Summary
Earlier this year (2025) saw ChaShaMa's last-ever annual fundraising gala. For three decades, this wild and storied event, often taking place in repurposed New York City commercial real estate and featuring dozens of diverse artists and performers, raised funds for creatives at all stages of their careers to help place them in studio, retail, and exhibition spaces, more often than not, completely free of charge. On this episode of the Good Standing podcast, Durst, a disciple of the late theatre director and activist, Reza Abdoh, reflects on thirty years of hunting down unique spaces for art activations, being a rebellious teen, growing up with learning disabilities and transcending them, the responsibilities of her own privilege as it relates to her family, recent success stories within ChaShaMa, and what's next for her and commercial real estate in general. Anita brings her well-earned wisdom, playful mischievousness, and loose, quirky charm to this swift and informative episode.
