Authoritarian voters cosplay Rambo on the U.S. Southern border, literally hunting refugees and denying them basic human rights. Our interview this week features Lisa Molomot and Jeff Bemiss, the filmmakers behind the extraordinary must-watch Peabody Award-winning film Missing in Brooks County about the immigration crisis in America deliberately engineered for maximum cruelty by both Republican and Democratic leaders over the years, creating the world's deadliest border crossing. It does not have to be this way. In this discussion, you'll hear common sense solutions, unmasking an entrenched genocidal culture that has gone unchecked for far too long. Who was first in line to carry out the Holocaust? The authoritarian voter next door. Survivors described how their neighbors turned on them, throwing rocks through their windows. That's who Trump is appealing to, driving out people who have existed throughout history: longing for a strongman to crush their enemies, and put mouthy women, smug nonwhite people, those pesky gays, and don't forget entitled refugees in their place. These are the “vermin” Trump scapegoats as he travels the country, amplifying Russian disinformation, and consolidating his base: the authoritarian voter next door.  Reality Winner, the patriotic whistleblower who confirmed extensive Russian hacking of our election systems after government officials tried to downplay it, has faced far harsher punishment than violent coup plotter Trump with his 91 criminal indictments. The American people see the threat to our democracy clearly, which is why they've built resilient grassroots power that ushered in yet another historic Blue Wave. The latest victory in a long list: Dauphin County, PA flipped to Democratic control for the first time in 100 years. We the People have done significantly more to protect our democracy than Merrick Garland's DOJ.  Given the immense power we've shown, it's time to abolish the Electoral College, a monument to slavery, and agitate for other reforms to modernize the United States government. Gaslit Nation is working on a special series on how to Trump-proof our democracy, protecting us and future generations from his massive cult that ensures succession is guaranteed. Even after Trump is gone, another cultist will take his place. So it's time to expand our historic Blue Wave energy into overdue government reform. The nonsense press release from the Supreme Court pretending to care about ethics is not what we're talking about.  As a thank you to our Gaslit Nation community on Patreon, look out the weekend after Thanksgiving for a special MAKE ART workshop in the form of a podcast that you can download and try at your own leisure. We're all natural born artists, and this act of self-care and meaningful therapy reminds us that our voices matter and that we're needed now more than ever. In his brilliant resistance pocket guide On Tyranny, historian Timothy Snyder urges us to be visible, and that visibility comes through creativity, as we use our voice for our collective good. The model of this has always been embedded in this show that has featured interviews with extraordinary artists like Nelson George, a writer of the hip-hop movement and Andrea's longtime mentor, and filmmaker Oleg Sentsov who survived a Siberian prison by writing a novel, stories, and directing a film. Yes, art matters. Art is survival. And each of us, to navigate these civilization-making-or-breaking years ahead, can embrace our inner artist to create a sustainable, livable future together. Artists imagine and show that another world is possible. As Sentsov said on our show: Dictators die. Art is forever. Look out for that special MAKE ART workshop next week! To get access to that, bonus shows, all episodes ad free, and more, subscribe to join our community of listeners at Patreon.com/Gaslit  This week's bonus show will look at the latest in the Israel-Hamas war, troubling jumps in A.I., and answer questions from listeners at the Democracy Defender level and higher. Thank you to everyone who supports the show – we could not make Gaslit Nation without you!  If you're in NYC, stop by 42 Second Avenue, between 2nd & 3rd Streets, to see a giant photograph of a “car cemetery” in Irpin, Ukraine, an area that suffered greatly during the early days of Russia's total war genocide. The photographer is Phil Buehler, and more of his work can be seen here: https://modern-ruins.com/irpin-ukraine-please-dont-forget-us/ You can also join Andrea this Thursday at NYU to check out a talk by Terrell Starr of the Black Diplomats podcast.

He then posted the same message on Truth Social, including the word "vermin" often used by Hitler and Mussolini to denigrate Jews and their political enemies. Trump went on to say that "the threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous and grave than the threat from within." The big picture: Trump's increasingly violent rhetoric — calling for a U.S. military leader to be executed, mocking a near-fatal assault on a congressional spouse, urging police to shoot potential shoplifters — has become a staple of his brand as he faces the threat of conviction in four different criminal cases.” https://www.axios.com/2023/11/13/trump-vermin-fascist-language-speech “The institutional right is screening a “pro-Trump army of up to 54,000 loyalists” that, if elected, Trump plans to use to unleash DOJ on his political enemies, create deportation camps for millions of immigrants, and generally turn his whim into law.”  https://twitter.com/MattGertz/status/1724037010183123157 We encourage you to check out the sponsor of this week's episode:  Our listeners can go to HelloFresh.com/gaslitfree and use code “gaslitfree” for FREE breakfast for life!

For the fifth episode of How To Be An Artist, Kate Bryan speaks to artist and creator of the iconic characters Flyboy and Lil Mama: Hebru Brantley. Heavily influenced by the murals and graffiti work of Chicago's South Side in the 1960s and 1970s, he continues to work within those traditions to explore themes of nostalgia, power, and hope. In this conversation, Brantley talks about the significance that anime, comic books and manga had on his childhood. He also shares what it was like to collaborate with the likes of Nike and Cadillac, and his immersive installation, ‘Nevermore Park'. Brantley's work has been showcased internationally, featuring in global art exhibits including Art Basel Switzerland, Art Basel Miami, and Frieze London. His work will also soon feature as part of a new Soho House site in the US.

