Kara Oehler is a radio documentary maker, media artist and co-founder and editor-in-chief of GoPop. GoPop--an app that allows users to communicate with GIFs, photos and videos--was recently acquired by BuzzFeed. Her Peabody award-winning radio work has aired on shows like RadioLab, Marketplace and Morning Edition and her interactive storytelling projects have been exhibited at MoMA and SFMoMA. She is also the co-founder of the interactive platform Zeega, the UnionDocs Collaborative Studio, metaLAB at Harvard, and Mapping Main Street. Previously, Kara was a Film Study Center Fellow at Harvard's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study and a Rockefeller Fellow with United States Artists. We talked with her about her early influences, growing up in the woods of Indiana, living out of her car to document America, and being a female in the tech and startup world. SHE DOES PODCAST, hosted by Elaine Sheldon and Sarah Ginsburg, is a bi-weekly showcase of creative women making their mark in media. Going beyond their current career status, we explore each woman’s past to understand how their personality, background and philosophy informs their work. Female writers, producers, directors, technologists, designers, cinematographers, musicians and journalists share their knowledge and personal stories.
