Have You Met Her‪?‬ Paige

Welcome to PRIDE MONTH 2024. We're starting this month's celebration by talking about Christine Jorgensen, definitely NOT the first trans woman in the United States, but the first to be exposed in the New York Daily News. Instead of living a quiet life as her authentic self, Christine decided to use the platform that she gained to advocate for acceptance and understanding for the Trans Community.

For an extra-special 5th Wednesday this month, I wanted to share with you the story about the exceptional women of this rural, isolated town in Alabama. They are resilient women, incredible crafters, and known for their unique perspective on the art of quilting. Their art tell not just their stories, but the history of stories that came before them.

We’re diving into the bright, colorful world of Street Art this week… and celebrating the unique, powerful murals created by the artist known only as her pseudonym, Bastardilla. With her experiences, she invites us to look for the resilience of women and the quiet power that she sees. For questions, comments or suggestions, email me at haveyoumetherpodcast@gmail.com.

What do you get when you cross Pop Art with a Nun? Listen to this week's episode to find out! Corita Kent was a force of light and love. Through her passion, she showed the world that the concept of "art" was whatever they wanted it to be.

Hannah Hoch was an artist who just wanted to create pieces that meant something to her. And so she did. Join me to explore the world of Dada Art and hear about this amazing woman who was called a "good girl" by her male peers during her life... and a complex, funny critic of mainstream and art-world misogyny now.

We’re highlighting women artists this month and we’re starting strong with the first African and Indigenous American artist (of any gender) to become an internationally celebrated sculptor. Her legacy was lost for almost a century…. But we are lucky enough that she has been rediscovered and serves as an inspiring example of overcoming obstacles and pushing towards a goal at any cost.
