Join us on  an eclectic jaunt with artist Emily Carris-Duncan and host Katleho Kano Shoro. Emily Carris-Duncan is an artist, a budding agriculturalist, and co-founder of the Art Dept in Philadelphia who is now based in Vermont. In this conversation, Emily describes how she transforms rocks into color, how she uses histories of black crafting to transform absence into ancestry, and her plans as a space-maker to someday build a ship out of here.

This podcast was created at the Center for Experimental Ethnography at the University of Pennsylvania, a multimodal research hub that views creative practice as intellectual work that necessarily historicizes the inequalities that pervade our society, and that develops solutions for their present iterations through collaborative and participatory work.

This season was produced in connection to 2023 exhibit, "Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America", an AAMP and PAFA collaboration curated by Dejay Duckett (AAMP), Judith Tannenbaum (PAFA), Mekhala Signal (PAFA), Michael Wilson (AAMP). This exhibit brings together 20 artists to respond to the question: Is the sun rising or setting on the experiment of American democracy? The exhibit runs March 23 through Oct 8 of 2023 at the Historic Landmark Building in Philadelphia.
