Episode 9: Less Emails, Less Jobs, More Money w/ Ella Ray

<p>In this episode, we sit down with writer, artist, and art historian Ella Ray about Artist BIOS, their arts origin story, the ongoing love affair and war with Art History, light-skinned/mixed privilege in the arts, and hustling/finessing the bag from institutions. We also talk about the particular challenges and magic of arting while Black in Portland as well as some of Ella’s art projects for 2020. We then wax poetic about Southern rap, as well as the nuances of Black artists creating content on internet platforms, and the cross-section of technology and Black performance.</p> <p> </p> <p>The artist-scholars we reference at the [1:05:55] mark are <a href='https://www.pica.org/artists/madison-moore-2/'>madison moore</a> and <a href='https://www.pica.org/artists/bart-fitzgerald/'>bart fitzgerald </a></p> <p> </p> <p>Find Ella Ray at:</p> <p>IG/Twitter: @yaralle</p> <p>Read more about Ella Ray: <a href='https://www.orartswatch.org/vision-2020-ella-ray/'>https://www.orartswatch.org/vision-2020-ella-ray/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Follow us on IG:  @NatTurnerProject </p> <p>Facebook: /NatTurnerProject</p> <p>Twitter:  @whoallgonbethe1</p> <p> </p> <p>Become a patreon: <a href='https://www.patreon.com/natturnerproject'>https://patreon.com/natturnerproject</a></p> <p>Buy NTP merch: <a href='https://www.etsy.com/shop/NatTurnerProject'>https://www.etsy.com/shop/NatTurnerProject</a></p>
