For this episode, artist Alexandra Phillips takes the listener along on parts of her roadtrip through the Southeast regions of the U.S.A. where she was raised. A journey intended as an exploration of the many histories specific to this area, including her own. Histories that survive, have been erased, or hold the potential for a new way of looking and listening to loaded surroundings such as these.

Alexandra brought with her to The Listening Tide a large amount of the recordings she made while on this trip, and during the conversation that followed she speaks about the enduring presence of the history of slavery, the merits of autonomous artistic practice, and the spiritual aspects of language, change and creation.

NOTE: a transcript of the conversation between Alexandra and Joe Minter is available here.
