"Mahwish Chishty combines new media and conceptual work with materials and techniques of SouthAsian art and craft traditions." from www.mahachishty.com
I met Mahwish in 2015/16 when she and my 200 students from Maplewood High School put on an exhibit at the Red Arrow Gallery in East Nashville. https://nashvillearts.com/2016/03/maplewood-high-school-students-change-perceptions-through-art/

She has exhibited her work around the world and is currently planning a project that will show in Chicago, India, and Pakistan.
In addition to her website, this episode of Drone Futures about her and her work is fantastic. https://lnns.co/s6pTi3SOVC1 Drone Futures is hosted by Michael Richardson, Senior Research Fellow at the University of New South Wales, whose research examines the intersection of war, culture, and technology.

Conversation with Charles Clary
I need to say a big thank you to Jodi Hays for introducing me to Charles Clary when she put us on a panel a few years back at SECAC in Chattanooga. His work and work ethic is mind-boggling and I am so grateful he was open to having a conversation even though we only met once before. I'm already looking forward to our next chat! You can find out more about his work at charlesclary.com or @charlesclary on Instagram
Conversation with Rachel Hall Kirk
Rachel and I have been friends since 1995. She has one of my favorite stories about being a young artist and has always been really fun to talk about art with. Nothing has changed except she is now a professor and lives in Washington state. She still makes incredible drawings and is still fun to have a conversation with! I hope you will dive into her drawing practice. It is fantastic!
Conversation with JayVe Montgomery
I met JayVe when we both presented slide shows at Nashville artists drink beer. Thanks to Bradley Marshall for the invite because JayVe's work has been on my mind ever since. It was so great to get to talk with him more about current and future investigations. Follow him on Instagram @abstractblack or go buy his music from his website www.jayvemontgomery.com It is as fantastic as he is!
Conversation with Stephanie Pruitt Gaines
For many of us in the Nashville art ecosystem, Stephanie is a foundational figure. In this conversation, she and I talk about having tough days, approaching shifts in our lives with curiosity instead of shame, parenting as a creative practice, and a whole lot more.
