed below, as well as the comments section of this article (and on our social media accounts) for the names of even more Black artists living and working Texas.
CADD x Maddrey PLLC Artist Prize 2020
Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas and Maddrey PLLC are proud to announce the inaugural recipient of the CADD x Maddrey PLLC Artist Prize to Dallas artist Ciara Elle Bryant.
The jurors have also awarded prizes to two runner-ups, including a $1,000 prize to Hakeem Adewumi and a $500 prize to Andrea Tosten. Ragbir states, “It’s clear-- Hakeem Adewumi’s subjects trust him. And when that relationship plays out in front of the camera, combined with Adewumi’s keen sense of light and color, we all win.” On the third prize winner, Crockett states, “Tosten is an emerging artistic voice carving out a compelling interdisciplinary practice. I hope this award can serve as a small gesture of enthusiasm and support for her work.”
