An interview with Diana (Didi) Contreras, one of the most renown mural artists in Miami. Born in Peru, growing up in Miami and graduating From Florida International University, made Didi Miami thru and thru. She is best known for her mural work in Dubai and Miami, but Didi also creates beautiful canvases. Her style is decidedly feminine – exotic fairy-like women with flowing hair and flowers and waves trailing in their perfumed wake. In a September 2021 article in Hola magazine, Contreras was named a “Top 100 Latina Powerhouse.”  The magazine referred to her as the “the queen of the urban art scene.”  In the podcast, FIU students Claudia Cuartas and Axelle Bennett with support of UCAB students from Venezuela Karina Palacios and Araitz Berecibar, discuss Didi’s inspiration, the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on her work, and her future projects.

This exploring art podcast focuses on a piece in Hamlet emphasizing storytelling. The creative process of art shown in this piece provides a narrative told by each character and the events that have taken place. Hamlet’s goal is to make us feel something. This then relates to our chapter entitled “Puzzles About Art” in it’s emphasis on the audience’s response to the piece.

The Three Art Amigos went on a rant about how minimal art is taking over the world. They also mentioned how early philosophers like Richard Wollhiem and Mallarme don't get enough credit for their work. The main squeeze of their first podcast was about a strange case of writer's block. They talked about different ways to escape the funk and if nothing is actually enough.

In today’s podcast episode “Is it Magic or Is it Art '' we discuss whether Tristan Tzar’s work in Tom Stoppard’s play, Travesties, is poetry considering he simply cut up Shakespeare’s 18th sonnet and pulled words out of a hat to create his work. We’ll also discuss whether a young girl’s inspired work is poetry as well. Are both of these works original or is this a case of the copycats? Join us in the discussion as we analyze several philosophers’ perspectives leading to a series of questions about what is to be considered art.

In 1964, Ben Vautier sat down with a placard saying, “Look at me. That’s all it takes; I’m art,” written in French and took a photo. This makes us wonder whether man can truly be considered art, and even further, what actually defines the term art? In today’s episode, Alton Giventer and Ashley Marin take a look at this photograph and discuss Vautier’s statement, along with the questions it brings up. Is art something subjective and up to each person’s individual preference, or are there certain characteristics that can be used to identify something as artwork? Join us to hear Alton and Ashley discuss these questions that help shape the way we view art in general.
