Xander Marro
<p>A very special episode! Today we are chatting with Xander Marro, co-founder of the Dirt Palace, “a feminist cupcake encrusted netherworld located along the dioxin filled banks of the Woonasquatucket river, which is to say in Providence, RI USA.” The Dirt Palace is a feminist artist-run collective/residency program/space that has been a pivotal part of the artistic community in Providence for over 20 years, and this interview is the first in a three part series focused on the Dirt Palace and its two co-founders: Xander Marro and Pippi Zornoza. This series was made in collaboration with Voices in Contemporary Art (VoCA), and was recorded in December 2022 in Xander’s studio. In the interview, we discuss Xander’s creative origins, explorations in puppetry, animation, printmaking, film, live performance, and community arts organizing.</p>
