Part 2 of our 3 part series featuring our annual Pushcart nominees, Elizabeth is joined by Rebecca Evans and Mohini Ghoshroy in a super, detailed, intensive chat. Let's just say, don't hesitate. Grab a beverage and/or a snack (maybe not if you're driving?!) and tuck into this!

Three Angsty Poets gathered, initially chatting about poetry, but the chatting turned to ranting. The ranting turned to rage. The music industry bubbled to the surface, and, like most artists, they found themselves back in time—big hair, punked and metaled, and singing lyrics they'd buried long ago. This episode brings their discussion to My Angst on Music and the Written Word.  

Three Angsty Poets gathered, initially chatting about recipes and dive bars, but the chatting turned to ranting. The ranting turned to rage. The rage turned to poetry, because everything is poetic. And since it's the start of another year, one that feels a bit bleak, the poets dove into the dark arena of resolutions and revisions.    

From Victor & Rolf's "Get Mean" frock through Jordan Gogos's radical upcycling projects to Paul McCann's "Sovereignty Never Ceded" gown, certain items of clothing speak loudly - with intention - about the times we find ourselves in. Let's not forget the long traditions of tapestry-making, quilting, embroidery, and the newer but related concepts of stitch-n-bitch craftivism. Cloth can be a radical medium. You might call it soft power, for its undeniable tactility - but don't mistake soft for weak. "Textiles galvanise communities. Through wars, pandemics and disasters, textiles have offered a way to mobilise social and cultural groups and build connections. In the late nineteenth century, British artist and designer William Morris sought to counter the mechanisation and mass-production of the Industrial Revolution by weaving tapestries on a manual loom with hand-dyed thread. Today, many artists are experimenting with the materials and techniques of textile design as a ‘slow making' antidote to the high-speed digital age." With an introduction like that, how could we not respond? This week, Clare sits down with Rebecca Evans and Leigh Robb, curators of RADICAL TEXTILES - a major new exhibition at the Art Gallery of South Australia.Up for discussion: do textiles belong in museums? Is fashion so often dismissed as some sort of lesser art because it's considered unserious women's business? How did political movements of the last century use textiles to get their messages across? What's with Don Dunstan's pink shorts? And so much more!Can you help us spread the word ?Wardrobe Crisis is an independent production.We don't believe in barriers to entry and are determined to keep this content free.If you value it, please help by sharing your favourite Episodes, and rating / reviewing us in Apple orSpotify.

Three Angsty Poets gathered, initially chatting about poetry, but the chatting turned to ranting. The ranting turned to humor, and maybe a bit of angst. The holiday pressure surfaced and they found themselves swallowed into the lights, the carols, the Scrooges, and gimmicks. Episode Nine brings their discussion on holidays, traditions, and sticking with our virtues. My Angst on Holiday Lit. No matter, create art.

Now more than ever, create art.  

Three Angsty Poets gathered, initially chatting about poetry, but the conversation turned. They found themselves invigorated, inspired, and mostly miffed at the world, the gods, the past, the future... In Episode Seven, they discuss angsty thoughts: My Angst with Literary Jerks. We want to know who qualifies as a jerk in the world of literary arts—fictional characters, real life writers, the over critical professor, the characters developed in film? These can sometimes be the villains we love to hate, right?

This week it's The Art (Nouveau) Show! Flowers, peacocks and sensuous drapes. Bejewelled women entwined in billowing hair and that classic black outline, that turns the dreamy into the bold – the NEW. Despite what we may think about the arts and crafts that came out of Belgium, France and  Czechia at the turn of the nineteenth century, Art Nouveau was considered to be an ultra-modern aesthetic.One artist who defined the style is Alphonse Mucha. We hear from Mucha's great-grandson Marcus Mucha and Mucha Foundation curator Tomoko Sato, at the Art Gallery of New South Wales exhibition Alphonse Mucha: Spirit of Art Nouveau.In South Australia artists like Maude Vizard-Wholohan were part of a newly empowered generation of female art school graduates who produced Art Nouveau designs while living in the first Australian state where women could vote (and the third in the world). Rebecca Evans is curator of design and decorative arts at the Art Gallery of South Australia, and traces the legacy of these artists.This first went to air Wed 19 Jun 2024

