  • Makes you feel good to be in the arts

    Emily is the best and she had the most interesting guests. They always make me think differently about art, studio practice and what it means to be an artist in this world. Can’t recommend it enough to get to know fascinating folks from Bay Area and beyond!

    I am loving your podcast Emily! I’m certainly not an art enthusiast but your interviews, and the artists you are spotlighting, bring a human connection to their craft.

KALW Radio - Bay Made Showcase Live Recording
Q: What does art practice look like in drastic times, and how do you sustain it daily?
Art practice remains a juggling act of grants, teaching, commissions, and community projects, with a focus on staying connected to collaborators and sustaining one's artistic voice despite financial pressures.
Replay! Shao Feng Hsu - Photographer
Q: When did you know you were an artist?
A lot of times, you're thinking about what defines an artist, and realizing you can make things that didn't exist before is the moment you might become one, because it's a special thing you can invent in the visual art.
Zeina Barakeh - Animation Artist & Global Security Scholar
Q: How does Cybotage engaging with veterans influence your work and its impact?
Working with veterans helps ground the project in real human consequences, informs ethical guidelines, and creates a tangible archive that researchers and policymakers can use to anticipate outcomes for soldiers and society.
Zeina Barakeh - Animation Artist & Global Security Scholar
Q: What drew you to combine art with studies in global security?
I wanted to understand warfare from multiple angles and learn the tools to address it critically, especially from a perspective shaped by my own experiences, which pushes me to explore the ethics of these technologies.
Replay! Trina Robinson - Film & Video Artist
Q: What's the most creatively inspiring place in the Bay Area?
The Presidio, not only for its beauty and recharging atmosphere but also because it ties into family history and the way space intersects with memory in my practice.
