Post-Election Special

This special post-election episode of 2MF features a conversation with 2MF alums Amy Beecher and Joshua Smith. The artists speak with hosts Sonya Derman and Maria Stabio about how the election of Trump has affected their outlooks as artists and as political actors. Managing one’s emotional state while maintaining a consistent level of outrage — can it be done? We also revisit the artist Lee Lozano and her words “human first, artist second”. We wrap up with a humorous look at Cathy comics contrasted with Hillary Clinton and how both constantly negotiate with the patriarchy, unsuccessfully. Music on this episode is That Right Ain’t Shit by The Books.
