YBCA 10 Podcast
At the intersection of art and activism stands the 10 – a multidisciplinary cohort of artists brought together by YBCA. This podcast is dedicated to highlighting each member of the YBCA 10, making space for pivotal conversations about their cultural motivations, civic engagement, and how each are designing creative prototypes that directly address racial justice and climate equity for the betterment of community health and well-being.
Where to listen:
YBCA 10 Podcast: Dorothy Santos
“A lot of my own practice, I make things based on feeling because sometimes that’s where the greatest kernels or nuggets come from.”
YBCA 10 Podcast: Leticia Hernández-Linares
“…this has been one of the biggest honors and gifts that I’ve received and the timing of it couldn’t have been better. I think it’s a gift to be able to have all this time with such an amazing group, not just the 10, but everybody who’s part of this.”
YBCA 10 Podcast: Alex J. Bledsoe
“We have a lot to learn from one another, especially when we’re tapping into our ancestral roots and our understanding of the land and our connections with land.”
YBCA 10 Podcast: Darryl Ratcliff
“Sometimes I say I do the work of justice because I’m actually really interested in being free. And every time I try to be free, I run into these structures that keep getting the way of me being as free as I want to be.”
