Ishtara opende seizoen 3, en sluit het bij deze als laatste gast ook weer af. En niet zonder reden. Het is een enorm bewogen jaar geweest waarin de teachings uit haar boek en eerdere podcasts van onschatbare waarde zijn gebleken. Bijvoorbeeld Ishtara's kijk op de Wet van Aantrekkingskracht maakt dat we nog eens extra goed en diep kunnen kijken naar wat er in en om ons heen allemaal gebeurd. Wat zegt dit over onszelf?

Artist LR (Lisa) Vandy shows EMPIRE LINES the ropes in a studio visit to Chatham's Royal Navy Dockyard in Kent, unravelling entangled imperial and industrial relationships, dance in the African diaspora, and women's work in abstract sculpture. In 2022, sculptor LR (Lisa) Vandy relocated her studio from the city of London to Chatham Ropery which, with original machinery from the 19th century, has preserved traditional practices and knowledges. Rope became essential to Britain's burgeoning maritime industry during the Georgian and Victorian eras, tied to the construction of empires, colonial hierarchies, and sites of slavery. Building in collaboration with the resident Master Ropemakers, her sculptures allude to and playfully subvert the media's historic associations and legacy now. From her five-metre-high figure for Liverpool's Canning Dock, to her new, smaller body of works, Lisa walks through her collection and archive on Kent's waterfront. Born in Coventry in the Midlands, she shares her experiences of growing up ‘by the sea' in Sussex as a young person of Nigerian and Irish heritages, and the racialised exclusion some face from leisurely pursuits in natural environments. Inspired by Barbara Ehrenreich's 2006 book, Dancing In The Streets, Lisa unravels ‘collective joy' and the central role of Black women. We see how dance has been used to resist oppression across continents, with spirit dances, raves, festivals, and carnival masquerades, interests shared by contemporaries like Theaster Gates, Hew Locke, Romuald Hazoumè, Zak Ové, and Hassan Hajjaj. Straw-fibre figures recall Grain Mother deities, corn dollies, and Kumpo, spinning dances from the Casamance (Senegal) and Gambia. With her ongoing series of Hulls, comprised of found objects, boats, and fishing floats ‘plundered' from DIY stores, we discuss her interest in the ‘underbelly of empire', knotty relationships between rail, sail, and transport, and ‘migrant crises' in the Mediterranean Sea today. Drawing on her research in museum collections, ancient silverwares, and indigo trade routes, Lisa moves on the discussion about globalised 'African masks' as symbols of ‘aggressive protection'. We discuss gender and identity, and how her curvilinear copper sculptures challenge conventional representations of the ‘female form'. Dynamic drawings of tornados tell of her designs for statues in the landscape - role models for those subject to the male gaze - exposing the empowering potential of contemporary art. Plus, Lisa shares why her tactile public artworks are designed to be destroyed. LR Vandy: Twist runs at the October Gallery in London until 25 May 2024. Dancing In Time: The Ties That Bind Us, commissioned by Liverpool Museums for the International Slavery Museum's Martin Luther King celebrations in 2023, stands at the Historic Dockyard Chatham in Kent until 17 November 2024.

“I've certainly met men like Cole and you are fooled by them because they're fooling themselves. They're so dangerous and insidious for that reason, because you are actually sucked in a bit” - Araminta Hall Are you “one of the good guys”, supportive of women's rights and equality and opposed to gender injustice? This episode will make you think twice. Cole has escaped to the coast after his marriage imploded, and finds himself caught up in a media firestorm after two feminist activists go missing in the area. One of the Good Guys is the sixth book from established author Araminta Hall and is an exploration of how women are treated in the modern world. Written in three distinct parts, we first see life through the eyes of “good guy” Cole. The story is then told through the eyes of his ex-wife, and that's when we begin to see his perception of himself unravel. And in part three we're caught up in the social and mainstream media reaction to what happens to Cole. This episode explores the abuse women still have to put up with in a post #MeToo era, and the fear they still feel simply walking the streets alone. It looks into the insidious nature of patriarchal power. And it ventures into the territory of social media, and how damaging our obsession with “the truth” can be. In this episode, you will learn: Why stories about minorities facing injustice don't need to be victim stories. Why characters that believe they are good are more frightening than those that are pure evil. To examine your own ideas about being “one of the good guys”. Find out more about Araminta Hall here.

