See here for more info: bit.ly/3fMSfvHFor more episodes: patreon.com/aqnbIn this episode, we respond to the topic of illness, considering the structural conditions affecting health and the nature of life, by inviting artist, writer LTTR journal and collective co-founder Every Ocean Hughes for a discussion, as well as an audio work by interdisciplinary artist and writer Clay AD.Steph speaks with Every about her work around notions of queer death and illness, as well as her place in a rich lineage of queer art that crosses her early days in the 2000s New York city punk scene, and more recent working relationships with the likes Geo Wyeth and Colin Self.This is followed with a reading by Clay AD—a Glasgow-based artist working across writing, sound, video and movement—from their novel Metabolize, If Able. We first spoke with Clay last year, for an interview on AQNB, and have been drawn to their use of sci-fi and speculative fiction to explore themes of illness, ecology and biopolitics today.
