On this episode, we talk with Anna Rajagopal about being Houston’s biggest fan and the significance of our geographic homes, about loving and losing - especially in relation to Queer community, and the power of art and joy as resistance. 

We discuss Anna’s pieces about their friend and community member Audrey, those can be found HERE and HERE.

We also talk about their poem Alona Naomi, which can be found HERE.

Anna asked us to highlight the Instagram art page Art Auction for Palestine and talks about For the People, the queer/BIPOC Houston show management page. They have a show coming up in October if you are Houston based!

They recently had their writing featured as an art piece at the Everything Is Special Art Show by Hotel Chlorine.

If you want to read more of their published writing, you can find it here.

Join us next week as we talk to Micah Bazant (they/them), a visual artist and cultural strategist who works with social justice movements to reimagine the world.

As usual, shoutout to Nate for our podcast music and shoutout to Jessie for editing the podcast!
