Join me and music critic Amanda Petrusich (AIR ‘19, staff writer for @newyorker) for a live-streamed conversation tomorrow July 7 at 6:30pm PT in support of Headlands Center for the Arts! Register here: found.ee/Thao-Headlands We’ll be discussing the essentiality of artistic and critical practices in a time of social and cultural upheaval. Artists and writers have long made peace with their practices and work being positioned as indulgences, and now amidst a pandemic and social reckoning, how do creative workers respond? What can be learned from artists’ and writers’ longstanding practices, their unique relationships to patience and discomfort, to their perceptions and grit? And what about creative and critical work needs to change?
