Hi friends. I'm Hope Mohr, artist and advocate.
For decades I have woven artmaking and activism.
the body is the brain is a podcast about art and social change. Through conversations with artists and cultural workers, we explore the practice of contemporary artmaking.
The podcast extends my decades-long work as a community-based curator of live performance. My guests include artists I know and love. Our conversations are informed by my wide-ranging career, which has included dancing professionally, writing a book about activist curation, making multidisciplinary performance, and working as an arts attorney.
These conversations cover both the mysteries of the creative process and the realities of producing art today. They uplift artists as essential workers. One conversation at a time, we build an artist commons—a context for practice.
Tune in and be a part of the art.
