August 09, 2014 Conversation with Artist Bethany Edmunds
Bethany Matai Edmunds a.k.a Miss b.Me is a weaver, artist, fiber sculptor and Hip Hop lyricist. Edmunds visual work is grounded in traditional Maori weaving which she conceptually translates using traditional materials and fibers, combined with contemporary denim and mixed media, which further expresses her experiences of being a culture bearer of 'pART mAOri' descent. Lyrically, Edmunds also called Miss b.Me, explores similar concepts which she poetically expresses through cultural references and feminine flows, combining stories inspired by her Maori heritage and her unique worldview of life as an artist, poet and MC. Edmunds has a strong focus on the enhancement of taitamariki, young people, through the use of the arts, and ensuring that nga taonga tuku iho, the skills passed down from our ancestors, are retained for future generations.

May 25, 2014 Episode 8. Interview with Rebekah Tarin

Rebekah Tarin is a Los Angeles born Xicana, self-taught visual artist, educator and critical thinker. Tarin is currently based out of Penasco, NM.
Poet Muriel Rukeyser wrote of the German artist Kathe Kollwitz ….”What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open”.
"My paintings are my truth. They are self-portraits of my insides; what I think about, the things that concern me, or how I perceive something at a given moment. Images culled from poetry, headlines or startling statistics reflecting the reality of marginalized existence. The truth is both terrifying and beautiful. I want to create from this axiom." -Rebekah Tarin
**Audio content for this episode no longer available**

Dissident Woman….. "Our future depends on the resistance and leadership of women and girls. I am inspired by women willing to take up arms in defense of their communities. We want to be free and we have the right to define what it means to be liberated" Rebekah Tarin

Nurturing Resilience….. "i feel like, as a parent that is one of the most important gifts we can give children…resilience." Rebekah Tarin

BLUE: Dejour and defacto….."Ramarley Graham was an unarmed 17 year old black boy gunned down by the NYPD in the bathroom of his family’s apartment in front of his grandmother. No one has been charged in this case. Black and brown folks especially young ones live a parallel reality where justice just doesn’t apply to them. The order of the day is extrajudicial executions. In 2012 after Trayvon Martin was murdered, in a 6 mo. period 120 black and brown folks were murdered mostly by police. That was like one every 28 hrs. WTF!!!" Rebekah Tarin

A statement from the Artist:
I, chimera-a sum of parts: both/and
mestíza/white
butch/queer
mama/papa
poet/painter
lover/hater
fighter/friend-in all configurations and amounts
from the intersection of these places:
indigenous/colonizer
goddess/virgen
traitor/saint
flow the multiplicity of agency
the shifting veils of self;
flayed and transformed
integrating and liberating
the feminine dimensions of power and divinity.
-rebekah tarín, peñasco, nm

A es para abeja…..”A” is for Bee….but A does not equal B...without bees humans couldn’t exist. This piece celebrates and recognizes the sacredness of bees." Rebekah Tarin
