This week I sit down to talk to Artist and writer Ramona Martinez.Ramona is a fine artist and activist involved with arts organisation and has worked within media and the arts industry for many years and is making waves as an artist should. Using stark religious Christian iconography in her work we sit down to discuss how she's been reclaiming the image and narrative of Mary from Christianity for anarchists and rebels and why it's so important for her.We talk about how media imagery has played such a large part in the last few years and how and why artists use it so often. Discussing all things independent art from things as punk zines, free art, graffiti and faith it's a deep dive on something we've not discussed before on YAC which is religion.You can check out Ramona's work on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/by_ramona_martinez/the Fucc zine :https://www.instagram.com/heyfucc/Her collab project, visions of Mary : https://www.instagram.com/visionsofmary/And all the other things she's got her hands on https://www.ramonamartinez.net/Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteFor more of Graham visitwww.facebook.com/yellingatconcretewww.instagram.com/yellingatconcretehttps://yellingatconcrete.bigcartel.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
