Special series gtalks! at NEW INC brings together the diasporic approach of gtalks! radio and the experimental ethos of NEW INC, the first museum-led incubator for art, design, and technology founded by the New Museum in 2014.

Each episode is a peek into the practice of storytellers through different mediums. Curating advice and visibility for communities navigating the emerging landscape of art, technology, and entrepreneurship. Between conversations, featured guests share a playlist of their most played recent tunes, as a sonic backdrop to their creative process.

The show is recorded in the NEW INC office, reimagined as a vessel for dissecting the intersectionality of art, design, and technology through individual conversations.

Shayn Jackson, a 3D artist and industrial designer based in Brooklyn, NY. Born in St. Louis, MO, Shayn experienced first hand the results of systemic racism and the necessity of context and compassion as acts of resistance against it. With a focus on craft and the African diaspora, Shayn interrogates the landscape of modern design and digital art by reaching back to the methods, rituals and materials of antiquity. His work aims to re-contextualize art and design for Black peoples, with hopes that future generations will enjoy a rich and equitable art community healed of the wounds left by erasure and imperialism.
