#55 – Who Controls the Narrative? | Carter Wynne
Manage episode 498428229 series 2860866
Artist and curator Carter Wynne joins the podcast. In this episode, Wynne shares how growing up in Washington, DC, and coming from a line of organizers shaped her commitment to social justice and art. Wynne talks about being a self-taught painter, exploring themes of inequality, and resistance. Wynne reflects on the process of using art to process deep emotions and to challenge who gets to shape stories—both in her own life and in the wider world. Wynne also talks about being a fourth-generation Washingtonian and why standing up for others is central to her art.
Wynne talks about sharing her story, handling others’ opinions, and establishing authentic connections.
Topics Covered:
- How family and DC roots inspire Carter’s art and activism
- Using self-taught painting to explore social justice and personal history
- Turning emotions and lived experience into creative fuel
- The importance of narrative and resisting outside pressure to change your story
- Balancing roles as artist, organizer, advocate, and curator
- Reflections on sisterhood, identity, and the value of curiosity