Artist Yinka Shonibare CBE RA, and Hans Ulrich Obrist and Tamsin Hong of The Serpentine Galleries, coat London's historic statues and public monuments with fresh layers of history. For over 30 years, Yinka Shonibare CBE RA has used Western European art history to explore contemporary culture and national identities. With his iconic use of Dutch wax print fabric - inspired by Indonesian batik designs, mass-produced in the Netherlands (and now China) and sold to British colonies in West Africa - he troubles ideas of ‘authentic' ‘African prints'. Painting these colourful patterns on his smaller-scale replicas of sculptures of British figures like Winston Churchill, Robert Clive, and Robert Milligan, he engages with contemporary debates raised in Black Lives Matter (#BLM) and the toppling of slave trader Edward Colston's statue in Bristol. Suspended States, the artist's first London solo exhibition in over 20 years, puts these questions of cultural identity and whiteness, within the modern contexts of globalisation, economics, and art markets. Wind Sculptures speak to movements across borders, other works how architectures of power affect refuge, migration, and the legacies of imperialism in wars, conflict, and peace today. With his Library series, we read into Wole Soyinka, Bisi Silva, and canonised 17th, 18th, and 19th century artists like Diego Velázquez, focussing on Yinka's engagement with Pablo Picasso, modernism, and ‘primitivism'. Hans Ulrich Obrist and Tamsin Hong highlight the connection between the Serpentine's ecological work, and Yinka's new woodcuts and drawings which consider the impact of colonisation on the environment. As a self-described ‘post-colonial hybrid', Yinka details his diasporic social practices, including his Guest Project experimental space in Hackney, and G.A.S. Foundation in Nigeria, and collaborations with young artists and researchers like Leo Robinson, Péjú Oshin, and Alayo Akinkubye. Yinka Shonibare: Suspended States runs at the Serpentine Galleries in London until 1 September 2024.

Artist and curator Lubaina Himid unravels entangled histories of transatlantic slavery and textile production, across continents, and Britain's museum collections, via Lost Threads (2021, 2023). Lubaina Himid considers herself ‘fundamentally a painter', but textiles have long been part of her life and practice. Had she stayed in Zanzibar, the country of her birth in East Africa, she may have become a kanga designer, following a pattern set by her mother's interest in fashion, and childhood spent around department stores in London. First commissioned by the British Textile Biennial in 2021, and installed in Gawthorpe Hall's Great Barn, her 400m-long work Lost Threads' flows in a manner reflective of the movement of the oceans, seas, and waterways which historically carried raw cotton, spun yarn, and woven textiles between continents, as well as enslaved people from Africa to pick raw cotton in the southern states of America, and workers who migrated from South Asia to operate looms in East Lancashire. Now on display in Bath, the rich Dutch wax fabrics resonate with the portraits on display in the Holburne Museum's collection of 17th and 18th century paintings - symbols of how much of the wealth and prosperity of south-west England has been derived from plantations in the West Indies. Lubaina talks about how the meaning of her work changes as it travels to different contexts, with works interpreted with respect to Indian Ocean histories in the port city of Sharjah, to accessible, participatory works in Cardiff, and across Wales. We consider her ‘creative interventions' in object museums and historic collections, ‘obliterating the beauty' of domestic items like ceramics, and her work with risk-taking curators in ‘regional' and ‘non-conventional' exhibition spaces. We discuss her formative work within the Blk Art group in the 1980s, collaboration with other women, and being the first Black artist to win the Turner Prize in 2017. And drawing on her interests in theatre, Lubaina hints at other collections and seemingly ‘resolved' histories that she'd like to unsettle next. Lubaina Himid: Lost Threads runs at the Holburne Museum in Bath until 21 April 2024. For more about Dutch wax fabric and ‘African' textiles, hear the British Museum's Dr. Chris Spring on Thabo, Thabiso and Blackx, Araminta de Clermont (2010). For more about Claudette Johnson, hear curator Dorothy Price on And I Have My Own Business in This Skin (1982) at the Courtauld Gallery in London. Hear artist Ingrid Pollard on Carbon Slowly Turning (2022) at the Turner Contemporary in Margate. Hear curator Griselda Pollock from Medium and Memory (2023) at HackelBury Fine Art in London. And for more about the wealth of colonial, Caribbean sugar plantations which founded the Holburne Museum, hear Dr. Lou Roper on ⁠Philip Lea and John Seller's A New Map of the Island of Barbados (1686)⁠, an object in its collection.

