Ryan and Mike in a new adventure - podcast producing!

artWork is FABnyc’s podcast exploring at how art works in the world. Back in 2018 - artWork will continue bringing you conversations with culture makers on the role arts and culture can play in strengthening communities. Elizabeth Hamby and Hatuey Ramos Fermin (also known as Meta Local Collaborative) are Bronx based artists who continue to transform our understanding of New York’s largest public space: its streets. They explore the histories of neighborhoods, create site-specific participatory work, engage a broad range of people, and work collaboratively across disciplines. In this episode, we have a conversation about work, about crossing between disciplines, how bicycling is an art form, using history as a jumping off point for deep dialogue, and the kinds of moments that can turn your life in a direction you never saw coming.
