In the episode '17 | Picasso Baby | For Real, For Real', the discussion focuses on Picasso's appropriation of African art styles, particularly the resemblance of his painting 'Les Demoiselles d'Avignon' to African masks and sculptures. The episode also explores the cultural significance of braids and the discrimination faced by Black people for wearing natural hairstyles.
