In a culture that inhibits adult creative integration, how can grounding community development work in play, creativity, vulnerability and inner child healing help materialise knowledges into transformative development practice? This month, we invite to the space Maanarak of Grey, the artistic alias of Radinka Ustasia, a multidisciplinary artist from the Caribbean island of Bonaire. From 2010-2023 Maanarak has lived, studied, and worked in the Netherlands, with the highest qualification she obtained there being a Bachelors of Science in International Development Management, majoring in Rural Development and Innovation, at Van Hall Larenstein in Velp. During her study program, she minored in Art and Creativity at work and this is where she started an exploration of combining her competing passions. In this episode, we discuss the place that artivism holds in sustainable development and the ways in which art and science can be interwoven to make the development sector more accessible, fluid and equitable through the powerful tool of play. By getting in touch with our inner child and the playful modes of creation we once had access to as children, Maanarak guides us in exploring the deeply healing forces of art that invite opportunities to be vulnerable and in touch with ourselves, our communities and our ecosystems to bring about long-lasting systemic change. Visit mindfullofeverything.com to access full episode resources and archives. Connect with Maanarak on Instagram (@maanarak.art).

Activism is defined as the policy or action of using vigorous campaigning to bring about political or social change. No method of activism is more powerful than art. In honor of Immigrant Heritage Month, the brilliant DACAmented art-ivist, Yehimi Cambrón, joins Fritanga to share her story of resilience, hope, and creativity. Originally from San Antonio Villalongín, Michoacán, Mexico - Yehimi grew up in Atlanta, Georgia.

Multi-disciplined artist and advocate Sydney Rogers has been performing as Miss Barbie Q for over three decades. From drag queen story to social justice drag, Sydney has coined their work “artivism.” They share with Robin and Sarah how their daily work as a clinical social worker in training and advocate for trans employment rights and leadership development intersects with their stage persona and how they weave the two worlds together. Sydney speaks to carrying the responsibility of being the first Black trans person to break into many spaces and the self care practices that sustain them. Our expansive conversation touches on fashion, the power of performance, book bans, navigating fear, how to be an trans ally in this moment and so much more.You can support MissBarbieQ directly thru venmo: MissBarbieQLA.

After a deserved winter break We Walk The Earth is back with a brand new season and an enhanced team. We are very excited to keep on evolving, creating and sharing our curiosity. In this episode, Maxima Simons, founder of women's network Wumanas, aviation pioneer, mother and good friend of the show, joins Sergio Isauro to share her experience of living in a world where archaic attitudes and behaviours towards gender and sexuality continue to dictate many areas — from politics to education to the day-to-day workplace.  What does it mean to live as a woman in 21st century society? Does discrimination and bias continue to plague our world? Is genuine change happening to redistribute power and create greater equality for minority groups? Opening up about her life experiences and the discrimination she has faced throughout her career, Maxima has made it her life ambition to shape change across society and empower women to find their voice. Through her mentorship programme, Young Wumanas, Maxima provides a safe space for young women to ask questions and explore their sexuality and rights; giving them the opportunity to re-discover who they are and encouraging them to express themselves through creative thinking.  The music for this podcast is produced by Tejedor.

Vidushi's work revolves around gender justice, South Asian identity, access & right-based content. She is a communication & design consultant for multiple women rights, humanitarian & development organizations world-wide. Through her work she attempts to investigate gaze, representation, able-ism, gender binary, privilege & colonialism via image making. Listen to hear critical lessons & perspectives from Vidushi Yadav.Visit The Heart Gallery's visual accompaniment for this podcast episode here (podcast transcript also available here).HW from Vidushi: "Ask questions. And do not accept what is given to you, or what is considered the default of life. Ask, “why do I have to be like this” if something doesn't feel right. Examine where answers are coming from & look beyond the answers which are readily available. For example, there are so many things that we are told as women, like, “this is how you should be, this is how you should behave, this is what you shouldn't do, that's what you should do”. If you start asking questions, like, “why is it important for me to do this", or "what is stopping me to do that”… you can get closer & closer to what feels authentic to you."Mentioned:- Frida Kahlo- Marina Abramović- How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell.- Seeing Like A Feminist by Nivedita MenonConnect: - Vidushi IG- The Heart Gallery Instagram- The Heart Gallery website- Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer InstagramCredits:Samuel Cunningham for podcast editing, Cosmo Sheldrake for use of his song Pelicans We, podcast art by me, Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer.

