Dan Wang (co-editor), Kimberly Bain, Ph.D. (Author/Artist), Pato Hebert (Artist) and Cheryl Derricotte (Artist) discuss artistic practice, the pandemic and the new book, Lastgaspism.

Lastgaspism: Art and Survival in the Age of Pandemic is a collection of interviews, critical essays and artwork that consider matters of life and death having to do with breath, both allegorical and literal. Bringing into mutual proximity the ecological, public health, political and spiritual crises that came to the fore in 2020, this book considers these compounding events and how they impact one another and asks with critical optimism what can happen in this moment of transition.