Artist Serge Attukwei Clottey joins EMPIRE LINES live at the Eden Project in Cornwall, to discuss Afrogallonism, uplifting communities with upcycled plastic waste, and how the traditional Ghanaian harvest festival of Homowo challenges colonial hierarchies of gender. Accra-based artist Serge Attukwei Clottey works across installation, performance, photography, painting, and sculpture, exploring personal and political narratives rooted in histories of trade and migration. He refers to his practice with yellow plastic, Kufuor-era, cooking oil cans as ‘Afrogallonism', using found and recycled materials to create a dialogue with the city's cultural history and identity, whilst exploring the meanings that are invested in everyday objects, and how they circulate in local and global economies. Referencing Ghana's historic wealth, a region known as the Gold Coast during British colonial rule during 19th and 20th century, Serge's installations like Follow the Yellow Brick Road (2015-2020) also serve a practical function, in creating wealth and employment for the local community. On display alongside his existing work at the Eden Project is a new audio piece, a remembrance of famine that once befell pre-colonial Ghana, and is once again impacting farmers as a consequence of climate change. Serge talks about his family's migration from city of Jamestown/Usshertown, in British Accra, to La (Labadi), on the coast, and how water has long infiltrated his practice. We discuss the realities of resource extraction and consumption captured by his work, connecting with the likes of Romauld Hazoumè, El Anatsui, Zina Saro-Wiwa, and Wura-Natasha Ogunji. Serge shares his interest in political performance art, and collaborating with young people. We open My Mother's Wardrobe (2015-2016), in which Serge invited men to wear women's clothes and make-up to perform everyday and ritual tasks, disrupting conventions of gender and sexuality imposed upon and appropriated by many African countries during colonial rule. And Serge talks about his commissions across the world, from Desert X, to Kew Gardens, and the National Portrait Gallery in London, where his Windrush Portrait of Mr. Laceta Reid proudly stands.

The rich tidal marshes and mixed oak and pine forests of the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge stretch back into time. Into this lush, mysterious world of cricket song and nesting waterfowl in Dorchester County on the edge of the Eastern Shore, Araminta Ross was born in March 1822. Araminta would later be called “Moses” by the enslaved people she led to freedom along the Underground Railroad. Most of us know her as Harriet Tubman. The steadfast abolitionist grew up on a 10-acre property near the mouth of the Blackwater River. Over decades, Tubman's childhood home was lost in the swampy marsh, but then rediscovered in 2021. A new documentary, “Ben's Ten: Chattel Slavery on Maryland's Eastern Shore,” visits the site, and explores, the lives of enslaved people who lived, worked and died here. It's called “Ben's Ten: Chattel Slavery on Maryland's Eastern Shore.” The documentary was produced by Maryland Public Television in partnership with the state's Department of Public Transportation State Highway Administration. We speak to Dr. Julie Schablitsky, Chief of Cultural Resources at the Maryland Department of Transportation, who helped rediscovery the historical site. We are also joined by Ernestine “Tina” Martin Wyatt, a descendant of Harriet Tubman. (Photo by Lorie Shaull, via Flickr.

