Episode 7: Eva Martinez-Bond
AIR DATE: MAY 30TH, 2021
This week our guest is Eva Martinez-Bond. A painter and illustrator currently based in Seattle, WA whose work explores the distortion of mind, body, and self in a capitalist reality. Using their own personal history and body as a reference, to reflect greater themes of loss, grief, and discomfort. Topics discussed include brown and black bodies being used as tools of "coolness" to draw in money while being constantly disrespected. Not being allowed to acknowledge the pain and abuse being inflicted because the owner of a business is popular. We also talk about the infamous fried chicken fiasco by a former business owner in Philadelphia. Losing yourself and identity to work when it was originally to supplement the creative life, and most importantly, joy being a form of revolution.
