153: Umar Rashid

It isn't often we invite a guest to come onto Radio Juxtapoz for a second time, but Umar Rashid is beyond an exception. He's a friend with something to talk about, a new show, yes, The Kingdom of the Two Californias. La Época del Totalitarismo Part 2 at BLUM in Los Angeles... but we are also talking two days after the American election and an artist dedicated to history has something to say. A lot to say. "This epoch is exhausting," Rashid says, as we explore his own explorations of history and the cacophony of noise of the contemporary. In our wide-ranging conversation, we talk about making art in the midst of history happening around you, how you can tell stories from the past that explain our current and future selves and how much it takes to prepare a body of work that is about a narrative that demands a deeper read. Umar never shies away from telling us how our history is often over-looked, and although that seems simple, it's a plague of humanity to not look back in order to move forward. And art is his language... Radio Juxtapoz' Unibrow podcast is hosted by Juxtapoz editor, ⁠⁠Evan Pricco⁠⁠ . Episode 153 was recorded in Los Angeles on November 7, 2024.
