In this first episode, ON A.I.R. producer Tavin Dotson sits down with host Michelle Hagewood, Program Manager for Centrum Residencies to unpack the hopes and thoughts that have gone into podcast. We explore questions surrounding artists and the current challenges of pandemic and social crises, the role of residencies and the creative workforce, and Michelle’s background as an artist, museum educator, and parent. We peek at the Centrum Print Collection archives and acknowledge the rich history of artists at Fort Worden. We discuss the ways that place and space play pivotal roles in artist practices and take on new meanings in 2020.
