Our Shared Field

About Our Shared Field

What does it mean to truly collaborate? How do we find shared meaning? How can we create, together? "Our Shared Field" is a podcast project that seeks to answer these questions by bringing together artists with people from other fields to talk about the overlaps of their respective work. Over the course of three episodes, we meet two guests, interviewing them individually about their work, before sitting down together on the third episode to have a shared conversation. In the gaps between fields, new things can emerge. Produced and hosted by Austen Camille.

   Making a House a Home (PART 3): A Block Captain and an Artist Talk Engagement (with Anamaya Farthing-Kohl + Aminata Sandra Calhoun)

   What turns a house into a home, and a neighborhood into a community? The intention with which Mexico City-based sculptor Anamaya Farthing-Kohl (http://anamayafarthingkohl.com/) and West Philly block captain Aminata Sandra Calhoun (https://www.gridphilly.com/blog-home/2020/8/31/pollinator-gardens?rq=Aminata%20Calhoun) care for the spaces they call home is remarkable. While ‘home’ means something different for each guest, they’ve both expanded the definition to exist outside of their own walls. For Aminata, a clean, cared-for home includes the block it is situated within, and for Anamaya, the actual form a home takes can be ever-shifting. Today, Anamaya and Aminata share the last conversation of the season. We begin by talking about the things that, for Aminata and Anamaya, make a place feel like a home. Music in this episode was created specifically for this podcast by Philly indie band Lester (https://lesterphiladelphia.bandcamp.com/), who pulls listeners in close with soundscapes that build and unravel.

For Aminata, a clean, cared-for home includes the block it is situated within, and for Anamaya, the actual form a home takes can be ever-shifting. Today, I talk to Aminata, block captain and civic leader, about the move back into her West Philly childhood home, the work she's done transforming a dilapidated lot into a community oasis, and why she sweeps the curb outside of her home every Sunday. Music in this episode was created specifically for this podcast by Victor Vieira-Branco (https://www.instagram.com/vvb___/), featuring Matt Engle, while thinking about what collaboration actually sounds like.

Today, I talk to artist Anamaya Farthing-Kohl, who always asks the public to collaborate with their work, asking for help to define, circulate, or discover its meanings and intentions. Everyday encounters and actions and objects become moments where Anamaya thinks, ‘this could be a sculpture’. Music in this episode was created for the conversation by janna (https://www.johannabaumann.com/), in response to Anamaya’s work and themes of creating alternative spaces for home and belonging.

   Expanding the Field (PART 3): A Microbiologist and an Artist Talk Communication (with Alexandra Soare & Charles Trae Mason III)

   How can communication between fields change the way they are communicated individually? Multimedia artist Charles ‘Trae’ Mason III (https://www.cmason3.com/) and microbiologist and immunologist Alexandra Soare (https://twitter.com/AlexandraYSoare) talk with me about the relationship between art and science, and how both fields still have a long way to go in their ability to communicate outside of themselves. We also discuss the necessity of a good mentor, and acknowledge those who changed and expanded the ways they work.

   In the Weeds (PART 3): An Organics Business Owner and an Artist Talk Grassroots (with Ellie Irons + Mike Serant)

   PART 3: ELLIE IRONS + MIKE SERANT What does it take to be “sustainable?” How can we, as a society, grow in ways that help the world grow around us? New York artist, Ellie Irons, and Texan business owner, Mike Serant, come together to talk about their grassroots efforts to foster relationships between humans and the world that sustains us. We discuss the unfortunate branding of ‘weeds’, the domino effect of healthy soils, and what it takes to build ‘an organic army’. Today, Ellie and Mike share their thoughts on what it takes to communicate the microscopic world of soil health, and how the well-being of soil is connected to the well-being of plants and therefore to us as humans. We begin with the issue of communication, as that’s where Mike’s work as a business owner and Ellie’s work as an artist intersect with urgency. Music in this episode is by TIOGA the Band (http://www.tiogatheband.com), a modern indie rock band, born in Philadelphia, with roots extending to New York City. The quartet is composed of Greg Adams (lead vocals), Derrick Dieso (guitar), Austin Paragas (bass & vocals), and Henri Tyler Brooks (drums & vocals).

New York artist, Ellie Irons, and Texan business owner, Mike Serant, come together to talk about their grassroots efforts to foster relationships between humans and the world that sustains us.

Today, I talk with artist and plant collaborator Ellie Irons (https://ellieirons.com/). Ellie and I talk about a number of her ongoing public art projects, why tough weedy urban plants are so inspiring to her, and how she’s using her work to bridge a communication gap between science and the world it describes. Music was created specifically for this episode by Veronica MJ (http://www.veronicamj.space/listen-watch); this piece, "Natalia", was conceived as an ode to Natalia Molchanova, the great Russian free diver, and is meant to evoke a sort of chaotic stillness that one can experience when diving deep down into a body of water, or sitting alone atop a mountain or deep in a forest.

