Rosh Mahtani of Alighieri: Unlocking Courage, the Power of Heirlooms, and Rule-Breaking for Success

How do you call in courage in the face of paralysing fear? For Rosh Mahtani, the answer lies in Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, the centuries-old poem that fuels her cult jewellery brand, Alighieri, and recently earned her an OBE.In this conversation, Rosh explains how the timeless (and sometimes cheeky) lessons hidden in the text inspired her to rip up the rule book and transform career confusion to creative success. Her designs have become symbols of courage, strength and belonging for a devoted community, including members of The Lion Club—Marcus Rashford, Dina Asher-Smith, and Iris Law, to name a few.Rosh and Melanie talk about the sentence that started it all: “In the middle of the journey of life, I found myself lost in a dark wood, unsure of the right path.” They unpack the importance of being playful while learning, and how the endless pursuit of more unlocked a wildly successful brand, and then inspired charitable giving. Plus, why what “more” looks like for her today is wildly different.

Sí, ese autor del que te han contado por activa y por pasiva que publicó una obra maravillosa como es 'La Divina Comedia' (obra que estamos analizando en este podcast a través de diferentes capítulos), ha escrito más obras, por supuesto. Y con esa perspectiva, con la visión que nos dan textos como 'Vida nueva' o 'Convivio'. El primero, el "libro de mi memoria", como el propio Alighieri describió. El segundo, un tratado filosófico que nos permite adentrarnos en la mente brillante del autor.

Rosh is founder of the brilliant jewellery company Alighieri. We discuss her life story through the prism of the homes she's lived in, from humble beginnings in Zambia to the beautifully designed flat she now owns in Clerkenwell. When Rosh moved to London at the age of eight, she was the only person of colour in her school. She tells me how she's managed to channel this feeling of alienation towards a personal mission of bringing people together, celebrating commonality rather than difference. We talk about the importance of ritual at home and why she likes living on her own. We also discuss her suspicion of the colour green, the joy of negative space and why she imagines herself living in the desert as an old lady.

For jewelry designer Rosh Mahtani, the quest to create modern heirlooms originated in her love of one of humanity's greatest stories: Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. Growing up in Zambia before moving to London, her desire to express herself through a creative process brushed up against the outsider experience of the immigrant, and it took time to manifest as the destiny she was entitled to and could find a medium for. It was in a literature class at Oxford University that she discovered a sense of belonging in the Divine Comedy's opening lines: which paint the picture of a young creative, lost in a dark wood, trying to find his way in the world.This exploration of loneliness and personal identity led her to create her jewelry brand, Alighieri, from a desire to make others feel less alone, and more in touch with the unifying nature of our collective human experience across the ages. While Alighieri has gone on to become revered and sought out internationally, Rosh's works are entirely manufactured in the UK. In 2020, Princess Anne presented the self-taught designer with the Queen Elizabeth the second Award for British Design, the first time this prestigious honor has been bestowed upon a designer of jewelry.We discussed why the vulnerability of imperfection creates closeness, how artists can influence each other across time and media, and the romance of an individual's relationship to objects, from a family's “cave of treasures” to astronauts carrying talismans to space for luck and strength.Presented by NUVO Magazine.

