Tbh, Amy was NOT a fan of Elizabeth Olds coming into this month, but Elizabeth ended up stealing her heart. Listen as Amy chats off Chris's ear about Elizabeth's merits, including Elizabeth's desire to make art for everyone, teach younger generations how to create, experiment, and tell stories of the marginalized and oppressed.

Making art during the Great Depression might not be all that different than art now. As America undergoes identity shifts, it's up to artists to aid the construct of new narratives. Art is one of our most powerful tools for storytelling and activism, and we can use Elizabeth's guidance as we charge on.

Amy Elizabeth is an artist and film photographer living in Minneapolis, MN. She runs the group The Art Lab for creatives who want to connect and push forward in their artistry. She is also the owner/operator of Film Lab 135, a bespoke lab dedicated to processing experimental film, and specializing in film soup. You can find her on Instagram, substack, and bluesky @itsamyliz.
