Kansas City, MO – It's the arts roundup, the audio guide to the arts. This week, an exhibit of works from The Light in the Other Room, an African American artists' collective, in the Changing Gallery of the American Jazz Museum...and Alexis Rockman's Manifest Destiny, a panoramic view of Brooklyn submerged underwater as a result of global warming at Grand Arts. KCUR's Laura Spencer reports.
