Hello! We are wrapping up our first season with a conversation between us three co-founders here at Other Border Wall Project and Podcast - Tereneh Idia, Leah Patgorski, and Jennifer Nagle Myers. We are sharing our thoughts on the many creative pivots we had to do in 2020 and what it all felt like, as well as more in depth conversation about what our own creative practices look like. Join us! And here's a deeper look into who we are individually and what we do.... Tereneh Idia...works on issues of social justice especially in environment, design, arts and culture as designer and writer. She launched IdiaDega, a global eco-design collaboration of Indigenous women artisans in 2014 and became a journalist in 2018. The IdiaDega eco-design collaboration has presented work in Amsterdam, Paris, New York City, Nairobi, Copenhagen and Pittsburgh, including exhibitions at August Wilson African American Cultural Center, The Frick Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse and the Carnegie Museum of Art. Tereneh was Pittsburgh Style Week’s Designer of the Year for 2019, an inductee into the Taylor Allderdice High School Hall of Fame inductee and awarded the Carol R. Brown Creative Achievement Award for Emerging Artist. As a writer, Tereneh began publishing regularly in 2018 and her work has appeared in Pittsburgh City Paper, Pittsburgh PublicSource, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - among others, she is a multiple award-winning writer: Winner of the Golden Quill 2019 and 2020 for best columnist in daily paper and nominated again in 2021; The Robert L Vann Pittsburgh Black Media Federation Award; and the Billy Manes Award in 2020. https://www.idiadega.com/ Leah Patgorski...is a Pittsburgh-based artist who was born in Virginia Beach, VA. She earned a degree in Architecture at the University of Virginia followed by an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her studio practice includes sculptures, partitions, and painting-like objects made of textiles. Her work process moves back and forth between rule-following and improv, color experiments and found hues, and it reflects on intangibles like growth, loss, intimacy, shadows, and the history behind materials. Leah enjoys collaboration with other artists and designers in order to realize large-scale projects. She is part of a collective known as Other Border Wall that is focused on creative resistance to harmful border practices. She has also been exhibiting her individual work with many venues over the years including the Strohl Arts Center in Chautauqua, NY; Westmoreland Museum of American Art in Greensburg, PA; and ADDS DONNA in Chicago, IL. https://leahpatgorski.com/ Jennifer Nagle Myers...is an artist and collaborator based in Southeastern VA after living almost ten years in Pittsburgh. She is mostly interested in the crossover between sculpture and drawing and how that can express the connection and continued desecration of our human imprint on earth. Working outdoors and/or with natural materials as much as possible allows her to establish and maintain a working reciprocal relationship with the earth. She received her BA from Hampshire College and MFA in Intermedia/Drawing from the University of Iowa. Her work has been shown at the Carnegie Museum of Art,The Sculpture Center, The International Print Center, The Institute of Contemporary Art at MECA, and MUDAC in Lausanne, Switzerland, and original performance works have premiered at The New Hazlett Theater, The Festival for New Music, and the Kelly Strayhorn Theater. She continues to collaborate with artists and visionaries in other fields especially with her most VIP muses, the dancers. www.jennifernaglemyers.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/otherborderwall/message

Naina's unique style of Kathak evokes a soft and subtle restraint combined with sharp lines and crisp footwork. Hailing from Philadelphia, PA, USA and now currently residing in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, she is a founding member and Head Faculty of the Pittsburgh branch of the Courtyard Dancers, founded in 2000, and has been a fixture in the Pittsburgh dance community since 2004.

Naina has also been performed on international television and was featured in J.J. Tiziou's photographic installation “How Philly Moves”. In Pittsburgh, Naina offers a rigorous Kathak curriculum for all levels in addition to leading a strong performance group she's lucky to know. Currently Naina is calling for contributors and is in the nascent phase of establishing an upcoming Kathak Festival Bells of Steel (a nod to the steel town of Pittsburgh) in the Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia region. She is deep in the weeds of grant writing and establishing local connections. Naina was recently invited as a guest panelist to discuss “Immigration and the Arts” by Kelly Strayhorn Theater.

