Welcome back to Sus Art Club — where creativity gets to grow slow, weird, and real. This week we sit down with Cristina Victor, a Cuban-American multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans ceramics, performance, writing, community building, and radical caretaking.

We talk art school, studio scraps, dog love, and how mentorship, migration, and Miami shaped her creative voice. Cristina shares how slowing down, nurturing home, and tending plants all connect to her artistic evolution — and why being a creative sometimes means walking away from the work that no longer serves you.

We get into:
🌿 Drawing as a portal & doodling as resistance
🧠 When performance stopped performing & she needed to pause
📚 Books that stay with us — and making art in response
🎓 The art school paradox: pressure + permission
🏡 Studio spaces, studio dogs & building creative homes
🪴 Plants, family, land, and the echo of ancestors in everything
💬 Why we need more support, more visibility, and way less shame

If you’re deep in the process of becoming — or re-becoming — this one is for you.
