Show Notes
In today’s episode we talk to performance artist Yasmina Chavez and Aluminati metal caster Micah Haji-Sheikh about the legendary late Cuban-American artist Ana Mendieta. Chavez and Haji-Sheikh both took part in a sequence of Mendieta-themed activities at the Barrick Museum in mid-2022. Why is an artist who died in 1985 still such an inspirational presence? How do you build your own performance around her ideas? How do you stay safe when you're handling hot liquid metal? And who are the Aluminati? Find out with us.
