## Resource

In our latest episode of Voices of Indianapolis, we venture to the vibrant Re:Public, the museum pop-up for the 10 East Indy Arts Hub, where we sat down with its dynamic curator, Primrose Paul. Fresh out of college herself, Prim offers a refreshing and relatable perspective as she guides us through her vital work in the Indianapolis arts scene. Prim's passion lies in ensuring artists have space to thrive, running an artist residency program, and hosting engaging community art and open mic nights. A talented painter trained at the University of Indianapolis, Prim shares the inspirations behind her own art, her journey of self-discovery through diverse mediums from oil painting to welding, and how she represents life's delicate balance through her work. Listeners will hear how the social issues of 2020 profoundly shaped her path as both an artist and a curator, driving her commitment to highlighting underrepresented populations in Indianapolis art. Prim discusses the powerful role art plays in sparking conversations about social change – even recalling how a piece on food deserts opened her eyes to new dialogues. Prim also offers incredibly candid advice on overcoming creative blocks and the intersection of art and procrastination. This episode is a fantastic opportunity for our high school students to gain real-world insights from someone navigating the exciting early stages of their professional journey, as Prim even deconstructs the XQ competency of "art analysis," guiding us on how to truly engage with art.
