CCH Pounder talks curiosity, ancestry and her museum-sized art collection

CCH Pounder isn’t just an Emmy nominated actress, known for her roles in Avatar, The X Files, ER, or on The Shield as Detective Claudette Wyms. She’s also a renowned art collector, and some of her pieces were recently installed at the DuSable Black History Museum and Education Center. The installation, “Diaspora Stories,” is focused on artwork from across the African diaspora. She talks to Erin about helping to curate the installation, which is open through July 16, and the lines that permeate her art performance and art collecting.
