Portrait of the Artist where we learn about the musician's journey, identity, maybe some of their aesthetic or obsessions. And of course, we talk about their latest project.

In this episode, Jonah talked to Nnux (Ana E. López). She’s a “multidisciplinary artist, composer, and performer from Mexico, currently based between Mexico City and Berlin. Her practice weaves electronic and acoustic music, performance art, installation, and digital art, with a deep investment in symbolic languages, poetry, and storytelling. She explores how art can serve as a space for reflecting on our collective potential for personal and social transformation — and our capacity to imagine different futures.” Her new album Metomorphosis just came out!

They talk about the large overarching theme of the album is exploring representations of femininity from different places around the world through mythological stories and metamorphosis aka shifting forms. Notably, shape-shifting myths that involve the Aurhuaco people from Columba, which involve shapeshifters who shift into non-human beings in nature to gain perspective. Check out her album at Metomorfosis when you get a chance!
