In this episode, we chat with artists Nala Ward and Emily Collins about their collaborative exhibition, Conjunction. Their partnership started with a strong friendship and a shared respect for each other's work. We dive into the themes of growth, self-acceptance, and how poetry and collage come together in their creative process. Nala’s poetry and Emily’s visuals create a unique conversation between words and imagery. They also share what it was like to showcase their work in an unconventional space, the challenges they faced, and the sense of community that came out of it. Enjoy!
