Episode 171: My Angst on Music and the Written Word, by Tomas Baiza, Rebecca Evans, and Christian Winn

Three Angsty Poets gathered, initially chatting about poetry, but the chatting turned to ranting. The ranting turned to rage.

This episode brings their discussion to My Angst on Music and the Written Word.

Episode 167: My Conversation with Dría de Dóchas - MING Artist Interview

Dría de Dóchas is a trans-femme Latinx creative worker and interdisciplinary artist whose practice responds to imperial and colonial violence on the Earth and its inhabitants. A significant body of her work surrounds her alter ego and drag persona, the Dryad, and their existential journey as a queer embodiment of the Earth during the late stages of capitalism. Through the means and materials available to her, de Dóchas seeks to cultivate a sense of solidarity and kinship across different forms and walks of life, challenging Eurocentric notions of social, political, and economic value.

Dría attended the University of New Mexico, earning an MFA from the Art + Ecology program in the spring of 2022. Her work has been exhibited and published both nationally and internationally—most notably in the 2022 Venice Biennale—and she has contributed to and performed in internationally-exhibited, award-winning films. Dría currently teaches courses at Boise State University and The College of Idaho.
