Host Jim Reiman welcomes Rodrecas “Drék” Davis—professor, multidisciplinary artist, and Head of the Department of Visual & Performing Arts at Grambling State University—to explore how photography fits into his broader creative practice. For Drék, the camera functions as a private refuge: a way to step back, breathe, and capture fleeting impressions before any heavy conceptual lifting begins. Those photographic moments then feed his collage and assemblage work—the arena where he dissects history, politics, and pop culture and reassembles them through an African-American lens.In this episode, Drék unpacks the therapeutic value of shooting for himself, shares how found images morph into layered installations, and reflects on guiding students to balance technical skill with unflinching personal inquiry. If you’ve ever wondered how disparate media can fuse into one cohesive voice—or how process itself can be a form of self-care—this conversation is for you. Hit play, settle in, and let’s peel back the layers of Drék Davis’s multifaceted approach.
