This episode was recorded on 22 May, during the installation of Francis Offman's solo exhibition at the Secession. Kamogelo Walaza, a curatorial fellow from South Africa, spoke with the artist about his work and the exhibition: Francis Offman Weaving Stories 29.5. – 31.8.2025 The walls of the stairwell that leads to Francis Offman's exhibition Weaving Stories are covered in dried coffee grounds. The dark tactile material transforms the narrow entrance to the exhibition space on the first floor into an immersive olfactory experience. More The works of Francis Offman consist of canvases (not mounted on stretchers) with irregular contours, featuring paintings that emerge from the associations of sections of vivid, flat, uniform colors, and collage zones made with the insertion of scraps of paper – thin or thicker sheets, salvaged from bread wrappers or shoeboxes – which enter the composition like rips or wounds. An encounter that only on occasion makes elements emerge that can be traced back to the real: a dry tree, a mountain, a portion of water, earth or sky … Offman's pieces are free compositions that imply fragile references, minimal and understated, to a faraway world (Africa and Rwanda, where the artist spent some of his childhood) and its customs, a traumatic memory and an uncertain identity; jagged, dynamic spaces that cannot give rise to an integral landscape. (Davide Ferri) Francis Offman was born in Butare, Rwanda, in 1987 and now lives in Bologna, Italy. Kamogelo Walaza is a curatorial fellow at the Secession from May to June 2025 as part of the FOCUS INTERNATIONAL programme of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sport. She is a curator, writer, arts and cultural educator and ethnographer, born in Bloemfontein and based in Johannesburg. She holds a Postgraduate degree in Applied Drama and Theatre and a BA Honours in Drama Therapy from the University of the Witwatersrand, as well as a BA in Corporate Communication, an Honours in Communication Studies, and an Honours in Public Management and Governance from the University of Johannesburg. Walaza received the Marshall Kander Drama for Life Award for her research on HIV/AIDS awareness through applied drama. She recently completed a distinction-awarded autoethnographic paper titled Memories in Her Blood. Secession Podcast: Artists features artists exhibiting at the Secession.

I'm delighted to speak with Ben Ashdown this week. Ben is joined by return guest, Dr Mustafa Sarkar. Ben is a senior lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Nottingham Trent University. He is part of the Sport Performance Research Group in the Sport, Health and Performance Enhancement (SHAPE) Research Centre and is a PhD researcher focusing on resilience in youth football. Ben's research interests are observational methods and assessment in sport psychology, resilience behaviours in youth football and resilience development practices. Before moving into lecturing, Ben was a research associate at The University of Nottingham on the Steps to Active Kids (STAK) project that sought to evaluate the impact of a school-based physical activity programme on outcomes including self-efficacy and obesity risk factors. Ben is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and has a Postgraduate diploma in teaching in the lifelong learning sector. After graduating from York St John University on a BA (Honours) degree in Sport Studies and Psychology, Ben completed an MSc in Sport Psychology at the same institution. Mustafa is Associate Professor of Sport and Performance Psychology at Nottingham Trent University. His main area of research is on individual, team and organisational resilience in elite sport. Mustafa has a background in teaching and research with most of his research focusing on the psychology of sporting and performance excellence, specifically looking at resilience in high achievers in sport and business. Mustafa also works with coaches and organisations helping them to develop resilience in athletes and teams. We talk about a brilliant paper led by Ben and co-authored by Mustafa and Dr Chris Saward and Dr Julie Johnston entitled “Exploring the behavioral indicators of resilience in professional academy youth soccer”. The study offers insight into the observable behaviours characterising resilience in youth soccer. Participants identified 36 resilience behaviours, highlighting the multifaceted nature of the concept in this specific context. The results provide a platform to support practitioners in observing resilience behaviours and structuring practices for resilience assessment and development. The findings of this study can support youth soccer players in reflecting on their behavioural responses to in-game stressors, and thus better understand how and when they demonstrate resilience.

In episode 98, Berit Lewis shares her personal story of how she arrived at her area of interest in helping people over 50 in their later years of life. Berit talks about how she found a passion for psychology, mindfulness and learning to regulate her physical sensations as a way to manage her thoughts and emotions. This theme of primary and secondary suffering is also brought up, with Berit suggesting that our caveman brains naturally try to keep us safe but not thrive.Berit Lewis is the owner of Thriving Life, offering workshops, courses and retreats in mental well-being. As well as being an experienced and accredited Mindfulness Teacher, she holds a BA (Honours) in Psychology, a MSc in Vitality and Ageing and a MA in Communication and has carried out Mindfulness Based Vitality & Ageing research in cooperation with Leiden University Medical Centre (LUMC) and Leyden Academy of Vitality and Ageing in the Netherlands. Berit is Danish and lives in the Netherlands with her Welsh husband and two teenagers.Connect with Berit Lewis on LinkedIn : Facebook :Blog and Newsletter on Substack: Ageing UpwardsBook: Ageing Upwards – a mindfulness-based Framework for the Longevity Revolution Key QuotesI would describe mindfulness in one word - awareness.Research shows that we do tend to become much more mindful when we get older. I see it as a physical sensation that is feeding into a thought that is feeding into emotions.It's that awareness about how we are controlled by our innate genetic wiring in order to keep us safe, and that's not always good for our wellbeing.I've always had a passion for learning.Instead of being the emotion, or the thought, it's about stepping back and saying, I'm having the thought - that it's a passing thing that comes and goes and not get caught up in it.We are so much in our heads.