Ishtara is mentor, coach en teacher voor intra-persoonlijke ontwikkeling, en bestseller auteur van het boek ‘The Divine Romance Experience'. Met een diep begrip voor de uitdagingen die gepaard gaan met het leven, begeleid ze mannen en vrouwen over de hele wereld in hun proces van evolutie en groei om uiteindelijk als mens tot je hoogste goddelijke potentieel te komen. Ishtara werd geboren met een hoog ontwikkeld bewustzijn en zogenoemde paranormale gaven. Dit stelde haar in staat om naast de aardse 3D realiteit ook andere realiteiten en demissies waar te nemen. Hierdoor ontwikkelde ze als jong meisje hele andere interesses dan de meeste kinderen. Ze was zich ervan bewust dat mensen uit meer bestaan dan alleen het fysieke lichaam en dat er meer is dan dit huidige leven. Als kind onderging ze ernstige traumatische ervaringen, ze werd jarenlang seksueel misbruik en mishandeld. Uiteindelijk kwam ze in een opvanghuis terecht, waar ze verbleef tot ze de volwassen leeftijd bereikte. Door deze extreem onveilige ervaringen in haar jeugd, werd haar zoektocht naar de bron van liefde en veiligheid versneld in gang gezet. Zo leerde ze al heel jong om naar binnen te keren. Dit leidde tot een spirituele ontwaking waarbij een hogere bron van liefde zich binnen in haar openbaarde. Nadat ze enkele jaren regelmatig op Ibiza verbleef, emigreerde ze in 2020 met haar gezin naar de Algarve in Portugal waar ze een ‘spirituele sanctuary' oprichtte. Rond diezelfde tijd begon ze met haar mentor- en coaching werkzaamheden. Als mentor en coach draagt ze de kracht en de effecten van haar eigen werk uit in haar leven en in haar business. Zo ontwikkelde ze onder andere online-programma's die in het teken staan van de evolutie van je ziel in samenwerking met je Hogere Zelf. Ishtara draagt een authentiek bewustzijn uit over de betekenis van het leven, groei, evolutie en transformatie. Ze heeft het vermogen om de essentie van je eigen ziel en je relatie met ‘The Divine Source' bespreekbaar, voelbaar en leefbaar te maken. In haar ogen kun je in afstemming met je eigen divinity en de bron, liefde, succes, voorspoed en overvloed ervaren. Vanuit dit gedachtegoed schreef ze haar boek ‘The Divine Romance Experience' dat een nummer 1 bestseller werd in verschillende categorieën op Amazon.

Araminta "Minty" Ross, who was later known as Harriet Tubman, was born enslaved around 1820. She died in 1913. As a child, Tubman suffered from the brutality and inhumanity of slavery. When she was five years old, she could not sleep during the night because she had to care for a baby. If the child cried, Harriet would be beaten. She was also forced to check muskrat traps in rivers, sometimes even in freezing weather. When she was a teen, a slave owner threw a weight at a man, but it hit Tubman in the head. The injury from this assault caused her to suffer from migraine headaches and uncontrolled sleeping spells. However, after this horrific event, Tubman also began to have what she called, visions from God showing her how to escape slavery. Eventually, Harriet not only achieved freedom, but she returned several to slave plantations to free other people including members of her family. Some historians believe that Tubman helped to emancipate at least 300 people. Amazingly, Tubman worked as a nurse, scout, and spy during the Civil War. This educational video is just a snippet of Tubman's legacy of courage, resilience, sacrifice, and selflessness. “I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say — I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.”—Harriet Tubman (1869) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/avant-garde-books/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/avant-garde-books/support

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Berlin has emerged as a crucial center of activity for both Ukrainian refugees and Russian political exiles. It is here that many known and emerging leaders of the Russian opposition, political activists, human rights defenders, and independent journalists live, work, and gather to meet and discuss Russia's future. Izabella Tabarovsky visited Berlin to meet with some of the people who are involved in Berlin's emerging Russian political diaspora culture. In this episode of The Russia File, she talks to Alexey Yusupov of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation and Jennifer Gaspar of Araminta about Berlin as a city and a home for new Russian political exiles; what makes Germany in general and Berlin in particular such a welcome place for this group; and about organizations that have emerged to help them escape Putin's regime and find safety abroad.

