  • Liminal Lesbians (Hilma Af Klint's Spiritualism: Pt 2)
    Feb 5 2024

    Part 2! Zelda talks with artist and scholar R. Jamin about abstract painter Hilma Af Klint's legacy as a queer icon and mystical legend. By convening with spirits through routine séances, Hilma and her coven recorded messages from the beyond with journals and art. Since Zelda and R couldn't get enough of the subject matter, this is an extra enriching two part special.

  • Liminal Lesbians (Hilma Af Klint's Spiritualism: Pt 1)
    Aug 18 2023

    Your host Zelda Reed returns after a fruitful summer hiatus to talk with artist and scholar R. Jamin about lesbians in the 19th century spiritualist spaces and why this movement became a refuge for queerness. If you're curious about marginalized sexualities in religious studies, or how spiritualism was built by the alphabet mafia, this episode is for you. Since Zelda and R couldn't get enough of the subject matter, this is an extra enriching two part special, with the first episode setting the groundwork for the deep dive that is episode two.
