About this listen

This week Miranda speaks with artist and printmaker Aristotle Forrester, whose journey from skateboarding the streets of South Side Chicago to Columbia University’s MFA program is as rich and layered as his artwork. We talk about how printmaking keeps him grounded in the chaos of the studio, the spiritual and ancestral power of abstraction, and what the press bed has to do with decolonization. Aristotle shares stories of growing up with a powerhouse artist mother, how a Joan Mitchell painting cracked open his sense of what painting could be, and why print shops remind him of monasteries and skate parks. From Frantz Fanon to Dragon Ball Z, from late-night resistance prints to 16th-century engravings, this episode is a passionate ride through history, identity, and the revolutionary magic of ink on paper.
