Title: Antonious Bui Interview, May 14, 2020
Date: May 14, 2020
Creator: Antonious Bui; Naoko Wowsugi; Naoko Wowsugi
Description: Artist Antonious Bui, a fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA discusses the impact of COVID-19. Antonious shares how, as a cultural worker, there have been a number of postponements and cancellations that have impacted the ability of fellows at the Fine Arts Work Center to work collaboratively in person. Antonious discusses how the pandemic presented an opportunity to critique institutions and demand a more equitable future, thanking the Fine Arts Work Center for responding to demands for stipend and stay increases. Antonious talks about how family, loved ones, and other artists have provided invaluable support, and also shares how it's been inspiring to see how the pandemic can provide a model for collective movement on other issues like the climate crisis. Antonious ends by hoping that we see how our "normal" is unsustainable, as it only serves the richest and most privileged. We need to recognize that we are not all equal, and that we all need to continue to pay attention to understand that collective movement -- and art -- is more important than ever.

Title: Courtland Sutton Interview, April 29, 2020
Date: April 29, 2020
Creator: Courtland Sutton; Laura Waters Hinson
Description: Courtland S., an MFA student in film at American University, is at home with her parents in South Carolina. Covid-19 made it clear to her how much she depended on her work and school for socialization. Feeling trapped, sitting in doors, she made the decision to leave DC to convene with her parents, people she can hug, touch, share a meal with, and get that closeness that was missing due to Covid-19. For her, Covid-19 has created a forced sense of rest. It has allowed her to finish classes and use the gift of time to plan for future, do home projects, and build her portfolio. It has been an opportunity to pause. She hopes Americans learn that we need competent leaders, confident, strong leaders. The country needs a better social safety net coupled with increased compassion and understanding of our fellow citizens. She hopes that people gain a greater appreciation of the low wage workers who work in restaurants, movie theaters, and grocery stores. These folks keep the country running and are sacrificing their lives for us.