“I got into art-making because I want show the different ways that people show up in the world, and to represent voices that are often not heard,” says janera solomon, executive director of the Kelly Strayhorn Theater. That aim has never been needed more than now, as her neighborhood grapples with rapid change and the risk of cultural erasure. In the past decade, Pittsburgh’s historic East Liberty community has seen big-name tech companies set up shop in former warehouses, heated controversies ignited about affordable housing, and black-owned businesses priced out of their long-time locations. Steady through it all has been janera and the Kelly Strayhorn Theater, named for native sons/entertainment legends Gene Kelly and Billy Strayhorn. In addition to her passion for bringing world-class art to her city and giving agency to often underrepresented voices, janera champions a belief in the power of art to address the big issues of our day. “If we’re going to make the case that our art – and our arts organizations - are important, they have to be more important than just for art’s sake,” says janera. “We have a responsibility to show up for all of the issues that are impacting our communities, and to bring all of our creativity, imagination and rigor to the table.” Hear janera explain the role her immigration story plays in her artistic vision, the three things she believes today’s art world must consider, and how her mom taught her to look fear in the eye – all in this episode of “We Can Be.” “We Can Be” is hosted by The Heinz Endowments President Grant Oliphant, and produced by the Endowments and Treehouse Media. Theme music by Josh Slifkin, with incidental music by Giuseppe Capolupo. Guest image by Josh Franzos. Guest inquiries: Scott Roller at sroller@heinz.org.
Hear from janera solomon, Executive Director of Kelly Strayhorn Theater, as she discusses the ways she measures the impact of her work, builds community, supports risky art, and stays curious.
On this episode, I biked over to Staycee Pearl’s house to record this wonderful conversation. Staycee is the co-artistic director of PearlArts Studios and STAYCEE PEARL dance project, where she creates dance-centered multimedia works with her husband and creative partner, Herman Pearl. Since then, the studio has produced several works including OCTAVIA, ABBEY: In the Red, and FLOWERZ. Staycee is also passionate about sharing resources and creating opportunities by initiating arts-community programs such as the PearlDiving Movement Residency and the In The Studio Series. Over the course of an hour, we exchanged ideas about collaboration, body image in dance, preventing boredom in one’s creativity, and finding happiness. There was a dog barking periodically next door, so I apologize for the random dog sounds. Also, next week on April 12-13th, Staycee will be presenting sym, an evening-length dance work in Pittsburgh at the Kelly Strayhorn Theater. sym is a deeply atmospheric dance and sound experience inspired by "Fledgling," a novel by African American Sci-Fi writer Octavia Butler. The work explores Butler's mysterious universe of vampires and humans to examine symbiosis, gender identity and race as it relates to contemporary culture. Staycee is also hosting pearlPRESENTS, a 6-day line-up of performances and movement classes with dance artists from Pittsburgh and NYC. If you are in Pittsburgh, please go and show your support. I’ve added links to the show notes for more information. In any case, I hope you enjoy this. ***sym was commissioned by the Kelly Strayhorn Theater, Pittsburgh, PA Links Mentioned: Staycee's Website Pearl Arts Studios Instagram Sym Info and Tickets pearlPRESENTS Link Dance Theater of Harlem Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Thomas E.

Chris Boles is one of the curators behind the Double Mirror Exhibit, (a bimonthly art show at Delaine's Coffee in Pittsburgh's South Side) and the art manager at Red Fish Bowl, (a Pittsburgh based artist collective). He's the most productive yet laid back person I've met and seems to know anyone making anything in the city. In this chat we learn about it all! Before you hear our conversation however, there are a few chats I collected at the 2014 Greater Pittsburgh Art Council's Annual Meeting. Guests to the meeting were treated to performances from 1Hood, including a standout showing from Blak Rapp M.A.D.U.S.A. The keynote speaker, Roberto Bedoya, (executive director of the Tucson Pima Arts Council, which includes the PLACE Initiative), spoke on the theme of belonging and how art and culture connect us to more than just a place but also to a way of living. I'm happy to say that he didn't pull any punches or speak only on the cheerier topics of art, culture, and bringing people together. Instead, he got right into social justice and the history of what George Lipsitz called "white spatial imaginary," which has actively criminalized non-white, non-Christian culture and ideas in the United States. The audience hung onto his words, specifically when he described Rasquachification: "The Rasquache spatial imaginary is a composition, a resourceful admixture, a mash-up imagination that, through objects and places, says, I'm here—whether that be New Orleans, East L.A., the Bronx or South Tucson—and I'm part of the many and I walk down these streets with a Rasquache passport that says I belong."— Roberto Bedoya, "Spatial Justice: Rasquachification, Race and the City" This hits us hard here in Pittsburgh where it's easy to feel like an outsider. The dominating voice that seems to demand a focus on all things "black and gold," pierogis, and now $15 cocktails just doesn't include everyone. After Bedoya's speech, Janera Solomon of the Kelly Strayhorn Theater mentions the new hotel being built next door. She explains how very nice the chain is and predicts that the latest building will be equally so—offering free WiFi in an open lobby where people will be encouraged to work on their laptops, even if they are not guests. It's a part of the "revitalization" happening in East Liberty. While a nice invitation, Janera stresses that part of the gesture requires the hotel to create a welcoming atmosphere and is skeptical whether it is possible for everyone in East Liberty and the surrounding neighborhoods to feel that way. She wonders also if the art she makes in her theater can be viewed as a threat to those hypothetical hotel patrons. You may ask, why are you going on about this before a chat that seemly has nothing to do with this topic. Well, I'm writing all of this here because we didn't get to it in the soundbites from the meeting or in the chat with Chris, (that was recorded before the meeting in mid-November). I'm writing all of this, because since the GPAC meeting there's been even more evidence in the headlines of why belonging and place-making, place-keeping, and welcoming are important ones. I'm writing this here because if I did this in a separate post with a different headline then you probably wouldn't have clicked on it. I'm writing all of this because I'm still trying to figure out where I belong. Even though on the outside it looks like I should fit right in with the dominating voice I mentioned above, I don't feel that I do.
