Join J. Sybylla Smith in for an unscripted conversation with Kyle Meyer about his new release, Interwoven.

Episode Summary:

Kyle Meyer’s process-driven art practice is a multimedia exploration of the tactile potential of the photograph with an end goal of creating meaning and conveying presence in a blend of handmade craft and technology. 

Episode Notes:

The result of a post college grant landed Meyer in Swaziland, now Eswatini, as a journalist  exploring the reality of a country with the world’s largest HIV population. He began with a job in a candle factory, spending two years without access to the internet. Led by curiosity and his ability to create community Meyer developed the framework to honor and amplify the visibility of the African gay man. 

In this book group, Meyer discusses, among other things:

• blending craft and technology 

• allowing process to drive concept develop

• the process of creating a book

• the African LGBTQ community 

• Millhook Residency 

• a glimpse into his next project