Los Miserables Autor: Víctor Hugo Primera Parte: Fantine Libro séptimo El caso Champmathieu Cap III : Una tempestad en una cabeza. El lector ha adivinado sin duda que el señor Madeleine no es otro que Jean Valjean. Ya escudriñamos antes las honduras de esa conciencia; ha llegado el momento de volver a escudriñarlas. No lo hacemos sin que nos emocione y nos estremezca. No hay nada más terrible que esa especie de contemplación. Los ojos de la mente no pueden hallar en parte alguna ni resplandores más cegadores ni tinieblas mayores de las que halla en el hombre; no pueden quedarse clavados en cosa alguna que resulte más temible, más complicada, más misteriosa y mas infinita. Hay un espectáculo mayor que el mar, y es el cielo; hay un espectáculo mayor que el cielo, y es el alma por dentro. Escribir el poema de la conciencia humana, aunque no fuera sino en lo referido a un único hombre y aunque no fuera éste más que el más ínfimo de los hombres, sería fundir todas las epopeyas en una epopeya superior y definitiva. La conciencia es el caos de las quimeras, de las ansias y de los intentos, el horno de los sueños, el antro de las ideas de las que nos avergonzamos; es el pandemónium de los sofismas, es el campo de batalla de las pasiones. Penetrad en algunos momentos, a través del rostro lívido de un ser humano que piensa, y mirad lo que hay detrás, mirad en esa alma, mirad en esa oscuridad. Hay ahí, bajo el silencio externo, combates de gigantes igual que en Homero, refriegas de dragones y de hidras y bandadas de fantasmas como en Milton, espirales visionarias como en Dante. ¡Es sombrío ese infinito que todo hombre lleva en sí y al que enfrenta con desesperación las voluntades del cerebro y los hechos de la vida! Alighieri se topó un día con una puerta lóbrega ante la que titubeó. Y ahora nos hemos topado con una también nosotros, en cuyo umbral titubeamos. Entremos no obstante. Poco podemos añadir a lo que el lector ya sabe en lo tocante a lo que le había sucedido a Jean Valjean desde la aventura con Petit-Gervais. Como ya hemos visto, a partir de ese momento fue otro hombre. Lo que había querido hacer el obispo, lo ejecutó él. Fue más que una transformación, fue una transfiguración. Consiguió esfumarse, vendió los cubiertos de plata del obispo, no quedándose más que con los candeleros, como recuerdo, fue escurriéndose de ciudad en ciudad, cruzó Francia, llegó a Montreuil-sur-Mer, se le ocurrió la idea que ya hemos referido, llevó a cabo lo que hemos contado, consiguió volverse inaprensible e inaccesible y, a partir de ese momento, afincado en Montreuil-sur-Mer, dichoso por sentir que su pasado le entristecía la conciencia y que la última parte de su vida negaba la primera, vivió sereno, tranquilizado y esperanzado, sin pensar ya más que en dos cosas: ocultar su nombre y santificar su vida; escapar de los hombres y volver a Dios. Esos dos pensamientos iban tan unidos en su mente que sólo eran uno; ambos eran igual de absorbentes e imperiosos y regían sus mínimos actos. Solían estar de acuerdo para ordenar la forma de conducir su vida; lo orientaban hacia la sombra; hacían que fuera bondadoso y sencillo; le aconsejaban las mismas cosas. A veces, no obstante, entraban en conflicto. En semejante circunstancia, hemos de recordarlo, el hombre a quien toda la comarca de Montreuil-sur-Mer llamaba señor Madeleine no dudaba en sacrificar el disimulo del nombre a la santificación de la vida, la seguridad a la virtud. Así, pese a toda reserva y toda prudencia, se había quedado con los candeleros del obispo, se había puesto de luto al morir éste, llamaba y hacía preguntas a todos los niños deshollinadores que pasaban, había pedido informes de las familias de Faverolles y le había salvado la vida al anciano Fauchelevent ...

