Artist Johana Moscoso and I discuss her growing up as a girl surrounded by her aunt's sewing machines, a loving family who "loves to party and dance," and how it all informs her broad body of work - one that integrates textiles, embroidery, dance, and performance. Learn how she began making (sewing Barbie clothes!) and found a home in the art room, a school space where her ADD was an advantage rather than a hindrance. Recognizing her daughter's learning challenges, Moscoso's mother wholeheartedly supported her artistic talent, which was nurtured in Bogotá, Colombia. For Moscoso, family, migration, and a sense of dis/connection guide her work.

Join Johana Moscoso and me as we talk about her life, family, work - and her latest project, the Ingrid Lopez project.
