It's the portrait of Gina Rinehart that launched 1,000 memes, went viral globally and became Australia's Mona Lisa. But it's also a symbol of how wealth intersects with other areas of life, including art and sport. How does Rinehart use her money to control her image – and what would she rather you don't see? This episode of Gina is about power and control, and the colonial history of Australia. It contains references to outdated offensive language and events that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people may find distressing. It also contains the names of Indigenous Australians who have died. Listen with care

Nour Haydar tells Reged Ahmad how it all unfolded and why the move has left many outraged about the precedent it sets

Western Sydney artist Khaled Sabsabi's work spans more than 30 years, exploring themes of multiculturalism, racism, Arab identity and spirituality. After applying four times to the world's most prestigious contemporary art exhibition, he thought he had missed his chance.

Sabsabi tells Nour Haydar about his journey to becoming an artist, where he finds his inspiration, and navigating the current political climate You can support the Guardian at theguardian.com/fullstorysupport

It's a challenge and I'm not going to pretend that it isn't. Often times, I will be producing an episode of the show as there are unspeakable tragedies happening around the world and in my own backyard. As I produce this episode of the show, I am still in contact with many of my industry friends as well as family who have been directly impacted by the wildfires in and around the Los Angeles area. Thoughts and prayers just are not an acceptable response any more. And let's be honest, that hasn't been a suitable response for a very long time. As we get into our episode today with Erika Cross, I would love for a few things to happen. First, if this podcast can serve as a respite for those who are suffering, even if it's only for a few minutes to think about something else and second, to provide an opportunity to think differently about what we know and what is possible. What do I mean by that? Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Monogram - It's the details that define Monogram ThermaSol - Redefining the modern shower experience. Without steam, it's just a bathroom. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home!  - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep I believe that we need to reimagine what we know if we want to change things for the better. I also believe that creatives are the ones who manifest it, create it and make those changes real for the rest of us. A while back, you heard an episode of the show discussing Venetian chimneys. These were crafted centuries ago by creative types who suffered the types of fires that demolished entire communities. Beautifully crafted chimneys that also served as spark arresters in the highly dense communities of Venice, Italy. Is art going to keep California from wildfires or floods, or landslides that follow fires and floods? No. But looking to creative types allows us to think differently about things which often puts us in the right mental space to address new ways to approach these challenges. It's certainly not going to be the politicians. SO, for a few minutes, sit back, drive carefully, enjoy your workout or whatever you're doing while you listen, do it safely and we'll be right back with artist, Erika Cross. Thank you, Erika. Loved our chat, love your work. Thank you to my incredible partner/ sponsors; ThermaSol, Design Hardware, pacific Sales, Monogram and TimberTech for your support for the show and the industry as a whole. We are a stronger because of industry partners like you. And of course, thank you for listening to the podcast, subscribing to the show and sharing it with friends and colleagues. Please keep the show and guest suggestions coming, I do appreciate them and do my best to respond to every one.  Convo By Design @ Outlook dot com and on Instagram, convoXDesign, with an “X”.  Thanks again for listening. Happy New Year, make this the year you've been hoping it would be. Until the next episode, Stay focused and rise above the chaos.

When Aarron was in college studying painting and drawing, he had an absolute certainty about the path my career would take. He was going to move to New York, make it big as an artist, and never look back. And Eli, as an undergrad in product design, wasn't sure what a career in his field even looked like. The skillset wasn't clearly defined yet. The outdoor product companies he was eyeing wanted me to conform to a neat little box: “Are you an industrial designer, or a mechanical engineer?” He wasn't sure how he fit in. Did our careers unfold as we expected? Absolutely not. Life and careers rarely go according to plan. There's so much beyond our control. But, despite the unexpected twists, there are lessons that can guide us in the right direction. And that's what we're here to explore today in this special live episode of Design Better, recorded right here at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Today, we'll be speaking with four design leaders who took a winding path but all found their way to significant work.

She joined the first user experience team at eBay before taking her experience to LinkedIn, where she started the user research team. As Facebook's first design executive, Kate grew the organization from 20 to 200, establishing multidisciplinary design teams in front-end engineering, user research, content strategy, and communication design. Steve Johnson, VP of Design at Netflix, leads a diverse, multidisciplinary, Emmy-award-winning Experience Design organization. His team's commitment to discovery, product innovation, brand development, and personalization has set the standard for streaming media platforms across the world. Prior to Netflix, Steve also led design teams at LinkedIn and Adobe. Jaime Lopez, Chief Design and Marketing Officer at Flatiron Health, Jaime Lopez is the Chief Design & Marketing Officer at Flatiron Health.

Joe Gebbia's journey began in Georgia, where his early interest in sports led him to work as a ball boy for the Atlanta Hawks. However, his true passion lay in art, earning him the nickname "art guy" in school as he spent countless hours drawing from comic books. This passion led him to the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he discovered industrial design and the work of Charles and Ray Eames. A pivotal moment came when a professor doubted his art project, but Joe secured school funding and proved the professor wrong, showcasing his early entrepreneurial spirit.At RISD, Joe met Brian Chesky, and he felt an instant connection, believing they would create something significant together. After graduation, Joe moved to San Francisco and convinced Brian to join him, leading to the creation of Airbnb. Faced with skepticism and rejection from investors and law firms, Joe drew on his art background to reframe challenges as opportunities. This resilience paid off as Airbnb became a global phenomenon, changing how people travel and connect.Joe's journey at Airbnb taught him invaluable leadership lessons and underscored the importance of creativity and innovation. His artistic sensibility helped him approach problems with a fresh perspective, leading to the creation of Samara, a venture focused on reimagining home design. After Airbnb went public, Joe branched Samara out as a separate company, recognizing the potential in the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) space.Beyond Airbnb, Joe relocated to Austin, Texas, becoming a minority owner of the San Antonio Spurs and aligning his entrepreneurial pursuits with his passion for sports. Committed to making a positive impact, Joe is passionate about causes such as homelessness and environmental sustainability. He also helped establish the Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity, reflecting his commitment to fostering creativity and innovation.