Up next in Soho House's How To Be An Artist series is Berlin-based Jorinde Voigt. Primarily recognised for her large-scale abstract drawings, Voigt's work is heavily influenced by musical notation, philosophical texts, and sensory information. In her discussion with Kate Bryan, she explains why she stepped away from using photography as part of her practice, and the continued impact her early studies in music have on the work that she creates. Voigt's work features in prominent international museums and public collections, including Centre Pompidou (Paris),Kupferstichkabinett Berlin, and The British Museum (London). Three of her drawings can also be found on display in Soho House Berlin.

In this week's episode of How To Be An Artist, Kate Bryan speaks to American artist Xaviera Simmons. Based in New York, her work spans photography, performance, video, sound, sculpture, and mixed media. Bryan sits down with Simmons to discuss racial injustice, her attitudes to craft, and how art can be a part of the critique of power systems. Simmons' works can be found in major museums, including The Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Her artwork features in Ludlow House – and soon in Shoreditch House – as part of Soho House's permanent art collection.

For the second episode of How To Be An Artist, Kate Bryan is joined by the Dutch artists Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta, founders of Drift. Having worked side by side for more than 10 years, the duo discuss how they incorporate technology into their practice and what humans can learn from swarming starlings. Based in Amsterdam, Drift comprises a multidisciplinary team of more than 50 people creating experiential sculptures, installations, and performances. Their work has been exhibited in numerous institutions, including The Victoria and Albert Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. An iteration of their renowned and ongoing Fragile Future series can also be found in Soho House Amsterdam.

For the first episode of How To Be An Artist, host Kate Bryan chats to British artist Idris Khan. He reflects on the moment he sold his artwork to Charles Saatchi as a fresh art graduate, and discusses the importance of doubt as part of the creative process. Based in London, Khan works in various media, drawing from a diverse range of cultural sources, including music, philosophy, literature, and religion. In 2017, he received an OBE for his services to art. Khan's artwork can also be found in our Houses: Little House Mayfair, DUMBO House, Soho House New York, 40 Greek Street, Shoreditch House, and Soho House Rome (opening soon).

Ever wondered what life is like as a Drag Queen?!This week, I talked to Miss Anita Tension (if read properly, sounds like "I need attention" and pun fully intended by her) about what it takes to transform herself into a Drag Queen, and let's just say it got very juicy! We had a blast, and even cried-laughed at some point at one of her stories involving eyebrows (or the lack thereof). We also talked about sexuality, feeling beautiful, confident and included some tips from the makeup queen herself. I hope you enjoy hearing this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it and it too brings you happy tears. Follow Anita on IG to catch her performances and sexy af pictures:https://www.instagram.com/_anita.tension/ And remember to tune in to our IG on Thursdays for live interviews:https://www.instagram.com/prettysurepodcast

In the age of Rotten Tomatoes, likes, and shares, we are all critics. But a rarified few have transcended the trends and held onto a corner of the zeitgeist. No American critic has been more successful at this than New York Magazine’s Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic, Jerry Saltz. In his new book HOW TO BE AN ARTIST, he distills his life into a mission statement of sorts. On this episode we chat with Jerry from his quarantine hideout where he’s holed up with his wife, New York Times art critic, Roberta Smith.

HOW TO BE AN ARTIST is an inspiring guide to leading a more creative life, by Jerry Saltz, the senior art critic at New York magazine and winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in Criticism.

What's the point of art? What can it do for us in times like these? What does it demand, and could it save us? Dr. Alan Campbell digs into these questions with doctor-doctor-doctor Jerry Saltz, art critic and author of How to be An Artist.

In Episode 4, we hear from Jerry Saltz about how he went from life as 'a failed artist' to long-haul truck driver to renowned art critic, and about his new book, How To Be An Artist. Jerry Saltz is the senior art critic at New York magazine and its entertainment site, Vulture. He won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in Criticism and a 2019 National Magazine Award. Before joining New York in 2007, he was art critic for The Village Voice where he was twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. A frequent guest lecturer, he has spoken at the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim, the Whitney Museum and many other major galleries. How To Be an Artist formed out of a story in NY magazine in 2018 - which has now been read now by more than 600,000 people - which contained 33 rules for life as an artist. The book has 63 rules: warm, funny, sometimes brutal truths about what it takes to make a life in art, and why it's so rewarding. This conversation was recorded online via Zoom so the sound quality is a little variable - but Jerry's enthusiasm is so infectious you won't notice.

Inspired by the New York Magazine article HOW TO BE AN ARTIST by Jerry Saltz and the mixed feelings from the audiences of the GAME OF THRONES television series, host Nicole Rivera discusses the idea that what we don’t like is as important as what we do like. Whether we are looking for readers or collaborators, knowing what we don’t like can be helpful information. Also recognizing that not everyone is going to like what we do can be liberating as a creative. Nicole discusses these ideas at length and gives listeners some homework which will be followed up on in the Stop Writing Alone facebook community.     Mentioned in this episode: *Any links to Amazon are affiliate links.

Richard Prince recently stirred up the photography/Instagram world when he controversially modified Instagram photographs as his latest work and sold them for upward of $90k a piece. Does this blow your mind? Possibly make you angry? Well get ready. In this video I’m going to give an overview of how the high-end art market works. The art market has become very attractive to investors in recent years for a variety of reasons. According to Bloomberg, this has snowballed into a global $54 Billion industry. Who are the artists? Who are the investors? How does this work? These are some of the questions I will try to answer in this video. The art market is rarely discussed in the media unless there is a lawsuit. I think that’s why its important to have this conversation. When it comes to huge money, very few of us understand how art as a business actually works.

As a followup to last week’s topic of making a career in commercial photography – this week I’ve been asked the obvious next question. What about fine art as a career for photography? This is a tough question to answer as its not unlike coming up with a strategy to be a rock star. Its near impossible if you don’t have the talent and the stomach to work for a long time. In this video I will explain.
