Podcasts about creative economy

It takes a lot of public/private partnerships to bring economic stability and growth to a community. Arlington strives to share these partnerships with small businesses that may not otherwise get access to big opportunities. For the second year, Arlington's BizLaunch team is working with Hyatt Crystal City on a Minority Vendor Showcase that takes a partnership to a new level. I'm Susan Soroko, Director of Creative Economy at Arlington Economic Development in Arlington, Virginia. The role of Economic Development is to retain and attract businesses where workers can live and thrive in a great community even when the work world is changing. We support (small) business through programs like BizLaunch and value the importance of placemaking and a sector devoted to creative economy and the arts. Today we're going to talk about a special partnership with Hyatt Crystal City and what it's like to bring your A game to an event.   To help me discuss this, I'd like to welcome Tiffany Hamilton, Co- Founder of Victor Wear. Did you know 85% of people with autism are unemployed or underemployed? People like our Co-Founder, Isaiah—a straight-A student, video game developer, swimmer, and competitive bowler—face challenges in the job market, despite their many abilities. That's why we launched Victor Wear, an award-winning activewear brand dedicated to inspiring resilience and empowering and employing the autism community. We aim to have our company primarily run by neurodivergent individuals to create jobs while changing the disability narrative and creating a more inclusive world. At the Hyatt Regency Crystal City, our commitment to the community, connection, and care is at the heart of everything we do. We strive to create meaningful opportunities and foster an environment where all individuals feel valued and supported. Building strong relationships and opening doors for our diverse neighbors is our passion, especially within our National Landing community. That is the spark and core to the Minority Vendor Showcase that we aim to host each year.

In this month's auditorial episode, we dive into some exciting discussions around fiscal sponsorship and how it can really benefit artists. But we don't just stop there; we also explore the deeper connection between NOT REAL ART and its parent nonprofit, Arterial, when it comes to the role of art in our culture. Host and Arterial founder Scott shares some personal anecdotes and reflects on how the podcast and his own artistic journey have evolved over time. He emphasizes how crucial it is for artists to have sustainable ways to thrive, without getting bogged down by commercial pressures. This isn't just about making a living; it's about creating a space where creativity can grow freely. Listeners, we encourage you to see yourselves as more than just consumers of art. You're part of a community that plays a vital role in supporting and promoting artistic expression. Whether through sharing your thoughts, attending events, or even spreading the word about the importance of creativity, everyone can contribute to fostering a richer artistic ecosystem.

Empire of Culture: Neo-Victorian Narratives in the Global Creative Economy (SUNY Press, 2024) by Dr. Waiyee Loh brings together contemporary representations of Victorian Britain to reveal how the nation's imperial past inheres in the ways post-imperial subjects commodify and consume "culture" in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The globalization of English literature, along with British forms of dress, etiquette, and dining, in the nineteenth century presumed and produced the idea that British culture is a universal standard to which everyone should aspire. Examining neo-Victorian texts and practices from Britain, the United States, Japan, and Singapore—from A. S. Byatt's novel Possession and its Hollywood film adaptation to Japanese Lolita fashion and the Lady Victorian manga series—Dr. Loh argues that the British heritage industry thrives on the persistence of this idea. Yet this industry also competes and collaborates with the US and Japanese cultural industries, as they, too, engage with the legacy of British universalism to carve out their own empires in a global creative economy. Unique in its scope, Empire of Culture centers Britain's engagements with the US and East Asia to illuminate fresh axes of influence and appropriation, and further bring Victorian studies into contact with various sites of literary and cultural fandom. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Catherine T. Morris, the founder of BAMS (Boston Arts & Music Soul) Fest, joined us for one of the most thoughtful and insightful conversations we've had yet on the podcast! As advocates for the Boston music and arts scene, it was important for us to recognize and learn more about Catherine's contributions toward the scene. Her mission to build racial equity and economic empowerment to Black creatives and entrepreneurs is evident through her work the growing success of BAMS Fest, and her role as the Director of Arts & Creativity at The Boston Foundation.During our conversation with Catherine, we learned more about her journey, including: her experiences with racism in the METCO program, her early work as an event coordinator during her college years, and her time spent in Philadelphia (which ultimately inspired her return to Boston and sparked the idea of BAMS Fest). Catherine also shared with us the criteria behind BAMS Fest's selection process for performers, advice she has for up-and-coming artists, and her overall views on the state of the creative economy in Boston. This conversation is a must-listen and one we're sure you're going to love and appreciate!Catherine T.

The more that changes in the digital world, the more that stays the same. For all the disruption of AI, two trends appear totally unchanging. Firstly, it's the big players - Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Apple - that appear to be most benefitting from the AI revolution. Secondly, creative individuals continue to struggle to make money in the online economy. That, at least, is the view of That Was The Week's Keith Teare who, in spite of his general optimism about our digital future, argues in his latest newsletter that online creators are struggling to make a living. “Where is the Money” Keith asks. Not, he concludes, with the musicians, writers and filmmakers who create the content of our creative economy. Keith Teare is a Founder and CEO at SignalRank Corporation. Previously he was Executive Chairman at Accelerated Digital Ventures Ltd - A UK-based global investment company focused on startups at all stages. He was also previously the founder at the Palo Alto incubator, Archimedes Labs. Archimedes was the original incubator for TechCrunch and since 2011 has invested, accelerated or incubated many Silicon Valley startups including Around (sold to Miro), Millicast (Sold to Dolby), InFarm, Miles, Quixey; M.dot (sold to GoDaddy); chat.center; Loop Surveys; DownTown and Sunshine. Teare has a track record as a serial entrepreneur with big ideas and has achieved significant returns for investors.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Contemporary Arab art doesn't always get the attention it deserves or needs. Alia Al-Senussi — cultural strategist and arts affairs advisor — talks to us about the power that museums hold in informing and shaping cultures, forgiving and healing from the pasts, and building resilient economies. Focussing on Saudi Arabia's cultural revolution in motion, she explains why everyone seems to be obsessed with the so-called “creative economy” and how her own relationship with art started as a tourist, delineating between modern and contemporary art. Finally, she highlights the critical role that artists and their art play as “interpreters of our time” and the difficulties of building private and public collections, and shares her “playbook” for building a successful cultural institution. For art lovers and curious minds alike, Alia also shares her favorite museums, cultural institutions and galleries, and communities from across the region as well as her favourite North African artists. Alia Al-Senussi is a cultural strategist and art world affairs advisor with nearly 20 years of experience in the field. She works with cultural organisations across the world to support the creative sector. She is Art Basel's UK and MENA representative and advisor for the Milken Institute of Arts and Culture, and has previously been chair of the Tate Young Patrons, founding member of the Tate's Acquisitions Committee for the Middle East and North Africa, and the board of Patrons of Art Dubai.THIS SERIES IS PART OF THE AFIKRA PODCAST NETWORKThe afikra Podcast is our flagship series featuring experts from academia, art, media and beyond who are helping document and/or shape the histories and cultures of the Arab world through their ‎work.