    Women’s Work (PART 3): A Carpenter and an Artist Talk Body (with Mariel Herring + Sonya Blesofsky)

    PART THREE: MARIEL HERRING + SONYA BLESOFSKY Site-responsive artist Sonya Blesofsky and South Philadelphia carpenter Mariel Herring come together to address the ways they think about and use their bodies in their different types of work. We talk about what it feels like to pick up plywood from the hardware store as a woman, about the satisfaction of precise craftspersonship, and finding notes in the walls (or leaving them!) from past carpenters. After sharing conversations with Sonya and Mariel, when we all sat down together, something really clicked. It’s rare to have three women who deal with construction and carpentry sharing a conversation; we began by talking about how we think about, use and perform our bodies in our work spaces. Music for this episode was created by Lizdelise (https://lizdelise.bandcamp.com/), whose work is a celebration of queer identity and self.

We talk about what it feels like to pick up plywood from the hardware store as a woman, about the satisfaction of precise craftspersonship, and finding notes in the walls (or leaving them!) from past carpenters. In today's episode, I interview artist Sonya Blesofsky. We talk about how she views her work as a collaboration between herself and a building, why she’s drawn to materials like plaster, and how she’s thinking through the complicated history of classical architecture. Music for this episode was created by Karen Smith (https://karensmithdrums.wixsite.com/karensmithdrums), a Philadelphia percussionist and poet who often takes their drums on the road.

    Women’s Work (PART 1): A Carpenter and an Artist Talk Body (with Mariel Herring)

    PART ONE: MARIEL HERRING As a female carpenter myself, this conversation hits very close to home. Site-responsive artist Sonya Blesofsky and South Philadelphia carpenter Mariel Herring come together to address the ways they think about and use their bodies in their different types of work. We talk about what it feels like to pick up plywood from the hardware store as a woman, about the satisfaction of precise craftspersonship, and finding notes in the walls (or leaving them!) from past carpenters. In today's episode, I first interview carpenter Mariel Herring. We talk about the ingenious ways she’s learned to use her body as a tool on the jobsite, how she has to dress in order to mitigate sexism, and her plans to bring more female-identifying construction workers into the field. Music for this episode was created by Sophie White (https://www.sophiecwhite.com/), a percussionist and professional drywaller. One of her pieces featured here mimics the sound of construction sites.

    Caring for Complexity (PART 3): A Tree Tender and an Artist Talk Maintenance (With Aviva Rahmani + Marcus Ferreira)

    PART THREE: AVIVA RAHMANI + MARCUS FERREIRA What does it mean to maintain something? How do we practice long-term care for the natural world? Connected by their urgent efforts to tend to the environment, lawyer and Philadelphia-local Marcus Ferreira and eco-artist Aviva Rahmani (https://www.avivarahmani.com/) talk about their varied approaches to eco-activism. Though they work at very different scales — Ferreira walks the streets of South Philly with pruners in his pocket and Rahmani writes symphonies for forests — they are both deeply attuned to the need for ecological restoration. In this conversation, we discuss the necessity of long-term thought, and the effects of planting and maintaining a single tree. In part three of the conversation, Aviva and Marcus come together to define their terms, discuss the power of a single tree, and to brainstorm potential project ideas. Music for this episode was created specifically for this conversation, with Marcus' and Aviva's work in mind, by Philly improv musician Matt Engle (https://matt-engle.bandcamp.com/).

    Our Shared Field: Pilot Season Trailer

    What does it mean to truly collaborate? How do we find shared meaning? How can we create, together? Our Shared Field is a podcast project that seeks to answer these questions by bringing together artists with people from other fields to talk about the overlaps of their respective work. A printmaker and a sanitation worker. A carpenter and an installation artist. A tree tender and ecological sculptor. An organic garden supplier and a socially-engaged artist. In each episode, we meet two guests, interviewing them individually about their work, then sitting down for a conversation that explores their varied approaches to similar subjects. Provocative connections are made between disparate worlds, and listeners can hear how these connections lead to new creative possibilities. Interviewees also have the opportunity to participate in a micro-residency, hosted digitally (https://chat.squarespace.com/podcast-episodes), where the public can experience and witness their processes of collaboration. In the gaps between fields — in the space of actually listening to another person — new things can emerge, questions and creative projects that take into account differences of perspective. About the host: Our Shared Field is created and hosted by Austen Camille (she/her), an artist, writer, carpenter and arts organizer. Camille's practice investigates her itinerant state as it is informed by and intertwined with her work as a carpenter and land steward. The intersection between construction, land(scape), utility, and people’s desire to both care for and control their spaces is the result of growing up in her family’s hardware store and garden center. She received her MFA in Painting from the Tyler School of Art and Architecture in 2020. While in graduate school, she received multiple grants to organize a university-wide conversation series that brought different disciplines together to discuss common issues. This podcast series is an extension of her work, continuing to create spaces for dialogue and advocating for public arts accessibility. Learn more about her work here (https://www.austencamille.com/).
