Inclusion and equity don't just happen because it is part of your mission statement. Creating a space where all members feel a sense of belonging is a process. And today I am in conversation with Dori Tunstall who has been working in the area of diversity, equity, inclusion and decolonization. Dori Tunstall is Dean of Design at Ontario College of Art and Design University in Toronto, Canada. Our conversation stretches from the language of inclusion to the insights that mushrooms and design thinking bring to our understanding of our fundamental interconnectedness.

What is needed to create an economic system that supports human and planetary flourishing? Renegade Economist Della Duncan speaks about what is needed, deeper connection with our values. Della is founder and co-host of the Upstream Podcast where she invites listeners to imagine what a sustainable, just and democratic economy might look like. In our conversation Della shares the journey she took to reimagining economics, and shares ways we can move from consumption to connection.

Today I'm talking to filmmaker, installation artist and photographer Mischa Leinkauf whose work explores the borders, borders of buildings, bridges, public space, laws, and nation states. This season I've been talking to artists about their first solo show. Many of his works are performative interventions and the definition of a show is somewhat nebulous. Who sees the work, when they see the work, do they even know it is a work?

Time and a sense of new possibilities are essential for the creative process. Today I speak with the co-creators of KuBa Kulturabahnhof where I've been in residence for a month about the artistic process and the gifts of the residency sharing space with the villages of Klien Warnow and beyond. I also speak with the artistic team of Hyenaz, Kathryn Fischer and Adrienne Teicher about their week of research on the topic of extraction, capitalism and the arts.

The creative process is not a straight line. This week painter Jamila Barakat and video/audio artist Laura J. Lukitsch share reflections on their creative process during their artist residency at KuBa Kulturbahnhof. The conversation covers feeling like a fraud, thoughts on beauty and disgust and a discussion on finding balance between pleasant and controversial material.
