Each month, The Carla Podcast extends the thoughtful, critical conversation started by its parent publication, Contemporary Art Review Los Angeles.

For anyone curious about the forces shaping contemporary art in Los Angeles-from the ground up-this podcast provides essential, nuanced perspective directly from the people making it happen. Tune in for a monthly dose of genuine reflection and behind-the-scenes insight that complicates and enriches the understanding of a famously dynamic art scene.
