In June 2022, Sharon Bridgforth and Daniel Alexander Jones held an
intimate and searching conversation about the pragmatics of making
art and engaging the communities--living and ancestral--from which
their work emerges. The two longtime friends reflect on
Bridgforth’s bull-jean & dem/dey back, a collection of
two performance/novels written twenty-two years apart about the
eponymous bull-jean (published in Sept 2022 by 53rd State Press).
Bridgforth reveals how motherhood spurred her towards understanding
her genders and sexuality, and how the desire to love, heal, and
live in truth has compelled her writing and her life choices.
Bridgforth details the weave between her early work in social
justice (based in Austin, TX, where she and Jones met), her
artmaking, and her remarkable commitment to
community. Bridgforth's writing starts in the marrow of her
own healing. As they discuss Bridgforth's work--as well as the work
of such luminaries as Laurie Carlos, Robbie McCauley, Ntozake
Shange, Urban Bush Women, raúlrsalinas, and Beverly
Glenn-Copeland--Jones and Bridgforth offer tested strategies for
living a grounded artistic life.