Have you ever worked on being more mindful? It takes practice and patience. But mindfulness may help you age wisely. Berit Lewis, author of Ageing Upwards: A Mindfulness-based Framework for the Longevity Revolution, believes so. In her view, "Ageing isn't about decline. It's about transition."

So, it's success criteria for, for what? To avoid ageing? To stay young.? And it also really feeds into this whole story we have in our culture about aging being bad and it's something we should avoid. Ageing is not about decline. It's about transition. And so if we want to really use the term Successful Aging, I think the success criteria should be more how to embrace these transitions - according to what each one of us and as individual thinks is important to us. And the four skills that I mentioned in my book, Ageing Upwards, is to be aware of this ability to change our mindset, to see things in a different perspective and, and to be able to broaden out our awareness so that we can meet all the challenges we see with affection and self-compassion." On Mindfulness "That whole idea about being in the present moment and relaxing is a part of mindfulness. It helps us to practice our ability to pay attention to the present moment, and for some people it also helps them calm down their nervous system. But I think there's so much more to mindfulness than just being present. The true benefit from mindfulness really lies when we start to see, to gain this awareness as I explained before, so we are not just in the present moment, but we are aware of being in the present moment. It's like this extra layer of it." On Learning to Practice Mindfulness "Unfortunately, mindfulness is not a quick fix. I wish it was. It takes a lot of time and effort and it can also be unpleasant because we are seeing things that we might not want to see. And instead of running away from discomfort and pain, we're turning towards it and meeting it with curiosity. So that's what you have to be prepared for. And what's funny is a lot of people, whenever I teach mindfulness, they come back to me after maybe three weeks and say,

Sculpture, and especially willow sculpture, has always fascinated me, so when I came across Emma Stothard's website, I knew I had to get in touch. Emma is a Yorkshire-based willow and wire sculptor. Inspired by the creatures of the North York Moors, where she lives, she creates sculptures of wild/domestic animals and birds. After receiving a BA Honours in Fine Art from Southampton Solent University, she briefly moved to the Somerset Levels to learn the process of growing, coppicing, bundling, and weaving willow. In 2001, thanks to a loan from The Prince's Trust, Emma started her sculpting business. Her sculptures are exhibited nationally and internationally, with some gracing the gardens of stately homes, galleries, and private homes around the country, including a large-scale portrait of King Charles III's beloved Jack Russell dog ‘Tigga', made from willow grown on the Highgrove Estate and sited there. Emma shares her take on creativity as a continual flow of movement of the materials and of ideas, the relationship between her work and the outdoor space, from which she draws her inspiration, and how she's always pushing herself to explore her own creativity and learn something new, using different scales (from mice to dragons, elephants, and small castles), different mediums (willow, silver, bronze and copper wire, clay, ceramics), and exploring new fields (such as, jewellery, homeware, and garden furniture), with the view to creating functional pieces with a sculptural aspect. She describes the process of going from a 2-D drawing to a 3-D sculpture and of welding a metal armature as a basis to weave the willow around, giving her the freedom to create the shapes she wants. She also explains why she chose willow primarily and what makes it such an evocative and enjoyable medium. From celebrating Whitby's fishing heritage to sculpting hares and six-foot tall scarecrows, there's a palpable sense of excitement in every project Emma takes on, sometimes even adding personal touches to her sculptures and, in the process, attaching a story to them. I had a wonderful time talking to Emma and learning about her creative process, so I hope you enjoy our conversation. Emma's website On Instagram: @emmastothard On FB: Emma Stothard Sculpture On Twitter: @emmastothardart ABOUT THE CREATIVITY FOR ALL PODCAST A maths teacher can be creative. So can a financial adviser, a community builder, and a yoga teacher. Not to mention a speed painter, a potter, or an actor! Creativity is everywhere and I love nothing more than to explore it in The Creativity for All Podcast, either by focusing on a theme – such as perfectionism, feeding your creative brain, or the pressure to be creative – in my solo episodes, or through my conversations with all manner of creative people. I want to challenge the perception of creativity and, in the process, debunk many myths attached to it: it's painful, for artists and the chosen few, etc. My guests and I are keen to zoom in and dissect the origin of an idea, the impulse that makes us engage with our own creativity, with the hope that it will inspire listeners to get creative too. My podcast is designed for anyone who's already being creative, or is tempted to use their creativity, in particular those of you who think they are not creative or can never be. I would love to change your mind!

