The virtual event All Day Blackness features a diverse cast of Black programmers and hosts from Columbus-based online radio station Verge.fm.
Curated by artist and Verge.fm DJ Reg Zehner in collaboration with the Wexner Center’s Dionne Custer Edwards, the event invites a series of hosts to each contribute an hour of performance, conversation, and music in sets that celebrate joy, pleasure, and Black people and culture. See the full schedule below.
