What does it mean to be both vulnerable and authentic as an artist in today’s creative landscape? How can we use art to process emotions, connect with our identity, and share stories that matter?

Join Art & Inquiry hosts MELO MELOGRAPHICS and Cat Catalyst Echo for a thought-provoking episode featuring the wildly talented artist Keyah. Known for her bold, experimental, and deeply personal works, Keyah opens up about the intersection of art and identity, the healing power of creativity, and how she balances themes like rawness, perfectionism, and imperfection in her craft.