Rebel-Actor, are you ready to dive into the sexy dirt of Shakespeare, soccer and life !?! Join me and today's very special guest, Rodrigo Beilfuss! Grab a pen + paper and get ready to jot down an abundance of aha's! Rodrigo Beilfuss spent four years in Ontario with the Stratford Festival, and then relocated back to Winnipeg to be the new Artistic Director of Shakespeare in the Ruins (SIR) in the Fall of 2019. Born and raised in Brazil, Rodrigo moved to Winnipeg in 2001 as an exchange student, discovering Hamlet in high-school. Mr Gord McLeod is to be blamed for everything, for Rodrigo hasn't stopped pursuing Shakespeare since. In Winnipeg, Rod was a founding member of Theatre by the River, and he has directed and acted in several productions at various local theatres. Rod also has a passion for teaching, and he is a theatre instructor at various organizations and universities. He holds a BA (Honours) from the University of Winnipeg, an MA in Classical Acting from England's LAMDA, and he's a graduate of Stratford's two flagship programs: the Birmingham Conservatory for Classical Theatre and the Michael Langham Workshop for Classical Direction. More info at rodrigobeilfuss.com In theatre, we always talk about being in the moment. But do we really know what that means? Today, you'll discover: How Rodrigo transitioned to AD of SIR after four years in Stratford in 2019 SIR's dedication to performing Shakespeare in nontraditional spaces, particularly in the ruins of an old monastery with promenade staging, expanding the sense of the classical canon The outreach work SIR does with youth, emerging artists and inmates at Stony Mountain Penitentiary How inmates get Shakespeare in a way trained actor's do not The outreach work at Stony Mountain is an exercise in empathy, exchange of experiences and a search to find a path forward, together SIR is performing The Winter's Tale in French and English this summer What you can do that is inspired by the moment as opposed to in spite of the moment How Shakespeare was a passport for Rodrigo from Brazil to Canada Why it's a fallacy for us to go around thinking Shakepearan actors know what they're talking about The danger of fatal fluency (when an actor pretends that Shakespeare's language is normal) How Shakespeare and soccer are cultural unifiers How futebol (soccer) is considered an art in Brazil Why Rodrigo loves the chaos, imperfections and improvisations of soccer Why you don't have to follow the narrative of what you think your life as a theatre artist should be all the time What Rodrigo is excited about giving to actors right now And SO much more!!

Iraj Abedian argues that there is a mismatch between humanity's secular evolutionary progress and the spiritual nature of mankind. This mismatch leads to a growing dysfunctionality of the global socio-economic and political order. The systemic fault lines compound over time, generating successive crises and ultimately disorder. To restore order there is need for a revolutionary impulse as proclaimed by Baha'u'llah. Humanity's current experience is testimony to this titanic clash of the secular evolutionary dynamics and Baha'u'llah's revolutionary agency. Iraj Abedian is the founder and Executive Chairman of Pan-African Capital Holdings (Pty) Ltd. He was professor of economics at the University of Cape Town, before entering the business sector in 2000 as the chief economist of Standard Bank Group of SA. He obtained his BA (Honours) and MA in Economics from University of Cape Town (UCT), before earning a PhD in Economics from Simon Fraser University in Canada in 1993. Iraj has been a member of the Baha'i' Faith since 1971, pioneered to South Africa in 1980, and has been involved in Baha'i' community activities at local, national and international levels. Currently, apart from the companies in the Pan-African Capital's portfolio, he serves the following organizations and companies: - Chairman of Board of Fortress REIT Ltd (December 2015 to date) - Member of the Advisory Board of the Auditor General of the SA Government (2006 to date).

One of the greatest joys I get from hosting this podcast is meeting some incredibly inspiring people, with the goals and ambitions that can reshape our industry. Today's guest is one of those people. A North London native, his first break in fashion occurred in Australia where was an accessories designer for Crumpler. Upon graduating with a BA Honours in furniture and product design, he relocated to Vancouver, Canada where he spent eight years as a technical bag developer for Mountain Equipment Co-op, and most recently as the accessories lead for one of Canada's most accelerated start up fashion brands TenTree. During his time at TenTree, his role gave him the opportunity to visit factories overseas. On his travels to Vietnam and China, he had a meeting that would change the course of his career. And more importantly, change the way in which Chinese factories will operate in the future. What was supposed to be a routine factory audit, became an opportunity to take over a factory to implement a new manufacturing model that builds on sustainability, transparency, and raising consciousness. My guest today is Joey Pringle, the founder of Veshin Factory. He joined me all the way from the UK to talk about how he's transitioning with his new life changing decision, his plans to help rebuild a sustainable manufacturing culture, and uncovering the misconceptions of Chinese manufacturing. Sponsor Before I jump into this episode, I wanted to take a second to thank my sponsors at Bean Bundle, Canada's newest coffee subscription.