Use code "SHELEFT20" for 20% off an order**Kaylin Marcotte's early career wasn't particularly fun.But when she was training as a management consultant at IBM in 2013, she met two promising, young female founders who wanted to start a media company...called theSkimm. So, she left to become their first employee.Kaylin's days were pretty demanding, and she often played with jigsaw puzzles at home to unwind. But she didn't always love the stock imagery she was putting together. So, in 2019, she founded JIGGY. It's a direct-to-consumer company creating jigsaw puzzles that…actually look pretty cool. And its very existence is a reminder of how important it is to have fun throughout the entrepreneurial journey.Kaylin talks about how she went from getting hired as theSkimm's first employee to becoming the Founder & CEO of JIGGY.

When it comes to development, creative and cultural practitioners are too often overlooked and underestimated as agents of change.  According to UNESCO, the creative and cultural sector is one of the most powerful engines of global development. It accounts for nearly 50 million jobs worldwide, representing 6.2% of all existing employment and 3.1% of global GDP.  On this episode, our guests discuss the immense potential of art, design and creativity to inspire social development and tackle global injustices. They unveil the ways in which creative projects are more than aesthetic pursuits – they are at the heart of change and testament to our shared humanity, fostering human connections and challenging the status quo. Join us as we explore the intersection of creativity and development, and ask why – and how – creative and policy communities must work more closely together to change the world.

Artículo y más fotos aquí: https://holyokemedia.org/between-worlds-the-art-and-design-of-leo-lionni/ Esta exposición esta curada por Stephanie Haboush Plunkett, co-curada por el autor e historiador de libros infantiles Leonard Marcus y el historiador de ilustración y diseño Steven Heller. Es importante mencionar que el museo también colaboró estrechamente con Annie Lionni, la nieta del artista. Es la primera gran retrospectiva estadounidense dedicada al trabajo de arte y diseño del innovador diseñador modernista e ilustrador de libros infantiles Leo Lionni (1910-1999). Sus Libros Ilustrados reflejan su filosofía y por otro su arte que nos cuentan una historia visual. El filósofo-artista y narrador refleja el poder especial del arte. Podemos ver que sus libros involucran a los niñ(o/a)s en múltiples niveles, por ejemplo, en el libro ilustrado Mathew' Dreams, reflexiona sobre el poder especial del arte para mejorar la vida. En la historia Mathew fue de excursión al museo por primera vez. Esa experiencia le cambió la vida. Se convirtió en un gran pintor. Este libro ilustrado es muy especial para vi porque tiene una resonancia en mi vida. Cuando yo tenía 10 años fui por primera vez al museo con mi padre. Ese día una docente nos dio un recorrido por las obras más importantes del museo. Yo me quedé tan impresionada que hoy día tengo un bachillerato o licenciatura en historia del arte y una maestría en museología. Esta exposición la pueden disfrutar tanto adultos como niñ(o/a)s. La exposición consta con una sección para niñ(o/a)s en las que pueden leer los libros ilustrados de Leo Leonni. También existe un panfleto guía para niñ(o/a)s en la que ellos pueden dibujar y soñar. Algo mas el museo provee descuentos para adultos, estudiantes y lo niñ(o/a)s entran gratis

Paul Stonick is a punk. Like, an “opened for Red Hot Chili Peppers before they were cool” kind of punk. He started in web design in the mid-90s, then pivoted to UX in 2012. With 18 years in e-commerce, fashion, beauty, home improvement, and automotive, as well as 15 years in executive design leadership roles, he has over two decades of “tra-digital” experience in brand creative, visual, and UX design. Now, in the third act of his career as Vice President of SCADpro at Savannah College of Art and Design, Paul tells us it's the opportunity to develop the next generation of design leaders as they work to integrate design innovation and overcome old-school obstructionism that inspires him. Savannah College of Art and Design is not an art school. They are a creative university, preparing students for their creative professions. SCAD was founded in 1978, and today they have over 17,500 students, over 100 different majors and minors, and a 99% rate of employment after graduation. SCADpro, Paul's department, is the university's collaborative innovation studio. He tells us they sit at the intersection of art design and business by generating business solutions for the world's most influential brands, like Google, Amazon, Apple, NASA, Delta, BMW, Volvo, Uber, Mayo Clinic, The Home Depot, P&G, and Chick-fil-A.In this episode, Alan and Paul discuss the new book he contributed to, his early brushes with punk royalty, and what makes Savannah College of Art and Design more than just an “art school."

A new year means a new theme for Make Mine Paperback! To start off January, the podcast is switching up the format by focusing on only one graphic novel for the month. It's Lonely At The Centre Of The Earth, written and drawn by Zoe Thorogood, is a masterpiece that needs more time than just one discussion to cover. Zoe Thorogood details six weeks of her life and the struggles she experiences while trying to make it as a comic book artist and author. The novel covers difficult, yet important, topics such as mental health issues. Some readers may have trouble with the content. The first week will be dedicated to discussing the art and design of the novel. Zoe breaks the mold of traditional comic book art by creating an experience that breaks all the standard practices of the industry. Incorporating real-life pictures with inconsistent panel use creates a graphic novel where the art is more important and thought-provoking than the words. Zoe Thorogood expertly uses art to tell a story that many readers may find disturbing, yet relatable. Listen in as MMP takes time to analyze a truly great novel of the last year!