Dr. Chris Spring tears up stereotypes of African textiles, through Araminta de Clermont's 2010 photograph, Thabo, Thabiso and Blackx. Three young men wait at a bus stop near Cape Town in South Africa, clad in blankets of brilliant blue and rose red. Historically, these 'African' woven textiles were originally manufactured by Europeans during the colonial period. Dutch imperial traders, who first entered the Indian Ocean trade in the mid-seventeenth century, only added to the existing vigorous trade in textiles which had been carried out by Indian, Arab, and Chinese traders for many centuries before the arrival of Europeans. From indigo resist-dyed blauwdruk, to Swahili kanga, and South African shweshwe, these ‘authentic' products are truly the hybrid product of places and peoples working across and within empires - from factories in Manchester, to migrant merchants from Kutch, and businesses within the Japanese Empire. This confident photograph speaks to how patterns and designs had always been dictated by African taste, aesthetics, and patronage, and utilised by women to communicate across gendered and religious social boundaries. Now representative of diverse African identities and indigeneity, these fabrics unsettle ideas of what an 'African' textile should look like, revealing innovation and modernity - all the way to the Marvel film, Black Panther. PRESENTER: Dr. Chris Spring, artist, writer and former curator in the Department of Africa, Oceania and the Americas at the British Museum He was the curator of Social Fabric: African Textiles Today, at the British Museum and William Morris Gallery.

"It's a joy to watch people relax into who they are." Araminta is passionate about helping people come back to their authentic truth and expression by learning how to be with their emotions and their full range of human experience. How do we learn from our emotions and our body? It was a pleasure to get Araminta's perspective on how to live in alignment with our feelings and truth and what happens when we fall in love with another. Historically, our whole culture of love and relationship is new. Tune in to listen to Araminta talk about why it's powerful to give up the idea of finding the "one" and how romantic love/eros is a way to help one come into sacred union with oneself, rather than with another. "You are your own princess/prince." We also talk about: -Importance of being curious about the sacred messages behind our emotions. -How to work through codependency and caretaking in relationship. -Reframing the relationship with rage. -Feeling what is right and wrong in every moment within us and standing up for that. -What does it mean to listen to your body vs your head? -How sexual desire/erotic energy is a way our body gets our attention to lead us towards a certain direction. -How pleasure can heal us. -The roles that projection and mirroring have when we fall in love.   My guest Araminta Barbour is a Lead Faculty with ISTA (the International School of Temple Arts) with whom she has collaborated since 2011, Araminta is the founder of The Sanctuary Guatemala, creator of The Resilience Journey, and co-creator of the Women Who See In The Dark project.

