Die Fotografin des artspring artwalkHinter den Kulissen des artspring Kunstfestivals: Katy Otto dokumentiert seit 2020 die hybriden Aktionen, mit denen artspring auch im Lockdown die Arbeiten der teilnehmenden Künstler:innen sichtbar gemacht hat. Als Filmemacherin hat sie mehrere Ausstellungsfilme gedreht, so auch in diesem Jahr "Bild einer Ausstellung" in der Galerie Parterre als filmisches Porträt von 90 Ausstellenden. Als Fotografin hat sie die Open-Air-Ausstellung artspring artwalk begleitet und in Szene gesetzt. Im Podcast spricht sie über ihre eigene Arbeit im künstlerisch-angewandten Bereich und, nicht unkritisch, über das, was sie bei artspring vor die Linse bekommt.

"Back to Base" with Katy Otto

In this episode I catch up with Katy Otto, a drummer, writer, activist, and parent who hails from the Washington DC area and currently lives in Philadelphia. She has played in bands such as Del Cielo, Trophy Wife, and Bald Rapunzel and currently plays in the band Rainbow Crimes. She has also run the independent record label Exotic Fever for 20 years. Katy currently works as Director of Communications for the Juvenile Law Center in Philadelphia and has worked at a number of organizations dedicated to social justice issues – reproductive health and rights, sexual violence prevention, intimate partner violence, homelessness, and veterans’ issues.During our conversation we discuss how Katy fell in love with drums at a Hole concert, being a girl drummer who quote “hits hard,” the administrative work of creativity, DIY touring, punk and sobriety, talking a “both and” approach to political liberation and reform, and punk, feminism, and the act of parenting, with bonus parenting advice by way of Ian MacKaye.Featuring the songs “Half Lie” by Taleen Kali.  Riot Woman artwork and logo by Aurora Lady.
