In episode one, Director of Programs and podcast host Adrienne Elise Tarver is joined by the Chief Curator and Director of National Academician Affairs at the National Academy of Design, Sara Reisman. They discuss why the podcast was named after a surrealist collaborative drawing technique and question the type of audience it may attract and exchanges it may enable between Academicians. They also touch on what topics Sara hopes to hear about, as well as the role that collaboration could play.
