Natasha Marin (non-fiction and conceptual artist) was our guest on Episode 7 of Season 2 of Black Writers Read, which was livestreamed on Juneteenth ~ June 19, 2022.
With cultural origins and connections to Trinadad, Canada, and the United States, Natasha Marin’s people-centered projects have circled the globe since 2012. As a writer, Natasha is represented by Janklow & Nesbit. Natasha has been recognized and acknowledged by Art Forum, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, NBC, Al Jazeera, Vice, PBS and others. She is the curator of BLACK IMAGINATION which was published by McSweeney’s in 2020. Excerpts from this book recently appeared in The Paris Review and Poetry Daily. During this episode of Black Writers Read, she read excerpts from Black Imagination and her forthcoming collection, Black Powerful: Black Voices Reimagine Revolution which has already received a significant amount of praise. It was such a privilege to host Natasha for the beginning of her press tour for the book, Black Powerful. Published by McSweeney’s, Black Powerful is out today, September 6 – which is my rationale for sharing this particular episode today.
Thank you so much to Amanda Choo Quan for introducing us to Natasha.
