Sisters Ali and Celine Dipp have been on a mission this summer - exploring various artistic representations of the Southwest. For this week's episode, Celine Dipp switched roles and interviewed our very own Chuck Horak about the history, representation, and artistic flare of the American Western. With a discussion ranging from the beginning of the Western genre with Thomas Edison's early films to a retrospective look at some of the outdated social values of the genre, there was an immense analysis of Western cinema and its artistic effects. Their project is set to be released this upcoming Labor Day at 2:00 p.m.
