S3/E5 BONUS! RENA PRIEST READS "PUSHING UPHILL"

Back when we were working on our feature with Washington State Poet Laureate Rena Priest for PMA007, she very graciously wrote and recorded this poem for us. This seems like a perfect time to unveil it and a wonderful way to end this season of the PMA Podcast!

S3/E4 LANDA LAKES

EJ Miller-Larson speaks with Landa Lakes, a Chickasaw writer, musician, activist and artist. They are a drag queen and community organizer whose work spans decades and transcends genres. They founded multiple drag performance groups along the West Coast, serve on the board of the Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits, and co-founded the Weaving Spirits Native Art Festival.

S3/E3 JACKIE FAWN

EJ Miller-Larson speaks with Jackie Fawn, a Yurok, Washoe, and Filipino graphic artist and activist whose work I first discovered in 2018 through the illustrations she created in solidarity with the Mni Wiconi movement. The power of Jackie’s work lies not only in her skill as an artist, but in her focus on community. (@fishbearstudios)

S3/E2 STEPH LITTLEBIRD

EJ Miller-Larson speaks with Steph Littlebird, a Chinook and Kalapuya illustrator, painter, writer, curator, and Indigenous rights advocate whose illustrative work ranges all the way from children’s books like the critically acclaimed “My Powerful Hair” to museum exhibits. They were keen to share their experiences in those spaces and beyond. (@artnerdforever)

S3/E1 SOLANGE AGUILAR

This third season of the PMA podcast is a very special series. Hosted by EJ Miller-Larson, an Anishinaabe and Onʌyoteˀa·ká· writer and illustrator from the upper Midwest of what is now called the United States, Season Three presents a series of conversations with four Indigenous artists who have used their talent and dedication to raise awareness for a variety of issues within and beyond their communities.
