Is this mic on? Are we officially live with season 2 of Unraveling?? You knowwwww itttt.

Hola mi gente!!! Thank you for all the love, support, and patience with launching season 2. I am so excited to release this second episode of the season, featuring Alycia Bright Holland and Lauren Sandler. On this episode, we talk about our collaboration on a multi-layered project that honors the Women's House of Detention (a jail and a prison, located in Greenwich Village, NYC) through a co-created exhibition, play, writing, and now, podcast. Riffing off the book, The Women' House of Detention: A Queer History of a Forgotten Prison by Hugh Ryan, the three of us unpack how the content of this prison reshaped how we think about erasure and inspired this collaboration.

Visit the gallery to see the exhibition and the theatre performance before April 27

Wasssssssup mi familia. Lo siento for the long wait but I promise it is worth it. We are back with a new episode on art binaries and the ways we (and the field overall) pin different processes/schools of thought against one another. Throughout this solo episode, we'll unpack the ways I see a few of these binaries show up and possibly unravel why they prevail. In addition, I am trying something new and including Gerald's picks/easter eggs at the end of each episode. Enjoy <3

As always, thank you for your continuous love and support. HUGE THANK YOU TO MY INCREDIBLE PATRONS ON PATREON. THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN ME.

In addition to episodes that are public on all podcast platforms, Patreon subscribers will get exclusive access to bonus content, including 1n1 video interviews with different artists across fields. To give you a sample of what I envision, here is a small snippet from an upcoming 1n1 episode with emerging artist, Victoria Walton. A close friend and fellow clay lover, Victoria is a figurative ceramic sculptor, who is a 2nd year grad student at Alfred University. It is a true honor and pleasure to help tell Victoria's story as one of the greatest makers of our time. Enjoy the video clip on Spotify and audio clip on all platforms. 

Full episode releases in Jan 2023 on Unraveling Pod's Patreon. Subscribe for as low as $3. In the meantime, learn more about Victoria and her practice on instagram @victoriawaltonstudio. 

Last week’s episode was alllllll about joy and Black nerd banter. This episode follows suit and is all about play featuring an amazing artist and curator, Chelsey Luster. Throughout the conversation, we explore how play acts as a form of creative ingenuity as well as resistance against external forces. Analyzing uses of collage, color, tiktok and paper as some of the many great processes to help keep the juices flowing and the work as playful as humanly possible.
