The Artish Plunge dives into deep conversation with Vermont-based multimedia artist, curator and professor HUMBERTO RAMIREZ, exploring the unique role of the arts as a language and the challenges —and rewards—of teaching art in an academic setting.
Escaping the political and social turmoil in Chile of the 1970s, Humberto came to the US to study molecular biology with an eye towards medical school before he felt the tug to study art. While his early paintings and video often reflected his political and social concerns, he shares how his current work has evolved to reflect his surroundings and stage of life, using space, light and color to create contemplative, abstract botanical fantasies.

The ARTish Plunge podcast is a labor-of-love, staff-of-one project. For less than the cost of swim googles, you can help me “keep swimming” and hopefully help someone else take their own ARTish Plunge.
