The Loudest Quiet

The Loudest Quiet

In this episode, Detroit-based abstract artist Noble Liverpool invites us into a practice where collage becomes more than composition, it becomes a language. For Liverpool, arranging and rearranging fragments is how they sort what won’t stay still, express what words cannot carry, and find sovereignty in a world that has often asked them to be quieter than they are. We explore the emotional life of repurposed materials, what we carry and what we choose to make beautiful, and what it means to create from a place that is finally, fully your own.

Griot Genesis

In the accompanying episode to the digital exhibition Griot Genesis, this intimate conversation offers a deeper look into Miriam Uhura’s evolving creative practice. Reflecting on her early itch to create and the moment art became not just something she did, but something she was becoming, Uhura speaks candidly about influence, autonomy, and the inner workings of her practice.  Together, we explore the themes grounding the exhibition: family as living influence, vulnerability rendered through the intimate gaze, and Black legacy and freedom. From ritual, music as research, and to reclaiming archetypes through a modern griot lens, Uhura shares the stories she carries and the ones still unfolding.  Experience the full digital exhibition [https://www.threadsartexchange.com/griot-genesis-miriam-uhura-digital-exhibition] Listen to the curated Spotify playlist [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/22pje8hyOTM1Y2vWcA4q7W] Discover more on our website [https://www.threadsartexchange.com/] and follow us on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/threadsartexchange/]!

The Scientist, The Philosopher, The Muse

In this soulful episode, artist Madhurima Ganguly invites us into a world where painting becomes more than practice but also a ritual. For Ganguly, art is both a private journal and a divine encounter as a space of healing, surrender, and profound self-discovery.  We explore how curiosity guides her, how identity shifts across continents, and how themes of body, ritual adornment, and beauty standards move through her work. Together, we question what it means to define art, how intimacy translates into public reception, and how her creative practice evolves alongside the chapters of life.  Discover more on our website [https://www.threadsartexchange.com/] and follow us on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/threadsartexchange/]!

Geographies of Becoming

On this special episode, we are joined by Paloma Núñez-Regueiro to discuss printmaking as both a political act and a personal archive. Born in Peru and raised in Mexico, Núñez-Regueiro reflects on a life shaped by migration, multiplicity, and belonging. Her work, grounded in a rigorous process of research, reading, and intimate interviews, positions printmaking not just as a medium, but as a mode of resistance, repetition, and collective remembrance. Weaving together political memory, diasporic identity, and visual storytelling, the Ann Arbor-based artist speaks on visibility, medium hierarchy, and how theory shapes image.  Discover more on our website [https://www.threadsartexchange.com/] and follow us on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/threadsartexchange/]!

Syntax Before Grammar

In this special episode, we are joined by Brazilian-born, New York–based collage artist Edgard Barbosa, whose art practice navigates the intersections of memory, media, and identity. Barbosa reflects on the role of visual language as both a form of personal reckoning and collective dialogue, revealing how his fragmented compositions serve as a response and reflection of his immediate surroundings. Through a nuanced conversation, he shares insights into his methodology, the intuitive construction of imagery, and the urgency of capturing the present moment through layered and textured form.
