Ep 73: Studio 5 Artist Talk — On Messy Art, Cultural Memory & Building Creative Futures( the Tiny MIC Version)
Manage episode 499911544 series 2935352
This week, we crack open a raw, funny, honest convo with four featured Studio 5 wall artists: Arun Drummond, Anna Rob, Kim Thomas, and Jakeem “The Dream” Hodge — hosted by Steph Frx.
We hit record during a live in-studio hangout with the Blue Yeti mic turned all the way up (tiny mic version drops in a few days 👀). What followed was a roundtable of real talk on fear, freedom, identity, and what it means to make art that actually matters.
We get into:• Why “ugly art” might be the realest art• Multidisciplinary practice as survival + joy• Cultural erasure, identity, and creative autonomy• Zines, trash sculptures, and DIY everything• Teaching the next generation of artists• What it means to build tables, not just ask for seats
Whether you're just starting or reimagining your practice, this one's for the artists who know perfection is a trap — and messy, meaningful work is the goal.
