Today we continue our journey listening to and uplifting Black Creative Voices. This is an ongoing series where we interview black artists about their work, challenges and dreams. This episode features incredible Seattle-based author, artist, and entrepreneur, barry johnson. Join us as we talk about:
-barry's IMMACULATE exhibition depicting black and brown faces that have been distorted, covered up and partially erased to represent what has happened to black culture and heritage to fit another party's narrative, and his nomination for the Neddy Award
-barry's work for TEDx exploring identity and the creation of different personas as a way to navigate the world by freely evolving to explore multiple areas of yourself and your life
-"Black Lives Matter" as an apolitical statement that refers to human rights and the non-radicalism of inclusion and togetherness
-the call to enforce law emotionally rather than physically which requires removing military-grade gear within police, and addressing the profitability of holding citizens back through mass-incarceration and slave labor
-the origins of the black peoples' mistrust in American systems due to racist law enforcement, mass sterilization of black people at the hands of racist American health-care systems, and mass killing of black people at the hands of racist American systems, along with black peoples' unwillingness to share for fear of their vulnerability being used against them again as it has in history
-black peoples' agency to believe freely and go against norms, systematic erasure of their accomplishment in history, the potential for their lives to change at the hands of police, their generational trauma and the willful ignorance of racism within society
-the way divisiveness is used against society for profit, causing humanity to forget their likeness to one another, and how our inherent shared values can be appealed to by radical ideals exacerbated by the echo-chamber of social media
-the importance of artists' roles in society and their duty to document the aesthetic and emotional history of humanity, and art's potential as a healing force

SERIOUSLY. It's a shitty word. Today we explore better words, and better ways to think about art when you’re disappointed in your work.

Today we’re talking about critique vs. criticism. So put on your big gender-of-your-choice pants, stop crying, and use adult words good!

Being in the arts is tough. Art is regularly defunded, ridiculed, or considered unimportant. Yet without it, our lives would suck. Today we talk about how to stay afloat when the rest of the world is trying to sink you.

You know when you stare at a blank canvas and the white void stares back and erodes your sense of reality till you can’t draw at all? Sure! This episode we talk about how to start when you just feel overwhelmed by the Niezchian, vast nothingness of your Photoshop doc.

In a world that pressures us to produce 24/7, taking a break feels… wrong. In this episode we talk about how self-care and self-love are MANDATORY, not a reward.

All art is just a remix of everything else. Stop worrying about uniqueness and start worrying about like, rising avocado prices or something.

An episode about why we procrastinate and ways to overcome it or something. I’ll write the rest of the description later lmao.

Did you know that artists are celestially chosen beings? No? Well they SURE AREN’T. In this episode we explore the issue with “talent” and how anyone can begin the path into artmaking.
