The Gutterblood Talk Show

Austin, Texas
The Gutterblood Talk Show is an experiment in seeding candid dialogue about the state of the Austin art scene as the city rapidly gentrifies.

Held off the grid in the warm intimacy of Sono Osato’s studio in Austin,Texas, it weaves people together across the diverse spectrum of cultural stakeholders to form new and stronger bonds and understanding within the Community.

Gutterblood means the kids that grow up together in the street in antiquated English slang, or, more succinctly, chosen family.
