This week on the Friday LIVE Extra, Genevieve Randall is talking to two artists about their craft and how their experiences and history informs their current work. Elizabeth Burden is taking part in an exhibition titled “Elsewhere/The Prairie was Ours" at the Great Plain Art Museum where she is taking the ideas behind history, and how it is told. Artist Madeline Cass is exploring the connections between humans and nature with her exhibition "Where Dust Devils Dance" at The Archive located at Nebraska Wesleyan University.
