"In 2017 I commissioned artist Jak Soroka to curate a series of podcasts from interviews I had done while researching my show Guide Gods. This one: Crip Time - Finding your own rhythm feels incredibly relevant again as I witness so many people suddenly find their “normative” relationship to time, schedules and productivity upended. I hope you find it both interesting and perhaps helpful."