With the publication of her most recent novel, White Horse, Erika T. Wurth breaks from the realism that characterized her earlier fiction and ventures into horror. White Horse follows Kari, an urban Native living in Denver, as a family heirloom belonging to her long-missing mother launches her into a world of the uncanny: ghosts and monsters lurch into real life and portals transport her into scenes from the past that reveal traumatic family secrets. Wurth speaks with critic Leif Sorensen and host Rebecca Evans about what abides at the intersection of politics and craft, and what's at stake in particular for the Indigenous writers of genre fiction whose work takes shape at that intersection. Their conversation pokes serious fun at everything from the faltering literary truism that being good at plot is somehow less impressive than being good at characterization to debates over authenticity in Native literature. Horror, as Wurth describes it, offers real and meaningful pleasures, solves the craft problems of over exposition, and opens up powerful questions of identity, politics, and history. Tune in for recommendations for genre writers from the emerging Fifth Wave of Indigenous fiction, reflections on orality and linguistics, and Wurth's cure for “writer's depression” instead of writer's block!

With the publication of her most recent novel, White Horse, Erika T. Wurth breaks from the realism that characterized her earlier fiction and ventures into horror. White Horse follows Kari, an urban Native living in Denver, as a family heirloom belonging to her long-missing mother launches her into a world of the uncanny: ghosts and monsters lurch into real life and portals transport her into scenes from the past that reveal traumatic family secrets. Wurth speaks with critic Leif Sorensen and host Rebecca Evans about what abides at the intersection of politics and craft, and what's at stake in particular for the Indigenous writers of genre fiction whose work takes shape at that intersection. Their conversation pokes serious fun at everything from the faltering literary truism that being good at plot is somehow less impressive than being good at characterization to debates over authenticity in Native literature.

We have three guests today, an editor and two contributors of When There Are Nine, a poetry anthology in tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Rebecca Evans, one of the anthology's editors, is a Jewish poet, memoirist, radio show cohost, writing instructor, war veteran, and mother. Carla Schick is a Queer activist for liberation and education as well as a lover of jazz and language. Harrison Solow is an award-winning author, university lecturer, Hollywood adviser, and former Franciscan nun. Both Schick and Solow contributed poems to the anthology. We're so thrilled to speak to this diverse and incredibly accomplished group of women today on Episode Seven of Season Four. All three share and discuss poetry from the anthology. We also talk about the ongoing struggle for equal rights, using words to paint our pictures, living and creating in the midst of terrible grief, and collecting poems both timely and timeless.

In this episode, Rebecca Evans is joined by Lisa Mitchell, Workforce Development Program Director from the Hospital Association of Southern California (HASC). HASC is a valuable partner that participates in the WDBVC Healthcare Sector Workgroup. Discover the purpose of industry workgroups, and what the workgroup has been able to identify as the workforce development needs in Ventura County. Lisa also shares her thoughts on the top jobs needed locally and positions that can be career pathways for individuals exploring career choices in healthcare.     

  Rebecca Evans has such an incredible journey. She started her law career later while giving birth to her youngest during law school. She also started her own practice for many reasons, including that she was committed to creating a new future for the legal industry. She has so many golden nuggets of wisdom to share, including her approach on parenting and lawyering and her approach for better lawyering for clients. You'll see that she is so articulate and is a great storyteller, so I'll for sure be remembering this conversation for years to come.  Connect with Rebecca on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccaevansjd/ Follow Rebecca on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/BougieLawyer Visit Rebecca's website here: http://evanslaw.llc/ Follow Rebecca on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/The.Bougie.Lawyer/ Connect with Angela on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/itsangelahan/ Visit Angela's website here: https://angela-han.com/ Follow Angela on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/itsangelahan/
