We end our second season with a crackling and highly motivating interview with the incomparable Tra’Renee Chambers. She shares about her journey to becoming an emmy-award winning TV host, how she uses her voice to elevate the voices of others, and how she’s not looking for tolerance or acceptance anymore - she’s looking for CELEBRATION! What a fantastic way to end another great season of Creating Portland. Thanks for listening!

We step away from our more traditional artistic forms this week to speak with the creative mind behind the Mother’s Bistro & Bar, Lisa Ann Schroeder.

We go deep this week into the colonial roots of many roadblocks and challenges facing the Portland art scene with our incredible guest Demian DinéYazhi´. We discuss how to love a city while being critical of it, how to confront the hyper marginalization of certain artistic identities, and how we must strive for a better future even if we don’t know exactly what it will look like. Don’t miss this one y’all!

Our awesome artist this week is Troy Mathews who creates breathtaking pieces in Portland while being an arts educator. In our conversation with Troy this week, we discuss which audiences to address in social justice art-making, the need for more variety in our city’s gallery space, and even how to use tax loopholes to make big money from art in Oregon.

Local multimedia producer Katya is our guest this week. Pearson and Katya reflect on how the global pandemic has allowed creators a sort of intermission; a time to recharge and make healthier one’s creative processes.

Two teachers - host, Pearson Kunz, and special guest Nicole Smith - go absolutely off on the importance of arts education. We get into the magic theatre moments for youth, the importance of creating even when you may never see the final product, and - of course - a queer, time-travelling boyz band. Listen up artists, educators, time-travellers, and everything in between!