Born in Belgrade, the capital of Yugoslavia in 1946, to communist hero parents, Marina Abramović experienced a strict upbringing. Until the age of 29, she was under a curfew of 10 o'clock – resulting in the artist running away a few months later. Since the beginning of her career in the 1970s, Marina Abramović has stretched the limits of the body and mind as both object and subject. Early works include Rhythm 0 (1974), where she became an object of experimentation for the audience – laying out 72 objects, including a pistol, and stating they could be used on her as desired; or Rhythm 5 (1974), where she lay in the centre of a burning five-point star. She has withstood pain, exhaustion, and danger in her quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. Never slowing down, in 1997 she won the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale for a work that commented on war in Yugoslavia, and in 2010, she took over MoMA for The Artist if Present, where she sat motionless in a chair for eight hours a day – the show broke records, attracting 850,000 visitors. In 2012, she founded the Marina Abramović Institute (MAI), a non-profit foundation for performance art, and has since exhibited at the world's most prestigious institutions, earning her a global following. And in 2023, she will be the first woman to have a solo exhibition in the main galleries of the Royal Academy of Arts, London. TODAY Marina Abramović launches The Hero 25FPS – @artistispresent / https://circanft.tzconnect.berlin/ For her first performance launching today on the blockchain, Marina Abramović revisits one of her most personal and autobiographical works ‘The Hero (2001)' to present in collaboration with The Cultural Institute of Radical Contemporary Art (CIRCA) this digital exploration of time, immateriality and audience participation. Filmed at 25 frames per second, never before seen footage has been separated into 6,500 unique frames to create The Hero 25FPS, a genesis NFT collection by the warrior of performance art. A call for today's new heroes! Upon completion of THE HERO 25FPS, Marina Abramović, @nadyariot (Pussy Riot) and CIRCA will award a series of Hero Grants to people working within Web3 who demonstrate a desire to make the world a better place.

AVENA ANTONIO – DI SEREGO ALIGHIERI PIERALVISE (A CURA DI), Dante e Verona. Studi pubblicati nel 1921, Edizioni QuiEdit (tel. 045/595900), Verona 2021, pp. 422, fuori commercio Diffuso nell'estate 1921, il volume Dante e Verona, a cura di Antonio Avena (1881-1967) e Pieralvise di Serego Alighieri (1875.1943), fu molto apprezzato anche dalla critica accademica. In occasione del settecentesimo anniversario dantesco, il conte Pieralvise di Serego Alighieri, nipote di uno dei curatori di quel volume e discendente in linea diretta da Dante, attraverso Ginevra degli Alighieri che nel 1549 sposò il conte Marcantonio Serego, ha voluto ristampare il libro con una nota introduttiva di Gian Paolo Marchi, che lo situa nel suo contesto storico. L'opera contiene quindici saggi che trattano di Verona ai tempi di Dante (Luigi Simeoni), di Dante e i Signori della Scala (Léon Dorez), di Dante e Cangrande della Scala (Vittorio Cian) e di molti altri temi storici, artistici ed eruditi, come l'indagine di Bashford Dean sulla (presunta) staffa del cavallo di Cangrande conservata presso il Metropolitan Museum di New York. Il contributo più impegnativo, tanto da meritare una recensione da parte dello storico Federico Chabod, è forse quello che Luigi Carcereri dedica al tema Politica dantesca e politica scaligera. Molto interessanti sono anche i profili di alcuni discendenti di Dante, come l'umanista Dante III Alighieri (Vittorio Mistruzzi) e Jacopo di Pietro III Alighieri (Flaminio Pellegrini), nonché la storia della villa Alighieri di Gargagnago, tuttora abitata dai discendenti del poeta (Pieralvise di Serego).

Collecting raw emotion and translating it visually onto the canvas through paint, Dumas derives her work from second hand images. In turn, she creates internal portraits that trigger every sense in your body. Contradictory and complex, verging on the sublime and full of seduction, they are also enveloped in pain. Made without any prior studies, she holds a feeling, an emotion, movement and life in the second of the moment. Although her figures are still, it is like they are moving, and although they are immortalised, it is like they are breathing. I couldn't be more excited to say that she is the artist who we will be discussing today with Caroline Bourgeois, the curator of "Marlene Dumas: Open––End” at Palazzo Grassi in VENICE!! https://www.palazzograssi.it/en/exhibitions/current/open-end-marlene-dumas/ I was astonished going round this exhibition at Palazzo Grassi. I have seen a few works in the flesh by Dumas, but walking around, it was electrifying. Not only do these paintings pulsate with colour and exude sensuality, but they appear full of motion. Dumas captures this raw, internal human emotion that is at once full of strength but vulnerability. Not existing in any physical space, her works teeter on the threshold between life and death, internal and the external… It is like they are memories that are familiar, protective, but also ghoulish and haunting.

