Metal to Melody: Stephanie Mercedes' Artistic Response to Gun Violence
<p>In this episode, we sit down with <a href='https://www.stephaniemercedes.com/'>Stephanie Mercedes</a>, a talented queer Latinx artist based in Washington D.C. Mercedes is an interdisciplinary artist who explores various mediums such as sound, performance, metal casting, welding, and musical composition. With a deep connection to her family history and Argentine ancestry, her performances and installations ruminate on that country’s history, particularly los desaparecidos, as well as colonization, dictatorships, and juntas prevalent throughout Latin America. Additionally, Mercedes shares her unique artistic process of transforming weapons into musical instruments and sculptures, and how she intersects art, history, and activism.</p><p><b>Episode Credits:</b><br/>Host: Norma Sorto<br/>Guest: Stephanie Mercedes <br/>Episode Interviewers: Estrellita Soto Flores and Flavia Olivera<br/>Episode Scriptwriter: Flavia Olivera <br/>Episode Editor: Claudia Peralta Torres<br/><br/><b>Music by Blue Dot Sessions:</b><br/>Sour Mash - Golden Grass<br/>Cholate - Arizona Moon<br/><br/></p><p>For updates on episodes and Latinx events in the D.C. area, follow us on Instagram <a href='https://www.instagram.com/holaculturadc/'>@holaculturadc</a>, and don’t forget to rate, review and subscribe to “Artistas in the Capital.” To get involved in Latinx arts, culture, and humanities in D.C., sign up to join our SPEL program and visit <a href='https://holacultura.com/'>holacultura.com</a>.</p>
