For 55 years, the Bush Foundation has been awarding individual grants to leaders who can exponentially improve life for community members through creativity and drive.

Two of the 2021 Bush Fellowship recipients — Naomi Ko and E.G. Bailey — joined host Angela Davis to talk about what the fellowship means for them, their work and their communities.

Ko and Bailey, both filmmakers, are committed to increasing representation of people of color in filmmaking and infusing the local filmmaking scene with energy and vibrancy.

Guests:

  • E.G. Bailey is a 2021 Bush Fellowship recipient. His film “New Neighbors” was featured in the 2017 Sundance Film Festival.

  • Naomi Ko is a 2021 Bush Fellowship recipient. She is the founder of the Asian Pacific Islander MN Film Collective and creator of “Nice,” a half-hour series about a 20-something Korean American living in Minnesota, which premiered at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival.
