episode 37 : ericka walker

In this episode Miranda speaks with Ericka Walker, an American born lithographer and muralist currently working as an Associate Professor of Art at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University in Halifax. Drawing from twentieth-century propaganda and historical documents, she creates a visual mixtape of North America’s past glories and its hubris. She is an artist who thinks deeply about the why and how of creating her works and is able to speak eloquently about it, letting us intimately into her process. In this interview we talk about how ideas of class, the value of labor, and our corporeal experience all inform the incredible prints and murals that she creates.Erick Walker's Websitehttps://www.erickawalker.com/Mesh Art Galleryhttp://meshartgallery.com/Shop Talkwww.patreon.com/helloprintfriendYOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouwMERCHwww.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriendWEBSITEwww.helloprintfriend.cominstagramwww.instagram.com/helloprintfriendprint galleryhelloprintfriend.com/print-gallery✨patreon✨www.patreon.com/helloprintfriendOur sponsor Speedballwww.speedballart.com
