Quick Q&A: Giulia Caliò, Jennifer Hudson, Kamryn Tulare, Faye Hadfield, Mitsuko Kuroki all respond to the same 4 questions which delve into their artistic practice:

1. What legacy would you like your art to leave?
2. Do you consider your art a form of resistance, healing, or invitation?
3. Are artists still able to create freely when so much of culture is shaped by algorithms and audience metrics?
4. Is there a piece from earlier in your career you would like to revisit with the skills you have now?
