UCA’s Culture Bytes podcast season 3 is documenting this unique period in our history by featuring the reflections from Utah BIPOC and disabled artists on the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and deep-rooted racism. Join podcast host Ernesto Balderas for a live recording of the season’s final episode featuring a facilitated discussion with artists and cultural industry professionals about the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on their work, how they feel represented within the cultural industry, and what they feel their work might look like in a post-pandemic world. Catch up on past episodes at here.
