In this bilingual episode of InResidency, artist Majo Martínez joins us for a moving conversation about trans identity, grief, and the role of art as both ritual and resistance. Speaking in both English and Spanish (with subtitles available on YouTube), Majo reflects on their transition, their practice as a weaver and photographer, and the visual metaphors that help them process loss, blindness, borderline identity, and becoming.

This episode builds on the feature Born Smelling a Flower, now available in English and Spanish on Substack.

A conversation on queer visibility, analog nostalgia, and surviving the algorithm—one photograph at a time.

In this episode of INresidency: Queer & Allied Creatives, photographer Michael Epps joins us from Charleston, SC, to talk about the evolution of his practice—from shooting 120mm film in New York to quietly subverting Instagram’s shadowbans. We discuss his love of black and white photography, the emotional charge of working with nude male subjects, and how soul—not tech—should guide every image. With deep reflections on memory, solitude, and resilience, Epps reminds us why queer art still matters—and why it must be seen. Part of The Pride Collections: Chosen Family series, featuring artists from all over.
