Thami is a singer-songwriter and musician, passionate about the transformative essence of musical alchemy. Her current artistic expression is rooted in creating immersive soundscapes that in some ways transcend traditional boundaries, with the potential to offer a narrative journey. She hopes to create auditory spaces that encourage restful resistance through self-reflection, while provoking forms of healing.
Zach is an artist and local food co-op host. Right now he cares about exorcism - be it queer hatred in the church, imperial imagination from the walls of the suburbs, or of the shame we hold in our bodies. Zach believes wholeheartedly in gathering together over a delicious meal.
The themes we explore in this episode relate to finding healing and belonging in a disembodied world as we find healing and belonging in our bodies. The episode includes original music by Thami and original poetry by Tristan. It is meant to be a moment to breathe in a turbulent and troubling world.
The Poem Tristan reads is an original piece by him called Breathe. The song at the end of the episode is an original song by Thami and is currently untitled.
