Show notes: s3e111 Jenny Schmid
In this episode of Platemark, Ann sits down with exceptional artist, printmaker, animator, and educator Jenny Schmid for a thought-provoking discussion on the intersections of history, art, and activism. They explore how historical figures like Käthe Kollwitz and José Posada influence Jenny's contemporary practice, delve into her fascinating project "Disembodied Reembodied," and celebrate the vital role of the Minnesota printmaking community in resisting oppressive systems. Jenny also shares a glimpse into her upcoming work examining midwifery, witch accusations, and women's labor history.
