This week on Explain Me,co-hosts William Powhida and Paddy Johnson talk to arts organizers and activists Heather Bhandari and Nikki Columbus approximately the challenges for mothers during the pandemic, and the challenges for arts workers seeking to build changes to a system that no longer works for them. Of the family-focused topics discussed we remove on pandemic screen time for kids (Bhandari describes DinoTrux as terrible for kids, or but a necessary evil),what to do if your toddler licks a bodega door, and disrupted schedules that build it impossible to find or spy for work and require long and often strange hours. On the subject of organizing we discuss several projects spearheaded by Bhandari and Columbus respectively designed to pave actionable paths for artists. Finally we discuss Frieze current York, and contrast their dubious charity efforts during the fair to the more collective NADA art fair model that works towards a sustainable model for everyone. prove links below.
