Sights and Sounds is your weekly guide the Bay Area arts scene through the eyes and ears of local artists. During shelter-in-place, instead of recommending in-person events, we're offering suggestions for ways to experience art and culture from home. This week, host Jenee Darden speaks with DJ Nina Sol. BAMBD Fest 2020 The Black Arts Movement Business District is hosting an online arts & culture festival.
