Collaborating with others

from Queer & A · host Nadya Pohran

This episode’s podcast is all about collaborating with others. Kaitlin Carlson (she/her) and I start with a conversation about the research on collaborating with others. We then hear excerpts from the virtual artist residency in which Naledi Sunstrum (they/them), Charley Bouchard (they/them), and I chat through their two respective creative projects. Ok Naledi’s instrumental song track of the sound “Bones” is used with permission by Naledi — hear it in the intro and outro of this podcast.
