Holding Space with Kate Warren
from Strong Feelings Hosted by Katel LeDû & Sara Wachter-Boettcher
What do a sex podcast, a photography practice, and hanging out with witches have in common? They’re all part of Kate Warren’s jam-packed schedule. This week, we talk to the DC-based photographer, artist, and podcast host about using art to elevate conversations around race and gender, trading a 90-hour-a-week job in marketing for building her own multifaceted business, and what it’s like to immerse herself in contemporary witchcraft communities for a story… and have it change her life. > It is absolutely paramount to me that I prioritize holding space for people to share their own stories in whatever way they feel best represents them and not tell their stories on their behalf… And so when I’m going into spaces like the trans community, I am making sure that I am communicating my mission and vision and intent and I’m treating my subjects as the collaborators that they are and not just a person to stand in front of the camera and be taken advantage of. > —Kate Warren, photographer and host of Insert Here Follow Kate: Website | Insta | Podcast Also in this episode: What to do when you’re doing too much “Less this, more that” in 2019 (check out our inspiration on The Cut, and their inspiration on Insta) Shedding a tear for the last season of Broad City—but fuck yeah to collaborating with your BFF Oh, and if you do the “less this, more that” exercise we talk about?
