This week Miranda speaks with Christie Tirado, a first-generation Mexican American artist, educator, and third-year MFA candidate at UW–Madison.

They talk about leaving a stable teaching career to go back to grad school, building community wherever you land, and how labor, in the field, in the kitchen, and in the studio, becomes an archive. Plus: the print gods, when to walk away after two messed-up prints, and why you should absolutely pair printmaking with salsa dancing whenever possible.
