Embodied Worlds - A Podcast by The Jugaad ProjectAuthor: The Jugaad Project
Embodied Worlds explores and connects worlds of experience and perception, big or small by discussing practices of doing and making. This podcast is an educational initiative by The Jugaad Project, a digital OA platform at the intersection of belief/religion, material culture, and embodiment. Embodied Worlds dives deeper into the stories or themes highlighted in the open-access journal. Each 30 min episode features scholars and creatives who circulate worlds of various kinds. Through this we also think about the role of practices as bodies-and-materials.

Weaving Veils Between Worlds: Lily Hope, Chilkat and Ravenstail Weaver
Episode 2
Friday, 10 May, 2024
What does it mean when a Tlingit weaver says her work is a "veil between worlds"? To find out, listen to our interview with the inspiring Tlingit weaver, artist, teacher, and community facilitator, Lily Hope (Wooshkhindeinda.aat). Hope is a Chilkat and Ravenstail weaver based in Juneau, Alaska, of the Raven moiety, and belongs to her grandmother’s clan, the T’akdeintaan from the Snail House in Hoonah, Alaska. She learned weaving from her mother, master weaver Clarissa Rizal, and artist Kay Field Parker, and is from a matrilineage of weavers and healers. Hope’s weavings are in numerous museums and private collections. Hope reflects on weaving knowledge as a practice of spiritual and cultural making, and how she puts this embodied knowledge into her works. Each creation, much like Hope's life, mediates between worlds of the spiritual and mundane, the community and wider world. Image @sydneyakagiphoto
