Erica Lord (Athabaskan, Iñupiat, Finnish, Swedish, Japanese, English) talks with host Matthew Chase-Daniel about ethnicity and culture, living in new places with new norms, using her body as a reference point for making art about the world, objects and performance, Nanook of the North, bead weaving, diabetes, how we look to others, and how to follow our instincts to make heartfelt art in a challenging and changing world.

A rare repeat guest on the show, David Horvitz (artist, friend, and the face of mood disorder) walks the 7th Avenue Garden in Los Angeles with host Matthew Chase-Daniel to talk about his works in Reclaiming the Future at the Vladem Contemporary Museum in Santa Fe as well as his Wikipedia-insertion artworks, the earth and the stars, Sayre Gomez, Mission Burritos, volunteer plants in empty lots and compost piles, Sister Corita Kent, Bouillabaisse, seashells, rebar and rubble, and the beach.

Santa Fe Mayor Michael Garcia invites host Matthew Chase-Daniel into his office in City Hall where they chat about his goals as Mayor, our arts economy, local cultural values, tourism, the possible future of the Warehouse 21 building, the Midtown Campus, Growth, Water, affordable housing, the hunger among visitors to participate in authentic experiences that don’t exist elsewhere, and and how it is important to work together across Northern New Mexico with our diversity of towns, cities, and tribal communities.
