Episode 58 — Ruth Asawa

It’s our final podcast of 2022!

DLS co-founders Florian Duijsens and Katy Derbyshire join producer Susan Stone to toast the holiday season, chat about this year’s good news in Dead Ladies, and to introduce our featured Dead Lady, artist Ruth Asawa.

Born to Japanese parents on a farm in California, Ruth Asawa first developed her artistic tendencies tracing shapes in the dirt. When her family was interned during World War II by the US government (along with thousands of US citizens with Japanese heritage, following the bombing of US military base Pearl Harbor by the Japanese) her life was put on hold, but she made opportunity where she could find it. When she was prevented from becoming a teacher by anti-Japanese prejudice and laws, she studied art and became a sculptor, often weaving cheap found material and wire. Her public artworks and her art education advocacy made her chosen home city, San Francisco, a more beautiful place, and her sculptures are now auctioned for millions, and exhibited around the world.

You can see wonderful pictures of Ruth and her art, and learn more about her on our episode notes page here: deadladiesshow.com/podcast/2022/12/14/podcast-58-ruth-asawa

Her estate’s website, a tremendous resource, can be found at https://ruthasawa.com/

We also mentioned the podcast Spatial Delight about geographer Doreen Massey, which is edited by Susan and hosted and produced by 2-time DLS Podcast star Agata Lisiak. You can find it here: https://thesociologicalreview.org/podcasts/spatial-delight/

Our theme music is “Little Lily Swing” by Tri-Tachyon.
