Conversations, the 2024 Mellon Arts Fellows Showcase brings together three visiting artists -- Kim Ye, a mixed-media creator, Rodrigo Reyes, a filmmaker, and Isaiah Phillips, a musician -- to share through conversations the catalysts and art practices activating their CCSRE-IDA fellowship projects. Contextualizing their work within their larger lived (artistic, academic, social) histories, each artist conversation challenges us to interrogate our own conceptual lenses to reflect more deeply or differently on issues of identity, place, power, trauma, justice, and healing.

Isaiah Philips with Tiffany Johnson, "Gather Yourself: the Necessity of Self Love" 

Rodrigo Reyes with Daniel Chavez & Sansón, "Cinema as a Tool for Liberation: Radical Collaborations to Transcend Crimmigration" 

Kim Ye with Maxine Holloway and Lena Chen, "Content Warning" 

Victoria Stone-Cadena & Bridget Algee-Hewitt In Conversation
