"Kutimba" is a word from Runyankole, one of the languages spoken in Uganda. It translates to dig up and it means to delve deeper into something. On this show, I explore the symbiotic relationship between art and music. I invite guests to select an album cover for us to unpack.

Charisse Kenion: Grace Jones, Nightclubbing

Journalist and photographer Charisse Kenion joins me to discuss Grace Jones’ Nightclubbing (1981) album cover.

We unpack the complex dynamic between Grace and her longtime collaborator, Jean-Paul Goude, the visionary behind the image. Our conversation also explores androgyny, the agency and complexity of Black women, and more.
