   Artist Talk for The Border is a Weapon - Moderated by Joze Diaz

   In our surprise final finalé episode, we bring you the audio recording from the Artist Talk for the Border is a Weapon Exhibition, moderated by Jose Diaz - the former Chief Curator at the Andy Warhol Museum. It took place February 22, 2022 over zoom to an audience of about 50-60 people. All artists were present except Daniela Cavazos Madrgial and Tereneh Idia who were not available that evening. At that point the exhibition The Border is a Weapon, curated by Gil Rocha at 937 Gallery in Pittsburgh, PA had been open almost a month and had been seen by thousands including the opening night that was packed and overflowing with people. This conversation flowed easily between the artists and Jose Diaz. It serves now as an important historic document of a show that continues to grow and travel, most recently it was shown at the Laredo Center for the Arts, summer 2022, and will continue to the University of Syracuse later in 2023. Enjoy! And thank you for being part of our Other Border Wall Podcast series. It has been a pleasure serving you in such creative and positive ways!

   FINAL EPISODE - Reflection, Gratitude, and Joy

   In late October 2022 Tereneh, Leah and Jenn sat down for one last time to record our final episode for the Other Border Wall Podcast, now in its Third Season. We reflect, laugh, and remember not only this Podcast but all the work we have made together since 2017 as "Creative Resistance to Borders". So much has happened over these past five years - and we are now moving onto other projects but will always hold space and respect for the amazing people we met and worked with together as a collective. We feel so grateful for the work of building community in these many ways, and for all the support we have received. It has been an incredible journey and we wanted to hold space for it with this episode. As we sign off we want to encourage our listeners to stay in solidarity with the incredible work that inspired us and will continue to be a beacon for all of us: Border Angels https://instagram.com/borderangelsofficial (https://instagram.com/borderangelsofficial) Brushfire Press https://instagram.com/brushfirepress (https://instagram.com/brushfirepress) No Border Wall https://instagram.com/noborderwall_ltx (https://instagram.com/noborderwall_ltx) Thanks so much for being with us during these five years of learning and creative resistance to borders.
