QueerSpace In Memoriam: Saxophones on the Moon


Listen Later

We were devastated when we heard of Nikki Giovanni's passing earlier this week. Her poetry evokes life on Earth and in the universe in such a beautiful, thoughtful and inclusive way. We are in the process of sharing our favorite episodes from the past and felt it was fitting to bring you back our QueerSpace episode featuring Nikki among other futurist artists.  

When researching QueerSpace, we repeatedly saw creators blending themes of space and themes of queerness in their art. Many of these artists use their art to envision new futures. Futurist thinking uses the experience of the past and present to contextualize and reimagine what the future could be, often creating a future that’s more equitable and radically different than what we have now.

Thanks to our guests in this Episode:

  • Nikki Giovanni, Futurist Artist
  • Lola Flash, Futurist Artist
  • Stamatina Gregory, Chief Curator and Director of Exhibitions and Collections at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art
  • AirSpace Season 10 is just around the corner! Stay tuned through December as we revisit team favorites. New episodes drop starting January 9.
