| 2/19/26 |  Ep:24 Art as Healing: Khari Turner on Art, Water as Witness & Black Representation | Water is more than a material in this conversation, it is memory, history, resistance, and healing.

| 4/23/25 | Welcome Back: A Reintroduction to the Art Affects Podcast | Can you believe its been 5 years y'all!? Episode Description:In this reintroduction episode, I’m peeling back the layers and bringing you into the heart of Art Affects , where creativity meets healing, and where we explore the deeper meaning behind art and the artist’s journey. I’ll be sharing what’s changed, what’s coming, and why this space still matters more than ever. Why I Started This Podcast:I’m Gherdai Hassell, a visual artist, creative director, and wellness facilitator, who has spent years exploring in my own life how creativity can unlock our deepest stories and bring us closer to ourselves. From teaching in China to exhibiting my work in exhibitions globally, I noticed a common thread, art has the power to transform not just the canvas, but our very lives. Art Affects was born from my own desire to build a community where we can learn from each other’s triumphs, struggles, and breakthroughs. This is more than a podcast. it’s a full circle journey back to ourselves through art, conversation, and shared reflection. Whether you’re a returning listener or brand new to the podcast, this episode is your personal invite to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with yourself through the lens of art, storytelling, and reflection. Let’s reintroduce ourselves, because sometimes, starting fresh is the most powerful thing we can do. Peace, Gherdai | 5m 03s | ||||||

| 9/11/20 |  Episode 12: Music at the Intersection of Truth Telling and Gratitude with Hana Bushara | Hana is a Bermudian singer and songwriter Hana Bushara was inspired to start writing songs for a final project under the mentor-ship of her English teacher Charlie Judd, who exposed her to artists that would become foundational inspirations to the beginnings of her musical journey. At 16, she was awarded the United World College scholarship in Bermuda and was granted the opportunity to finish her high school studies in Duino, Italy for two years. There, came to know and love students from over 90 different countries, allowing her to foster a better understanding of the world and its colorful contexts. The21- year old was the winner of Heather Nova’s Young Songwriter Competition, where she was coached by Heather and had the opportunity to perform her original song “Seeds” at the Bermuda Festival in 2019. Earlier this year, she opened one of the festival concerts with Derek G and performed 4 of her original songs. Although still young, Hana’s writing has taken her on several musical journeys and she has been able to perform in open mics in Bermuda, Italy, Denmark, and the U.S. She is currently double majoring in Global Studies and Sociology at St. Lawrence University, where she is also a member of the University’s chamber choir, funk ensemble, and the lead singer of the band H.U.A.C.

She sights some of her biggest musical influences as Ms. Lauryn Hill, Moses Sumney, Leonard Cohen, Tracy Chapman and Jordan Rakei.
