Ep: 26 - Ben Morea - Revolutionary, Anarchist and Creator

Hosts Marshall, Sophia, and Josh end up taking more notes than posing questions as they interview artist, activist, and animist Ben Morea. He speaks on art as an avenue for social change in New York with Black Mask in the 60's, how humanity has lost the idea of art as an essential survival tactic used to reconcile with the universe, and how the objectification and commercialization of art has divorced it from the essence of what it is meant to be.

Om Podcasten

Art Grind is a podcast for and about artists, art lovers and art professionals. It is a social practice of giving back to the art community of which we are a part and explores the process, content, concept and motivation behind art making of both established and emerging artists and the people who bring that art to a wider audience. We are artists ourselves and wear many hats, including curation, art writing and art teaching. We share a passion for authentic and skilled art making, be it trained or self-taught. Whether in the studio, on your lunch hour or chilling out after a long day of hustle, have a listen while we explore, along with our guests, the backstories of what we fondly call “the art grind”.
