Sneak Peek: Tyler-Blackwell Podcast

Tyler Blackwell: (For) Queer folks, like many other groups who again have been historically marginalized groups, there are remnants of years and decades past in which folks who have not been allowed to be part of the conversation to walk in the door, to have a meaningful dialogue with the stakeholders or the power holders. And so while we're able to invite folks in there is maybe just a sort of inherent anxiety from queer makers that they would not be accepted for the work that they're making or the ideas that they're having, simply because it's queer and it's not part of a mainstream train of thought. And so it really is part of my job to create a space in which all ideas can exist equally and can coexist and have equal importance.
