Our Shared Field

What does it mean to truly collaborate? How do we find shared meaning? How can we create, together? "Our Shared Field" is a podcast project that seeks to answer these questions by bringing together artists with people from other fields to talk about the overlaps of their respective work. Over the course of three episodes, we meet two guests, interviewing them individually about their work, before sitting down together on the third episode to have a shared conversation. In the gaps between fields, new things can emerge. Produced and hosted by Austen Camille.

  1. Making a House a Home (PART 3): A Block Captain and an Artist Talk Engagement (with Anamaya Farthing-Kohl + Aminata Sandra Calhoun)

    Making a House a Home (PART 3): A Block Captain and an Artist Talk Engagement (with Anamaya Farthing-Kohl + Aminata Sandra Calhoun)

    What turns a house into a home, and a neighborhood into a community? The intention with which Mexico City-based sculptor Anamaya Farthing-Kohl and West Philly block captain Aminata Sandra Calhoun care for the spaces they call home is remarkable. While ‘home’ means something different for each guest, they’ve both expanded the definition to exist outside of their own walls. For Aminata, a clean, cared-for home includes the block it is situated within, and for Anamaya, the actual form a home takes can be ever-shifting. Today, Anamaya and Aminata share the last conversation of the season. We begin by talking about the things that, for Aminata and Anamaya, make a place feel like a home. Music in this episode was created specifically for this podcast by Philly indie band Lester, who pulls listeners in close with soundscapes that build and unravel.

For Aminata, a clean, cared-for home includes the block it is situated within, and for Anamaya, the actual form a home takes can be ever-shifting. Today, I talk to Aminata, block captain and civic leader, about the move back into her West Philly childhood home, the work she's done transforming a dilapidated lot into a community oasis, and why she sweeps the curb outside of her home every Sunday. Music in this episode was created specifically for this podcast by Victor Vieira-Branco, featuring Matt Engle, while thinking about what collaboration actually sounds like.

For Aminata, a clean, cared-for home includes the block it is situated within, and for Anamaya, the actual form a home takes can be ever-shifting. Today, I talk to artist Anamaya Farthing-Kohl, who always asks the public to collaborate with their work, asking for help to define, circulate, or discover its meanings and intentions. Everyday encounters and actions and objects become moments where Anamaya thinks, ‘this could be a sculpture’.  Music in this episode was created for the conversation by janna, in response to Anamaya’s work and themes of creating alternative spaces for home and belonging.

    Expanding the Field (PART 3): A Microbiologist and an Artist Talk Communication (with Alexandra Soare & Charles Trae Mason III)

    How can communication between fields change the way they are communicated individually? Multimedia artist Charles ‘Trae’ Mason III and microbiologist and immunologist Alexandra Soare talk with me about the relationship between art and science, and how both fields still have a long way to go in their ability to communicate outside of themselves. We also discuss the necessity of a good mentor, and acknowledge those who changed and expanded the ways they work. Today, Alexandra and Trae talk with me about the relationship between art and science, and how both fields still have a long way to go in their ability to communicate outside of themselves. We also discuss the necessity of a good mentor, and acknowledge those who changed and expanded the ways they work.

On today's episode, Trae talks to me about all of the people who have made him who he is as an artist.

    In the Weeds (PART 3): An Organics Business Owner and an Artist Talk Grassroots (with Ellie Irons + Mike Serant)

    PART 3: ELLIE IRONS + MIKE SERANT What does it take to be “sustainable?” How can we, as a society, grow in ways that help the world grow around us? New York artist, Ellie Irons, and Texan business owner, Mike Serant, come together to talk about their grassroots efforts to foster relationships between humans and the world that sustains us. We discuss the unfortunate branding of ‘weeds’, the domino effect of healthy soils, and what it takes to build ‘an organic army’. Today, Ellie and Mike share their thoughts on what it takes to communicate the microscopic world of soil health, and how the well-being of soil is connected to the well-being of plants and therefore to us as humans. We begin with the issue of communication, as that’s where Mike’s work as a business owner and Ellie’s work as an artist intersect with urgency. Music in this episode is by TIOGA the Band, a modern indie rock band, born in Philadelphia, with roots extending to New York City. The quartet is composed of Greg Adams (lead vocals), Derrick Dieso (guitar), Austin Paragas (bass & vocals), and Henri Tyler Brooks (drums & vocals).
