Hub Quick Hits: #SCArtists making moves

Spotlight finds pair of #SCArtists

Two updates from artists Hub readers might remember from previous coverage…

• Clarence Carter Boucher, who is listed on the SCAC’s S.C. Artist Directory, is the narrator of a poet’s recently published book. Boucher narrated Silhouettes of Silence by William Gomes, a British-Bangladeshi from York, North Yorkshire, UK. Gomes is an anti-racism campaigner and advocate for the rights of displaced people in the United Kingdom. He actively engages in speaking out against racism both locally and nationally. Of Boucher’s narration, Gomes said, “… your reading breathes life into each poem, making every word glow with meaning. Please keep going, let your voice reach thousands of souls. Your impact is immeasurable.” The book is available now for purchase by searching the retailer of your choice.