Created using a hand-coiled technique, Odundo's laboriously produced clay-based sculptures, that range from red-orange to black, are executed in an exquisite manner. Akin or reminiscent to the shape of the female body, she has said of her medium, I've always equated clay with the humanity that's within us, fragile like our bodies. It can tip over. You have it on its toes, but if you push just slightly on the wrong pivot, it will break your heart. Born in 1950, Odundo received her initial training as a graphic artist in Kenya before moving to the United Kingdom in 1971 where she enrolled on the foundation course at the Cambridge School of Art. In 1976 Odundo graduated in Ceramics, Photography and Printmaking from the University for the Creative Arts, and later completed her Postgraduate studies at the RCA. In museum collections that range from the British Museum to the the Brooklyn Museum, the V&A and the Met, Magdalene has exhibited across the globe, a recent favourite exhibitions was her spectacular display at the Hepworth Wakefield, where she put her work in dialogue with myriad artworks and artefacts from across time and from across the globe. In 2019, she was appointed Chancellor of the University for Creative Arts (UCA) and was made a Dame in the Queen's New Year Honours list 2020. But the reason why we are speaking with Magdalene today is because not only is she currently the subject of a major exhibition at the Fitzwilliam in Cambridge, but because she will also feature in this year's Venice Biennale, a show that will feature a staggering 180 women artists, and that I can't wait to find out more about.

Raised in a strict family in Florida with a father who opposed her artistic pursuits, she arrived in New York with just $4.60, and in 1922 enrolled at The Cooper Union School of Art. Coming to the fore in the 1920s, Savage mastered emotionally tender and stoic life-size figures and plaster portrait busts (painted with shoe polish for a bronzed effect), and her subjects ranged from dignified everyday Black figures to influential Harlemites, including W. E. B. Du Bois. Working with images to elevate Black culture into mainstream America, Savage was also a key community organiser, exhibitor and teacher to so many. Not only did she become the first African American woman in the US to open her own private art gallery, she was also appointed the first director of the Harlem Community Art Center. As confirmed by Jeffreen, who has previously said: “I don't think about Augusta Savage as someone who only made objects … [but rather as someone who] has really left behind a blueprint of what it means to be an artist that centres humanity.” ENJOY!

From her cascades of colour that pour out of museum ceilings to her smaller woven drawings – she likes to call ‘minimes' – Hicks pushes all boundaries of fibre in all different environments. Born in 1934, Hicks was educated at Yale in the 50s, where she was taught by Josef Albers and George Kubler, whose teaching inspired her to venture to Chile to witness the weaving culture in the Andes. Moving to Mexico, then Paris, Hicks has designed film sets to a 1000 thread-based medallion sculpture for the Ford Foundation, NY. Recent international exhibitions include the 2020 exhibition at MAK Vienna, the 2017 Venice Biennale, the 2014 Whitney Biennial, plus a major solo presentation at the Pompidou in Paris! But!

[This episode is brought to you by Alighieri jewellery: www.alighieri.co.uk | use the code TGWA at checkout for 10% off!] A pioneering authority on modern and contemporary Asian art and transnational art studies, Dr Alexandra Munroe is both the Director, Curatorial Affairs, at the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and Senior Curator, Asian Art at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City, where she has also led the museum's Asian Art Initiative.  Yoko Ono – a visionary, performance art and fluxus pioneer, whose extensive career has spanned from the 50s to the present day – is one of the world's leading artists. An advocate for world peace who has trailblazed both music and art, in pieces that continue to raise vital questions about the world we live in today, Yoko Ono is nothing short of an icon. Now aged 89, her extensive career has seen her fight for global injustices and make protest part of her art. She works with her body, uses objects familiar to us, employs words that I find speak to us on such a universal level, an example being her “instructions” series that open up the world in such illuminating ways it's impossible to not to see the world in an entirely new way. A pioneer in Performance Art, Yoko Ono (born 1933) set the precedent for disruptive performance pieces that simultaneously challenge and enforce a dialogue between artist and viewer. Raised in Japan, by 1953 she had settled in New York, and it was here that she became involved in the city's avant-garde Fluxus group: a predominantly political group of artists, poets and musicians who were invested in chance encounters and the unpredictability of performance. In this episode we discuss Ono's upbringing in Japan and the state of the country postwar, her foray into the NYC Downtown avant-garde scene, her first encounter with John Lennon who was mesmerised by her 'YES' work, her radical performances, such as Cut Piece, 1964, which questioned the power of trust and was one of the earliest works to invite audience participation.

