This week we talk with Dylan Bandy about developing their artistic voice. "There's a way in which talking about sex and sexuality is still important to me because it's still seen as this pornographic image, especially being a sexualized person. There are these ways of talking, like, yes while this may be frankly sexual, it is not your masturbation fantasy. Like, that's not what I'm here for. And, I guess, you know, you do what you want to. But, it's like you missed the fucking point. Because everything I was saying was about female friendship and how lonely I am."

Dylan Bandy is a filmmaker, photographer, singer, and events producer based in Seattle. They were was born in Alberta, raised in the American South, and the PNW, and have lived in New York, Berlin, and Chicago before re-locating to Seattle. A plant-lover, and feminist queerdo out of the DIY 'underground,' Dylan's works include She Must Die, a chemical light show and cabaret, Strangers In A Song, a performance installation, and Is This OK, a short film about queer romance in public places. 

BITCHCONOCLAST is a parent-child podcast about sex, feminism, & power.

In season one, we interview Pacific-Northwest authors Nicole Hardy, Claire Dederer, Elissa Washuta, Vanessa Veselka, Karen Karbo, Suzanne Morrison, and each other about our work and the state of the patriarchy.
