Volume 7
Conversations at Karma II
For our second annual public programming series at the Karma Bookstore, Rachel Tashjian, Ishmael Houston-Jones, Sara Marcus, Michael Imperioli, Suneil Sanzgiri, and Devonté Hynes talked about the driving forces behind their distinct practices and work, while discussing their approaches to technique, aspiration, and style.
Rachel Tashjian
in conversation with Emmanuel Olunkwa
“Style, to me, means there’s something happening on the exterior that suggests an interesting interior.”
Ishmael Houston-Jones
in conversation with Christine Pichini
“I’m perhaps most of all interested in a sense of disorientation, and of not knowing.”
Sara Marcus
in conversation with Dawn Chan
“I don’t come to this book as a parent; I come to this book as a descendant.”
Michael Imperioli
in conversation with Ryan Mangione
“All I had at that time was a headshot and a resume full of lies.”
Suneil Sanzgiri
in conversation with Drew Sawyer
“That’s the driving force in my work: what if this world didn’t have to be the world?”
Devonté Hynes
in conversation with Emmanuel Olunkwa
“I don’t think I’ve ever had ambition, but I’ve had drive.”