In today's episode we take the chance of the huge wave of celebrations across Italy to mark the 700 years from the death of Dante Alighieri to look into the unique relationship between Tuscany and its most famous poet. Aside from the many events that will be organized all over the region in the next weeks and months, the bond between everyday Tuscans and Dante is much more intimate, almost visceral. For centuries there were many sharecroppers that couldn't read or write but were able to recite by heart entire chants of the Divine Comedy. The influence of his poetry extended across all aspects of everyday life, including popular festivals that lasted for millennia. The "Calendimaggio", a spring festival of Celtic and Etruscan origins, created the so-called "maggianti", groups of travelling troubadours that went from farm to farm to improvise poems to wish good luck to the owners. They always used the "ottava rima" made famous by Dante seven centuries ago. Sometimes they had battles, like today's rappers, to demonstrate who was the best or to settle scores. If for "the others" it may be enough to visit the places where Dante lived, for us Tuscans the only way to pay homage would be to make his poetry a living part of our lives, like it used to be in the past.

I'm starting a new series on a Christian Guide to Beauty and Design and I introduce it in this videoSupport the Channel: https://www.patreon.com/thebibleisartWebsite: https://www.thebibleisart.comEmail: thisdivineart@gmail.comTwitter: @johnbhiggins| Transcription |Welcome back to the Bible is Art and this week we're starting a new series on A Christian Guide to Beauty and Design.For awhile now I've been writing a book. And I've been writing a book because it didn't exist. You see, years ago I was teaching a high school course on Christian Worldview where we had sections on every main area of knowledge. So we had a Christian view of economics, science, ethics, mathematics and aesthetics, the study of beauty and design. And as I looked for material on Christian aesthetics I found that the books that were available were too broad, that is, books talking about the general importance of beauty in the Bible or theology. There wasn't anything that talked about what makes something beautiful, visually beautiful for a Christian. So life went on and my professional life moved into design and photography. So while my undergraduate and graduate training was in Biblical Studies, Philosophy, and Theology, my professional work was and is in an aesthetic discipline. And as I lived in the worlds of design and theology, some very obvious connections became clear to me. But in discussions with people and reading books on beauty, these simple insights were missing. It was for these reasons that I started to write a book on A Christian Guide to Beauty and Design. But as I was writing, I also started this YouTube channel and decided to just release videos on it as I write the book. That way I can get feedback and the book can be truer, better, and I hope more beautiful. So the goal of these videos and the book is simply this: to explain what makes something beautiful and why.And with that let me leave you with these words from the poet Francis Thompson:“The Church, which was once the mother of poets no less than of saints, during the last two centuries has relinquished to aliens the chief glories of poetry, she has retained the palm, but forgone the laurel. Fathers of the Church (we should say), pastors of the Church, pious laics of the Church: you are taking from its walls the panoply of Aquinas; take also from its walls the psaltery of Alighieri. Unroll the precedents of the Church's past; recall in your minds that Francis of Assisi was among the precursors of Dante, that sworn to poverty he forswore not Beauty, but discerned through the lamp Beauty the Light God. What you theoretically know vividly realize: that with many the religion of beauty must always be a passion and a power, that is only evil when divorced from the worship of Primal Beauty.”
