Is identity a springboard or burden in art? #1
A podcast listening (audio-only) party by Anthony Le
For Aqua Plums, I wanted to talk about identity in art. In 2022, my art is shifting away from identity or I don’t know if "away from identity” is the right term, but it’s less up front. I made that shift because I kind of had times where I felt like I had told too much.
I wanted to kind of pull in some clips from other podcasts that I thought felt really relevant to this topic and helped me come to terms with. I’ve linked the podcast and specific episodes mentioned below.
