This week, Miranda speaks with Eliza Lutz (they/them)—a musician, printmaker, and PhD student in linguistics based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Eliza is also the recipient of Print Austin’s Best in Show award for their work in The Contemporary Print, an exhibition on view through March 20th.
They discuss Eliza’s journey from running a record label in a streaming-dominated world and working the DIY screen-printing scene to becoming a fine printmaker, the complexities of the American healthcare system, and how printmaking serves as an extension of their disabled body.
Hoy Reinaldo estará conversando con Memo Orduña. Maestro impresor y artist gráfico originario de Oaxaca y jefe de edición del taller la Buena Impresión. Memo comenzó su carrera inspirado por el trabajo artístico de sus familiares y a su temprana edad se convirtió en la cabecera de la impresión en este prestigioso taller dedicado a la litografía.
