I found out about Ravon through the newsletter she launched this earlier year, New Terms & Conditions, a glossary for an anti-colonial black feminist Critical Media Ecology or abc glossary for short.
Ravon Ruffin Feliz (she/they) is a new york-based artist, cyber anthropologist, writer, educator, and founder of Citation Studio, a Black feminist experimental thinking studio mapping the possibilities of computing, archives, and nature with/on/for/at the internet. She has worked in the arts and culture sector for 10+ years tending to public engagements with art, archives, and the internet, URL and AFK. Ravon has held positions at the New Museum, The Studio Museum in Harlem, The Museum of Modern Art, and the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture across education, public programs, and digital strategy design. She has a M.A. in American Studies from George Washington University, and a degree in Anthropology from VCU, two cultural landscapes that have deeply shaped her practice.

In this episode we delve into Ravon’s background in museums and also her views on technology through a black feminist perspective. Enjoy!

Welcome Phung Huynh to the art workers podcast! Huynh is a Los Angeles-based artist and educator with a practice in drawing, painting, public art, and community engagement. Her work explores cultural perception and representation. Huynh challenges beauty standards by constructing images of the Asian female body vis-à-vis plastic surgery to unpack how contemporary cosmetic surgery can whitewash cultural and racial identity. Her work of drawings and prints on pink donut boxes explores the complexities of assimilation and cultural negotiation among Cambodian and Vietnamese refugees who have resettled in the United States.

In this episode she talks about how as an artist she is uncompromising, and how she deals with tokenism and how she hopes her art will create a legacy for story, family and for future generations.
