Taja Tuesday Artist Talk | Behind the Mic

Last year Taja launched the Birth Justice Podcast NYC.

This year Taja launched II XI XX (two | eleven | twenty).

Both podcasts function as creative process for two distinct, multi-platform, interdisciplinary projects.

Tune in next Tuesday for this month's edition of Taja Tuesday Artist Talk, where she’ll be discussing how she uses podcasting as a form to work out concepts and as a method for creative research and development. Taja will also be sharing some exciting announcements about season 2 of the Birth Justice Podcast NYC that she will *not* be sharing publicly until 2022.

This is a Patreon exclusive event so be sure to register at the Creative Conversation Patron level ($17/month) or above to attend! These sessions are recorded and uploaded into Patreon for folks who are unable to attend the live event.

Taja Tuesday Artist Talk | Beyond Selling Our Time

We currently live in an economic system that, by and large, does not support artists except when they create something for sale. The US economy could do more to support living artists beyond what they produce, but given the current systems and structures, many artists engage in the gig economy and take on jobs (full time, part time, consulting) to sustain themselves and invest in their work.

In this month’s Taja Tuesday Artist Talk, Taja will be sharing how she make sense and meaning of her paid gig work, and the ways in which that work has informed and inspired her creative projects to date. She’ll also be sharing her visions and hopes to sustain herself beyond the gig economy. After the talk, she’ll open up the Q&A space for dialogue and dreamstorming for how we can all move beyond selling our time.

Taja Tuesday Artist Talk | Writing Ritual & Creative Practice

Sacred living and daily ritual are an integral part of Taja's creative praxis. In this month’s Taja Tuesday Artist Talks, she’ll be sharing how her regular journaling practice has informed, supported, and inspired three of her works: The Bag Lady Manifesta, Re-Membering is the Responsibility of the Living, and II XI XX (two | eleven | twenty) biomythography project.

Tune in to hear how memory, writing and ritual convene in her heart, hands and body to create art concerned with healing, freedom, and liberation.
