Episode #39: Dorian Wood

Dorian Wood is a musician, vocalist, and experimental performer. Much of Wood's music and performance is an intensely visceral celebration and embrace of the body, often his own, which he fearlessly exposes while rendering gorgeous and virtuosic melodies. The effect is a powerful and intimate expression of his singular beauty that simultaneously reveals the more universal beauty of each of us as individuals. Pinkmountain and Wood discuss the impact of the election on a personal level and Wood's reluctance to directly address political matters through his creative work. Wood points out bluntly that as a self-identified "overweight, queer person of color," being singled out and antagonized by those in power is not exactly a new experience.
