In this episode, we heard from artists Naledi Sunstrum and Charley Bouchard during their participation in Queer & A’s virtual artist residency, in which both artists were given the prompt to create art on the topic of queerness and spirituality -- whatever that meant to them and however they wanted to explore it. Naledi ended up writing two songs, one on Ruth and Naomi and one on David and Jonathan, and Charley focused on a play called Transgendent. We also heard a summary with Kaitlin Carlson about research on the topic of how to know when a work is finished. And speaking of work being finished, this series is almost up! We have one final episode left and in that episode we are going to hear retrospectives from the two artists about what it was like to create art throughout this residency, and you’ll also hear more of the artist projects themselves. Permissions: The instrumental of the song “Bones” by OKNaledi is used with permission in the Intro and Outro of this podcast. Check out the full version here.
