The Music of Grief with Daphne Brooks

Featuring provocative conversations with artists, creators, mental health professionals, spiritual guides and everyday people exploring the many forms of loss and grief, and the different ways we use art to cope with those feelings. The Art of Grief delves into how art is made and forged through grief, as well as how art transforms and ameliorates our experiences of loss and mourning. 

Co-hosted by podcast veteran, author and the chair of USC's Gender & Sexuality Studies department, Dr. Karen Tongson, and Dr. Megan Auster-Rosen, a clinical psychologist and former Associate Medical Director of Behavioral Health at Cedars Sinai, the show is led by two queer voices who are not only experts in their fields, but also close-friends whose bond was formed by processing their histories of grief.
