Round 13: Kara Springer "Hold. Elmina, Ghana (2012), Austin, Texas, United States (2020)"

The curator of the Cage Match Project and host for this podcast, Ariel René Jackson, interviews Round 13 artist Kara Springer about her practice as well as her installation for CMP titled "Hold. Elmina, Ghana (2012), Austin, Texas, United States (2020)". Check out photos of Kara's installation at www.cagematchproject.com

We talk about Kara's transition from an industrial designer, founding the Kaya Birth Stool, to her interdisciplinary practice, where she is concerned with armature–the underlying structure that holds the flesh of a body in place. We talk caring for bodies, motherhood, memory and place, mobility and stillness, and the diasporic relationship between chattel slavery and the separation of families at the US Border.
