En este episodio, tuvimos el placer de conversar con Mazatl (@_mazatli_). Mazatl es conocido por su impresionantes murales y grabados en relieve con un estilo distintivo y autodidacta que hacen gran presencia en Instagram. Hablamos de crecer en México en una ciudad natal plagada de drogas y violencia mientras encontraba un sentido de libertad en la escena punk y, por supuesto, el arte. Hablaremos del arte como activismo, el arte para decir tu verdad, la importancia de los colectivos, el ocultar nuestro rostro para abrir nuestros corazones y la comunidad del arte callejero. Este episodio fue grabado hace más de un año cuando recién empezábamos las colaboraciones bilingües en el podcast y pues, quería revisitarlo con ustedes.

They talk about her practice for the last decade of painstakingly creating hand-formed sculptures of snow and ice and the process of documenting them, how her MFA in printmaking evolved into this practice, what it is like to have a practice so reliant on the weather, and how she’s been forced to adapt as our winters get warmer.Kathy's Website:http://www.kathrynvajda.com/YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouwMERCHwww.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriendWEBSITEwww.helloprintfriend.comInstagramwww.instagram.com/helloprintfriend✨patreon✨www.patreon.com/helloprintfriendOur sponsor, Speedballwww.speedballart.comOur sponsor, McClainswww.imcclains.com

En el programa de hoy Reinaldo (@RGZprints) estará conversando con KOZ DOS (@kozdos) artista muralista venezolano y reciente explorador de la gráfica nacido en el barrio Niño Jesús de la ciudad de Caracas. Conversaremos sobre esa rama creativa que corre dentro de su familia pero que no se desarrolló profesionalmente hasta que él se convirtió en artista plástico. KOZ DOS relatará sobre el cambio a las artes en su último semestre en la carrera de informática y como ha venido desarrollando un estilo icónico que mezcla el realismo, la geometría y el diseño inspirado por la conciencia colectiva desde un plano personal. KOZ DOS es uno de los artistas venezolanos más importantes del momento, pero humildemente ese crédito lo enfoca más en el trabajo que en el reconocimiento. Hablaremos de la importancia de contar con una buena compañera de vida y el orgullo de ser venezolano mientras transforma estructuras urbanas alrededor del mundo.YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouwMERCHwww.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriendWEBSITEwww.helloprintfriend.cominstagramwww.instagram.com/helloprintfriendprint galleryhelloprintfriend.com/print-gallery✨patreon✨www.patreon.com/helloprintfriendOur sponsor Speedballwww.speedballart.com
