Episode 20: Ty Defoe - Story Nurturer

We're back with a brand new episode of our podcast, which was recorded LIVE at the 2019 #LCEForum in front of an audience of dedicated artists and educators. In Episode 20, "Story Nurturer", following a delightful and enlightening introduction by LCE’s Alex Sarian, Courtney sits down with indigenous self-proclaimed “interdisciplinary shapeshifting” artist and storyteller, Ty Defoe, of the Ojibwe and Oneida Nations. In this woven tapestry of a conversation, Courtney and Ty navigate through a lot of incredibly fascinating topics including the presence of the arts in Ty’s childhood, indigeneity, colonialism, how we are all connected through and because of art. Courtney also poses the question to the audience, “Are Teaching Artists shapeshifters?” You don’t want to miss this one, folx!
