American Craft Podcast Launches (and I helped)!
American Craft Podcast launched and I helped make it happen.
In February of 2021 I sent an email, an important email because it was my first step towards becoming a freelance audio journalist. (my current dream/aspiration) My work with the Perceived Value Podcast fulfilled my need to connect with my greater creative community but more so, helped me understand that sharing other’s stories is a true passion of mine.
I wrote an email asking for a meeting and in that meeting I let it be known that I wanted a chance. A chance to take the skills that I have honed through Perceived Value and apply them to a new project and new community. I pitched, I negotiated, and I earned an opportunity. This trailer is the first glimpse into Object As…a special podcast series for the American Craft Podcast. Please subscribe wherever you listen so that in the coming weeks the six episodes to be released bi-weekly will make their way to your podcast feed.
As always, thank you for listening.
Object As…
Objects speak to our current cultural, political, societal, environmental, and social climates. Objects can serve as a form of resistance, as commentary on today’s world’s issues. Objects can be acts of rebellion, civic disruption, and speak to the future. Objects can create new conversations.
Six artists were commissioned to create an object to carry ideas that are relevant to them today. Through one-on-one interviews with host Sarah Rachel Brown, you will hear each artist speak to how these objects came into being and what they mean to the maker.
This project is just one part of a larger effort to use our organization's platforms and channels of communication to help illuminate and dismantle systemic racism, oppression, global warming, political issues, and continue exploring how the practices of craft can help build a better world for everyone.
Created with Sarah Rachel Brown of the Perceived Value podcast our first 6 podcast episodes focused around the Object As…project. Starting on Friday April 15th, a new episode will be released every other Friday. Find the American Craft Podcast and subscribe wherever you listen.
Let the conversations begin!
