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.

Secret Riso Club is an artist-run space that serves as a resource for independent publishing, art book production, art project development, as well as for exhibitions and distribution. The use of print & design as a tool for social change, creativity, and community empowerment drive the work and programming. Rooted in the values of collaboration, equity, and artistic expression, SRC strives to cultivate an environment where individuals from diverse backgrounds can come together to learn, create, and connect. SRC is run in collaboration between Gonzalo Guerrero and Tara Ridgedell.

The space features a bookstore with publications from independent artists and publishers across the world, a workshop space for classes in bookmaking, printmaking and community building, and a print production studio with access for printers and artists.

The series’ jingle is the work of composer and sound artist Etienne Mason, known professionally as MAYSUN. MAYSUN, recognized for his unique fusion of drumming and immersive soundscapes, has crafted a piece that features a sampled string riff from the Uyghur Sataer, ساتار. This riff was recorded by Gulnihal during her recent visit to Kashgar, China.
