A new ep. of Shameless Talks is here! In this episode, we’re talking about Independence! You'll hear from Vivek Shraya, a multi-disciplinary artist, writer and musician, talk about trying out different methods to fine-tune her art, what working with young artists has taught her and how coming out as trans has made her challenge some old assumptions; we speak with Sofy Mesa, a member of feminist art collective Bonerkill, about interactive art shows, the strength of a female-identified collective and about who’s ‘allowed’ to be an artist and why; and we speak with Tau Lewis, a self-taught sculptor who explores Black identity politics and African diaspora in her work and how she finds a sense of independence in making art.
