Sant Khalsa part 1

Sant Khalsa is an artist, activist, educator, and longtime resident of Joshua Tree whose life and work embody the kind of transformation this podcast seeks to illuminate.

In Part 1 of this episode, Sant shares the early influences that shaped her, from her Jewish heritage to her spiritual awakening, her name change, and the beginnings of her creative and political journey. We discuss the power of art to reveal what’s unseen, the roots of her photography practice, and the pivotal moment when a California wildfire led her to environmental work that has now spanned decades.
