Artist Emily Ludwig Shaffer joins the podcast to discuss her work in the group exhibition “No Place” - Alison Yip, Emily Ludwig Shaffer and Quintessa Matranga - at L'INCONNUE gallery, Montréal. In this episode we discuss Emily's upbringing, the influences of her architect mother, feminist marxist Silvia Federici's discoveries of the origin of the word 'gossip', Emily's artistic technique and personal symbolism, the redefining of the female figure in art, and what spirituality means to Emily.
