From My Deepest Creases

Callie and Yoni Wolf (of WHY?) along with his dog Marty discuss the complexities of living in a body subject to constant shifts and waves. How does this layered lived experience sculpt their relationship to internal bodily systems, the creative process and the ways in which they move through social situations, art communities, and the seemingly mundane. What steps, choices, as well as the desire for control arise from experiencing the unknown in your insides and how does this lived experience influence and/or contribute to an awe-some and deeply intimate relationship with our internal organs and the “deepest creases” of ourselves.

What does it mean to be open and honest about bodily experiences which we experience in isolation? How does intergenerational trauma manifest as chronic illness and how do we acknowledge this passing down of memories, feelings, and body sensations? Callie asks Yoni about certain lyrics which touch on these ideas of “health”, illness, and the desire for ease in our brains and bodies. The interview is inserted amidst a special curation of music which includes songs from Yoni’s various projects which touch on these ideas of honoring the abject, unknown, confusing, challenging, and the very intimate experience of living in a body which ebbs and flows.
