Lucy Rovetto is a Jersey City-based painter, printmaker, and curator whose work asks hard questions about power, fear, and the structures we don't let ourselves question. Raised in Greenville, she spent years traveling and working internationally before returning to Jersey City, where she won a city artist live/workspace lottery and never looked back. She's curated exhibitions at JCTCI and the Museum of Jersey City History, and her studio is open by appointment. Shownotes at natkalbach.com/podcast

Woolpunk® is a fiber artist, activist, and educator who has called Jersey City home since 1995. She stitches into enlarged photographs of buildings, streetscapes, and sites of tragedy — turning wool and thread into acts of remembrance, protest, and love. In this conversation, we explore what it means to be punk with a needle, how Jersey City became her muse, and the cultural losses the city still hasn’t reckoned with.

In this solo reflection, Nat looks back at Season 2's nine conversations and the thread that runs through them all: What gets preserved? What gets lost? Who decides? She connects these questions to her new painting "Unfinished – Past, Present, Future," which depicts the Jersey City Powerhouse using layers of sepia underpainting to represent the stories that are still showing through. shownotes at natkalbach/podcast
