Hello! On Thursday night, we went over to the Mutiny Radio headquarters to be part of the Balkan Vulcan show. Typing this out now, it seems an almost surreal experience. I can't believe that we all were on the radio talking about our art and the internship! Yup, hard to wrap my head around.
Before we went on air, I was very, very, very nervous about being on the radio. I'd like to take the time now to apologize to Marisa for awkwardly squeezing her hand when we first started. Sorry about that, Marisa. But, after the first couple minutes, being in the studio with Leonidas was comfortable. The nerves were gone and we all just started performing. I like the format of radio: being able to perform for an audience without the stress of actually being in front of a large group of people. This dynamic allowed me to take bolder risks and try to just have fun. I think we were all pretty successful in that. I walked out of the studio space with a big smile on my face. I really enjoyed myself!

I also loved seeing everyone's art. We all have such different aesthetics and it's so cool to see what you are all creating. Nell, I love your style. Your art is so bold and geometric and clean. Plus, your Parsons installation was amazing. Marisa, you have crazy talent. I loved that your pieces were so beautifully thought out with hard vs. soft dichotomies in each. Cami, your art is so much fun and I think it reflects your personality really well. Your notebook is so personal and beautiful and just so honest. And, you have KIMYE on the cover and what could be better than that?
Overall, Thursday was a blast.
My lovely fellow interns!