Bill Stearman and I are friends and colleagues. We both quilt, we both teach, we are both passionate about our journey and feel strongly about telling our stories. I met Bill at a quilt conference 4 years ago, where I was speaking about sustainability and he was speaking about his journey as a gay man, expressing his stories through his modern quilts. That pivotal meeting is where Bill decided he wanted to do more than just tell the amazing stories he does. He also wanted to bring sustainability into the narrative. He's been working towards that ever since. We talk about all kinds of connections, concerns and solutions that he has come across as he has journeyed. We also talk about some of our personal stories that we feel very strongly about sharing with openness and kindness. Bill struggled with storytelling as a way to make sense of his life for many years. And then discovered his voice in quilt making. Fabrics and carefully placed stitches express joy, anguish, hope, gratitude, and love, providing glimpses into deep and important stories; stories that matter on personal and social levels. His quilts make bold statements and provoke thoughtful consideration of a variety of issues. You can find Bill here: Facebook: Bill StearmanInstagram: @bill_stearmanWebsite: http://billstearmanquilts.blogspot.com/You can get tickets on Eventbrite for Bill's talk  on February 27th, 2023Toward Sustainability as a Quilt Makertoward-sustainability-as-a-quilt-maker-bill-stearman-tickets-Support the showJoin The Green Stitcher's Hive at https://thegreenstitchershive.mn.co/ Follow Bridget O'Flaherty @thesustainablequilter on Instagram and @TheSustainableQuilter on Facebook.

En este episodio hablamos con Aline Shkurovich sobre el rol del arte para imaginar mundos posibles así como posibilitar experiencias de conexión y transformación. Los retos sociales y ambientales nos confrontan, nos agobian, nos hastían y nos confunden. El arte nos invita a relacionarnos con los problemas complejos desde renovadas sensibilidades y frescos imaginarios. Hablamos del “Critical Acting”, la “Esperanza Radical”, el “eco-centrismo”, el “Artivism” y la “pedagogía lúdica”, así como sobre la maternidad desde la conexión con el niño que todos somos. Para Aline es claro que así como está siendo acelerado el deterioro y el riesgo inminente de la vida, también se está acelerando la toma de conciencia, la humildad y la responsabilidad colectiva. Aline Shkurovich estudió Artes Visuales en Corcoran College of Art and Design, Diseño y Comunicación Visual en la UNAM y recibió su Maestría en Estudios Avanzados de la Imagen por el ICP-Bard en Nueva York. Su práctica artística incluye fotografía, video, escultura y curaduría en varias ciudades del mundo. Esta conversación resuena porque nos recuerda que no podemos concebir un nuevo mundo o paradigma si no exploramos, profundizamos y actuamos desde nuestra sensibilidad artística, transdisciplinaria y comunitaria.

Marina is an Artivist, who began picking up trash on local beaches, creeks & streets over 20 years ago. In 2009, she began to create pieces of art that questioned the use of single use items and the amount of waste we create - and her work is exhibited regularly at galleries, 'trashion' exhibitions, 'inconvenience stores' and the current 'Sculptures by the Sea'. We chat about Marina's story, her perspectives from 20 years of picking up trash, artivism and animal welfare.Useful links:Marina Debris on LinkeIn (here)http://washedup.us/Reuters Article 'Trashion' designer displays latest art at Sydney beach exhibition (here)Conversation article 'Trashion' designer Marina DeBris turns ocean rubbish into high-end outfits – in pictures (here).For further information about Ocean Protect, check us out at www.oceanprotect.com.au Hosted on Acast.

