Conflicting Emotions
What is the Conflicting Emotions podcast?
Like the Conflicting Emotions article series that inspired it, this podcast seeks to highlight the complex emotions and experiences of the BIPOC community at predominantly white institutions (PWIs). We focus on stories that are real and raw, while also allowing space to share our triumphs and joys.
Hosted by Avana Mohandesi, the Conflicting Emotions podcast is supported by a BLI Grant for Racial Justice and Equity from the Black Laurentian Initiative (BLI) at St. Lawrence University.
Conflicting Emotions #3 - The Transformative Power of Art
In this episode of Conflicting Emotions, host Avana Mohandesi talks with three BIPOC artists whose work speaks to ideas about race, ethnicity, and identity. In addition to reflecting on their motivations and on the responses they have received, they discuss art as a transformative and even revolutionary force for individuals and for society. They also highlight some of their recent and upcoming projects.
