On Being Ill is a podcast that platforms innovative thinkers working at the intersections of creativity and disability. Hosted by poet, academic, and author, Dr. Emilia Nielsen, you’ll hear conversations about illness, chronic pain, crip joy, and how we’re harnessing the capacity of our creative praxes to build worlds 𝘧𝘰𝘳 disability. In season 5 we speak with three scholars who are writing these worlds into existence—worlds where vocal differences are embraced; where access becomes more comprehensive; and where messages from the natural world , whether hushed or thunderous, are listened to.

Creating at the Threshold with Kim Edgar

What happens when you create a micropress dedicated solely to publishing the work of Northern comic artists? What does art look like at the threshold between genders; between life and death; between material and spiritual worlds? And why is it important to watch ladybugs lay eggs? In this episode, producer Coco Nielsen sits down with Daswson-based multidisciplinary artist Kim Edgar to talk about the importance of cultivating artistic community in the North, why healthy food and secure housing is the first step towards disability justice, and how following interest and pleasure leads to an ever-evolving artistic practice.
