Paying in Security What You Gain in Freedom — Interview with Susan DeFreitas

In this episode we have the honor of talking with author and editor Susan DeFreitas. Not only do we get to hear about how she’s fought for her career in the arts, but we get to have some amazing discussions about security vs. freedom, artists as “culture jammers,” and some of the safety nets and privilege that contribute to our narratives. This one definitely ended too soon. Enjoy!
