Dee Perry speaks with acclaimed and provocative photographer Hank Willis Thomas who spotlights his controversial images at The Cleveland Museum of Art this Saturday. We also take you behind the scenes of a dance described as part vaudeville and part toy store after midnight from The Inbal Pinto & Avshalom Pollak Dance Company performing this weekend at PlayhouseSquare. Plus, we meet Mato Nanji the Native American blues man who brings his band Indigenous back to the Beachland Ballroom tonight.
