About This Podcast

What is racial justice in the arts? How can artists, performers, and producers inspire new possibilities? Through deep conversations with guests, Race/Remix shapes the creative landscape of racial justice. Spanning topics in media, culture, healthcare, justice systems, immigration, and education, Season 1 offers critical insights by pairing creators and thinkers across disciplines and ideas. Share in the provocations. We invite you to join the conversation. Our first season launches this December 2023. Race/Remix is produced by Racial Justice Studio on the traditional lands and territories of the O’odham and the Yaqui people at the University of Arizona. Committed to diversity and inclusion, the University strives to build sustainable relationships with sovereign Native Nations and Indigenous communities through education offerings, partnerships, and community service. Find out more on the Race/Remix website, building knowledge one conversation at a time. Cover art and logo design by Deborah Ruiz.
