November 10, 2025 - David Drake's pottery, Patrick Wolf, and Dorie Greenspan
Description
The Museum of Fine Arts,Boston has taken a historic step in confronting America’s past, returning two monumental stoneware vessels to the descendants of David Drake — an enslaved potter from South Carolina who inscribed his name and poetry into clay when literacy was forbidden. His fourth-generation granddaughter Pauline Baker and her son Yaba Baker join The Culture Show to reflect on Drake’s legacy and what this homecoming means for their family. To learn more go here.
After a decade away from the spotlight, British musician Patrick Wolf returns with “Crying the Neck,” an album inspired by the rugged coastline of eastern England and a creative rebirth years in the making. He joins The Culture Show ahead of his performance tonight at The Center for the Arts at the Armory in Somerville at 7 p.m. To learn more go here.
And five-time James Beard Award winner Dorie Greenspan brings sweetness (and some savoriness) to the everyday with her new cookbook “Dorie’s Anytime Cakes” — filled with loaves, Bundts and snackable slices. She appears tonight at Trillium Fort Point in the Seaport for a 6 p.m. Q&A and signing. To learn more go here.
