Trina Robinson is a creator who explores memory through film, archival materials, and text. he has most recently been on tour with The Moth, telling the story behind her video essay The Call – the discovery and exploration of the lives of her enslaved ancestors in Kentucky. In this episode we talk about Trina’s long-haul creative process (she’s been researching the stories behind her film and talk for a decade), how she has become a vessel for her ancestors, the power that comes with committing to creating and committing to sharing your voice, and how to navigate the context switching between work and art and life that are all equally important and fulfilling in different ways.
