Painter & muralist Langston Allston joins me to talk about his installation "When People Could Fly" at Humbolt Park's Slate Gallery. He describes the exhibition's visual narrative, tells me why he wanted to make a "room-sized comic" and shares the stories, artists and music that guided him to the end result.
