Through thoughtful conversations with emerging and established photographers, filmmakers, designers, musicians, chefs, writers, and other creative voices, each episode explores how artists build sustainable practices, stay connected to their communities, and create work that reflects the world around them. More than interviews, these are stories about what it takes to build a creative life—the challenges, choices, and experiences that make art matter. For makers, culture lovers, and the creatively curious.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-23T14:20:52.257530+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-truth-in-this-art-stories-that-matter-1372723"},"episode":{"title":"Lanise Howard","slug":"lanise-howard","published_at":"2026-03-27T07:01:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-truth-in-this-art-stories-that-matter-1372723/lanise-howard","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-truth-in-this-art-stories-that-matter-1372723","url":"https://www.thetruthinthisart.com/episodes/lanise-howard-on-world-building-demanding-respect-and-the-art-of-taking-your-time","audio_url":"https://op3.dev/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/prfx.byspotify.com/e/media.transistor.fm/68612d72/c916adc7.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Truth In The Art, the returning guest is Lanise Howard! Who is Lanise Howard: A Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist, Lanise Howard creates work centered around a reimagining of different histories, especially within the black experience. She pulls from the past and from the future, which she often sees in her dreams. Working across paintings, drawings, sculpture, and soon textiles, Howard is a world-builder whose portraiture depicts Black bodies and paints often untold stories. Lanise talks about the three bodies of work she's currently developing: her main project, a sci-fi world based in the future but with a story that started in the 1970s; a more personal body of work featuring herself traversing different landscapes; and an ancestral series honoring different ancestors from the past. We dive into her world-building practice, how she merges the \"future past\" or \"past future\" to create parallel universes and new dimensions, and her approach of asking which medium best conveys each story she wants to tell. She reflects on recent museum shows—particularly at the California African American Museum in partnership with Art and Practice—where she witnessed diverse audiences getting emotional while viewing her work. Lanise shares details about her Miami solo show, where she experimented with cultural elements like feathers and architectural details. She opens up about becoming more unapologetic in her work, navigating the art world as a Black woman who has to demand respect, and why her work is always uplifting—even when melancholic—to give people hope.
