3. Name Taking
What happens when artists take on new names and identities? What are the motivations and consequences? Kay Em brings together personal stories by and about artists’ names in different continents: poet Anaïs Duplan from New York; artist Wong Kit Yi from Hong Kong; and artist, writer, and organizer Fernanda Laguna from Buenos Aires. This episode ends with a deeply intimate reading by Stockholm-based artist Every Ocean Hughes about their own name change.
PILOT SEASON
The episodes are scripted in English and include excerpts in Dutch, Spanish, and Arabic with English interpretations. The episodes are available with subtitles in English on our YouTube channel. Dutch subtitles will be available soon.
SEASON ONE
The storyboard for upcoming episodes is in development! If you would like to share a story about a name—or even about the culture of naming in general—to consider for a future episode, please email us: [email protected].
CREDITS

Jurith Schols is the voice talent of select citations. The podcast’s voice recording, mixing, and original music has been developed by Jan Pohl at Okapi Recordings in Rotterdam.