Challenger Banks and Fintechs for Small Businesses | 28 July

Small is Beautiful: Where Challenger Banks and Fintechs Really ScoreI was in a philosophical mood when I checked in to a Fintechtalk session on Clubhouse on July 28. Why, I asked no one in particular, did the word “success” seem to invariably suggest terms like “large deal”, “double digit growth”, “enterprise solutions” and so on. “Does that imply that to be small is somehow not as cool?” I wondered, as I sat in the digital shadows and looked on silently, and a bit crabby, sipping on a below-average Pina Colada, waiting for the session to begin.As I learned quickly during the session, that's not true at all. There is something very beautiful and inspiring about being small and successful. And you can make a huge difference in your Fintech efforts if you focus on small enterprises.These FINTECHTALK sessions are so addictive. Paddy Ramanathan, the CEO of iValley, a Fintech incubator, conducts a couple of arresting sessions every month and attracts a lot of movers and shakers to his speaker's panel. Thereafter he engages them in very interesting ways. You owe it to yourself to attend.But I digress. Back to the session.The panellists were an impressive and erudite bunch. Take a look:Paul Loberman, Chief Product Officer at untiedAdi Engel, CMO at vcitaNir Netzer, FinTech Innovation Strategist and Founding Partner of Equitech GroupAraminta Robertson, Marketing Consultant at MintcstudiosNathan Baumeister, CEO at ZSuite TechnologiesDerik Sutton, Marketing at AutobooksThey first spent a little time talking about what they do.Adi spoke about their focus on digitizing business operations. Simplifying and automating the day-to-day activities is a huge relief for SMBs for whom time is the most precious commodity.Paul, with an impressive background in banking, focuses on personal tax at untied.  “No one likes to pay tax,” he remarked. He helps SMBs by collecting tax data automatically and submitting forms to the authorities. Again, saving SMB owners lots of time and aggravation.Nathan works with Banks to get them more small business clients. ZSuite deploys niche technologies to help with different kinds of deposits that have different rules that apply to them, for which compliance can be vexing. Time is saved.Are you seeing a repeated theme?At Autobooks, Derek offers reporting tools in digital environments. He helps financial institutions recapture their relationships with clients. Araminta too assists fintech companies acquire and retain clients and develops case studies. And Nir helps create strategies for Fintech, who, he said, are trying to solve unprecedented problems. These are motivated individuals!Paddy asked the panel for their view on the current challenges that small businesses face. Was there really a case for digital transformation and innovation for SMBs, he inquired.The collective opinion of the group was that the technologies and digital initiatives do exist but the really crushing problem is that SMB owners have no time and resources and often no capital to leverage these initiatives! Lack of good valuable advice on appropriate systems is something SMBs face.  In fact, most cannot even articulate what they need. Thus, Fintechs need to find these SMBs and clear the fog, instead of expecting them to ask for help.When 81% of SMBs have no employees, they are consumed by basic challenges such as how to accept payments through various vehicles. These owners want to spend time in their businesses, but they end up being forced to address non-core activities, getting paid, controlling costs, and staying compliant – all of which eat into their time and make them sub-optimal. Almost all face cash flow problems. Putting companies back in control may be a fundamental solution they need!Nir highlighted a unique issue: many young companies are trying to solve problems that did not exist before. Even helping them articulate the problem helps in a big way. Sales and Marketing challenges are also significant.What a thought! And so, if Fintechs can do a deep dive into these new challenges, they can be successful.For instance, SMBs are being forced to deal with bewildering new regulations.  Araminta spoke about how SMBs in Europe are having to learn about PSD2 (customer authentication), SCA, and 3DS2 and ensure they are compliant. Do SMBs have the bandwidth for all this? Well, they don't have much of a choice, because studies show a possible authentication loss of 21%.  In essence this is a new hurdle and requires education. This problem presents a great opportunity for a Fintech.Further, 90% of SMBs are service providers who work with excel, WhatsApp, pen and paper. Digitizing their operations is a huge and rewarding proposition. The complexities of an SMB's business can be intense. As Adi observed, even a Yoga studio has a staggeringly large set of possibilities in terms of processes and payment options. Ultimately it is the triangle of Time, Money and Clients is what needs to be addressed by Fintechs that want to be make an impact in the SMB segment.A lot of interesting points came up:From a Sales and Marketing perspective, new approaches will need to be considered by CBs and Fintechs. The customer must be caught in the right channel.Fintechs who serve SMBs have the challenge of raising enough capital to compete with Square or PayPal, to then reach out to massively underserved markets.Paul hypothesized that we will soon witness the next level of “downtech”, such as Square extending into Shopify. There is a growing market for tech giants, and they can find opportunities to partner with SMB oriented Fintechs. The new wave of Challenger Banks is attractive because of significantly lower fees, an easier onboarding process and so on. And many Fintechs that have no banking license can do payment facilitation. That's actually pretty smart!But something to keep in mind: there is only so much profitability for Fintechs while dealing with SMBs, even though there are plenty to go around.  Partnering with banks has obvious advantages for Fintechs including interchange fees, deposits, and such. At the end, SMB merchants will use Fintechs for better customer experience, with the easiest on-ramps being more successful. SuperApps (which combine multiple services within an app) and the thirst for simplicity will prevail.It all just goes to show that in the banking world, small can be beautiful in stimulating innovation. Fintechs can become unbeatable if they make efforts to solve the issues that resource starved SMBs face in terms of time and capital. Will banks, big tech, super fintechs (Square, Stripe etc), and these other fintechs all converge into an SMB SuperApp, which does Operational, Financial, Sales/Marketing and Regulations stuff?