PAU Quintanajornet doesn‘t paint pictures. Pau creates worlds – open invitations to a journey into the beauty of Latin American influences and into the spheres of an artist, who with brushes, paint, ink, paper and wood, playfully turns her world inside out. The cleavage between cultures loosens up. From the friction between her Chilean roots and her German home she draws her own symbolism in bright colors and shapes which grows out of the ground like plants rising to the sky. Birds also occupy a large space in Pau‘s World: in her „cosmovision“ they symbolize free spirits of wisdom and peace, spreading their wings and coping with highs and lows of life.Born in Chile and raised in the former DDR, Pau moved to Berlin at the age of 15 to broaden her horizons and find a creative outlet. She studied communication-design and illustration at the FHTW before taking off to South America. In Valparaiso, Chile, she recharged her batteries and set the course for her future. Falling in love with the Urban Art Movement and Artivism, Pau started to create her first wall pieces down South.  Although she eventually returned to Germany, Pau would frequently revisit Latin America - her Motherland - her emotional home. During these returns, she might discover something new about her self or her art, socialize with other artists or improve her techniques. In the collective of the Artivists, Muralistas and Street Artists, Pau found birds of the same feather.Over the last couple of years Pau has participated in numerous festivals and art projects around the world. These travels and interactions with the people around helped her to find a deeper meaning in her work and get more sensitive for different global realties. Inspired by the words of Pablo Neruda, "The murals are the books of the people “ she started a long term art project called PROJECT WALLFLOWERS in 2013. Her work is found on walls in Egypt, Tunisia, Spain, France, The Netherlands, Germany, United States, China, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Chile … . While Pau‘s walls are on display in public spaces, they are created with the permission of the communities. Her interest lies in sharing her art with people, not creating notoriety for her self.Today Pau shares begins by telling us how art became the tool she was drawn to as a young person to help her emotionally as her family fled Chile as political refugees and the danger they faced prior to relocating to Germany. There's no doubt that while her childhood was traumatic, it set her up for some profound perspective on who she is and how she wants to live her life. We talked about her becoming an Artivista and how it was the first identity that she claimed as her own versus it being imposed on her by others. We talked about the masculine and the feminine and how she connected with her own inner manifestations of those as she navigated heartache and learned to cultivate love in all she does. Inspired by this quote: "You also learn that there are real priorities and imposed priorities. The beauty of this lifelong journey is that you get the tremendous opportunity to get to know the real you with all its flaws and all its magic. I gain stability when I feel centered and reflected in my work and with the people around me." We talk about how she established her own priorities and how she works to live them each day, including how this impacted her "Art World" and how she moves through the "Art Market." She shared about her work Project Wallflowers, the Blooming Seeds, and #staywithhumanity. We end with a quick share on how she takes care of herself with her active life and how sobremesas are a special part of that.Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radio Kingston.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.orgLeave me a voicemail with your thoughts or a few words about who has what you want and why!

We are joined today by an incredibly wise and humble guest who is an artivist (art + activist). He shares with us the stories of his passion for music and his artivist journey. His name is Y?    Y?'s journey was anything but conventional, being born in a family fleeing their home country of Guyana to the US due to unrest, and having humble beginnings, his passion for art and music was always apparent, but could not be nurtured until he was in his 20s.    Although Y? had dreams to go to school for art and music, these dreams never came to fruition, but he still managed to find his way to his passion and is now a successful artist with a wide array of talents. Y?'s natural ability to connect and hold space is a lost art in and of itself, but he carries this deep love for himself and others so gracefully, it can be felt through this episode.    Tune in to hear some of the most inspirational content yet, and a beautiful story of Y?'s last moments with dear friend Robert Enamorado.

As much as we tend to separate ourselves from other species, human beings are animals too. Our natural ecosystems support all of us, not just the whales or the polar bears we want to save, and the only way we can sustain our lives and our health on this planet is if the planet is alive and healthy. Today's episode centers around an incredible organization that is doing important work at the intersection of culture and environmentalism to further the conservation of our oceans. Led by Founder and Executive Director, Tré Packard, The PangeaSeed Foundation is an international nonprofit organization that seeks to raise awareness and create positive change using what they call ‘ARTivism'. Tré is a renowned public art curator and award-winning environmental photographer who marries art and activism to cultivate a new era in marine conservation and, in today's episode, he shares some of the groundbreaking work that PangeaSeed has done with artists like Shepard Fairey and Nychos to raise awareness about the fragility of our oceans. We also gain some insight into what compelled Tré to look at conservation through a different lens and you'll learn about their recently released book, Sea Change: A Decade of ARTivism for Oceans, which features a carefully curated selection of the purpose-driven artworks that PangeaSeed has collaborated on over the past 10 years. To find out how PangeaSeed is giving the oceans a voice through their unique blend of art and activism, make sure not to miss this insightful conversation with Tré Packard!

As an ICU Physician at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Dr. Jeffrey Sippel sees the devastating effects the virus has on the unvaccinated. He wrote an essay on the toll it's taken.

Joe Troop introduced a new form of music called Latingrass, a combination of music from Joe's homeland, in the lower Appalachian mountains, with the tones and tunes of the Andes in South America. He also refers to himself by another new word, artivist, a combination of his musical art and his activist passions. Joe Troop was born with bones that resonated with music, grew into a banjophile, and found delicious riches of culture and humanity while living in Spain, Japan, and most recently, Argentina.
