R-F/C's Podcast janet e. dandridge & Dannie Snyder

Join our dynamic podcast discussion with the super magical MARIA SCHECHTER, a bio artist based in Bloomington, Indiana whose work is made from sustainable materials. Maria has been an artist for 26 years and is passionate about EVERYONE having access to creative expression and she is passionate about the health of our planet. She GROWS her paintings and sculptures from mycelium, the same material that fruits mushrooms. She forages for color, making paint from organic materials. Her paintings are made with historical middle age recipes and she has spent ample time with color practitioners to learn how to process color and make that color lightfast and archival. She holds a B.F.A from Cornish College of the Arts, initiated her Masters with New York University working towards a Masters in Visual Art Administration and holds a Masters in International Business with a published thesis on Cause Related Marketing for Non-Profit arts organizations.

Join our dynamic podcast discussion with MARTHA GONZALEZ, Chican@ Artivista! Martha Gonzalez was born and raised in East Los Angeles. She is the author of our new favorite book, Chican@ Artivistas: Music, Community, and Transborder Tactics in East Los Angeles. She is a crazy talented and wildly enthusiastic musician & singer/songwriter, member of the Grammy Award–winning band Quetzal, and she is allllllll about collective songwriting. But wait, there’s more: she is the Assistant Professor in the Intercollegiate Department of Chicana/o Latina/o Studies at Scripps/Claremont College. As a feminist music theorist and scholar, with a focus on Chicana feminist theory, transnational studies, performance studies, and ethnomusicology, her scholarship articulates the various ways in which Chicana, Latinx and other communities of color utilize music and other forms of creative expression not solely as politically charged commentary and/or community building projects, but as necessary dialectic tools toward various social justice ends. BAM!
