Cathy Byrd is a contemporary artist, curator, educator, and art journalist with more than 20 years of experience in the field. Art censorship, the environment, activism, public and performance art, the global diaspora, and technology are among her research interests. Broadening access to art and culture has been her priority since 2011. In a roving audio podcast that she launched from a park bench in Brooklyn, Byrd demystifies contemporary art through stories appealing to the cognoscenti and the curious. She engages with today’s issues and ideas on a platform that fuses digital media, sound art and social practice. Fresh Art International has streamed programming from the Everglades and Key West, São Paulo, Paris, Berlin, Dominican Republic, Trinidad, and Dakar. The first 300 episodes of the podcast feature emerging and established artists, curators, writers, designers and filmmakers, as well as spiritual leaders, scientists, activists, and environmentalists at the center and fringe of creative communities around the world. Byrd considers it a privilege to witness and document the nuanced character of our cultural landscape.
