Myiesha At Large: Myiesha Gordon's year abroad

June 13, 2017 1:50 AM

"The purpose of this trip is multifaceted. As an artist and anthropologist, I am interested in why humans create and how cultural identity informs creative process. I will explore different countries, create art, conduct research, try to learn languages, and collaborate with artists and communities. My primary goal is to learn…about everything. The research that I gather during this trip is in conjunction with my graduate school coursework for 2016-17 and what I learn will be used to inform future research and writing, including my doctoral dissertation."

This is very enjoyable! I like how the website is giving bite-sized snippets of info about different locations that still have enough content to be thought provoking. I look forward to listening to the podcast.
