This Thing We Call Art is a project by trans-disciplinary artist Kelly Lloyd. Lloyd has been interviewing people in the arts about their livelihoods since 2017 – interviewing 85 people thus far. This archive is now available online at thisthingwecallart.com, and, in addition, Lloyd is sharing excerpts from a series of interviews via a new podcast with contributors including Gregory Bae, Gordon Hall, Nicole Morris, Leah Capaldi, Hilary Powell and Bella Milroy.
Podcast episodes will be released on Thursdays every week during February and March on thisthingwecallart.com, and will also play on RTM.FM in London at 2pm GMT on Thursdays, and on Lumpen Radio in Chicago at 2pm CST on Fridays.
