On today's episode, Philippa discusses her Blueberries and Cherries initiative that commenced following the 2016 Presidential election. This entailed Philippa inviting Trump voters to her residence for a home cooked meal and an opportunity to engage in civil discourse. At times, Philippa (a progressive) had stark disagreements with her guests but her experience is one of encouragement and progress. Shortly after, we look at the extreme politicization of our society and how one's identity has morphed into one's political beliefs. To close, we examine some of the root causes behind the current state of affairs in America and what can change.

Philippa P.B. Hughes is a Social Sculptor and Creative Strategist who designs relational spaces for honest conversations across political, social, and cultural differences. She has produced hundreds of creative activations since 2007 for people who might not normally meet to engage with one another in unconventional and meaningful ways. These relational experiences build social capital, social cohesion, and social discourse. Her practice encompasses a multi-disciplinary approach informed by sociology, psychology, philosophy, political science, history, community organizing, design thinking, creative placemaking, art, and humanities. Philippa, who has been published many times and has spoken on multiple platforms, speaks about how to have better conversations and about using creative placemaking and innovative interventions and happenings to strengthen communities and to increase dialogue between people who might not normally interact. She also speaks about the personal transformation that comes from curiosity and discomfort.

In this era of deepening polarization and intensifying tribalization, Americans have fewer and fewer contacts and communication across partisan lines. Philippa Hughes is a Washington, D.C.-based social sculptor and creative strategist who has long attempted to bridge our divisions by bringing people together for meaningful conversations about art and our shared American identity. But she has discovered that finding common ground among people from different backgrounds and perspectives is increasingly difficult as our cultural and political wars intensify. Art can divide us as well as emphasize our common humanity, and Philippa has experienced difficulties even in communicating with her own family — including with a cousin who headed ICE under Trump. Join us as we discuss Philippa Hughes' “Looking for America” project, her thoughts on social media and the epidemic of loneliness, and efforts by individuals and cultural institutions to shore up our eroding social infrastructure.
In today's episode, we have Philippa Hughes, a Social Sculptor and Creative Strategist who produces creative projects that transform society through humanizing and compassionate conversations between people who might not normally meet. She facilitates a dinner where she invites politically diverse guests to talk to each other face-to-face and share their experiences and views without the filter. Today, she will talk about understanding what it meant to be American and bringing people together regardless of their political views. She will also share her journey towards becoming an artist and the struggles she faced to achieved it. Bringing Americans back together Understanding Identity Having people for dinner with opposing views What does it mean to be American?
From cooking red and blue spaghetti while hosting Democrats and Republicans around her dining room table to leading dinner events with hundreds of people from diverse political viewpoints in communities across the nation, social sculptor Philippa Hughes has been entrenched in the polarization issues that plague our country, and intent on solving them through grassroots efforts to start conversations. Her dinner series, “Looking for America,” aims to bring people together across the political divide to have frank conversations about politics and try and find common ground. In this episode, Fred and Philippa discuss the current state of polarization nationwide, trends in political conversation that Philippa has identified through her work and how we might be able to help bridge the great political divide as communications professionals.This discussion is part of our series previewing the 2021 Global Communication Report, available now at https://annenberg.usc.edu/research/center-public-relations/global-communication-report.

In this episode of The Artist Business Plan we sit down with Philippa Hughes to discuss her work as a social sculptor and professional conversation starter. We hit the deep topics: politics, polarization, togetherness, unity. Philippa also gives advice on how to be a well versed in a variety of different fields. When you say yes and have range as a creative, you have many more points of information and connections to draw from. And most importantly, be curious and be interested in others. "People with a broad range of interests and knowledge can be more 'successful' in the business world because then you can pull more sources to think of solutions from. That’s what the business world is all about, finding solutions. The more sources of information you have, the better problem solver you’re going to be.”- Philippa Hughes Guest: Philippa P.B. Hughes is a Social Sculptor and Creative Strategist who produces art-fueled projects to spark humanizing, authentic conversations between people who might not normally meet. She has designed and produced hundreds of creative activations since 2007 where curious folks engage with art and with one another in unconventional and meaningful ways. Philippa also leads http://curiosityconnects.us/ (CuriosityConnects.us), a partner in https://www.lookingforamerica.us/ (Looking For America) a national series inviting politically diverse guests to break bread and talk to each other face-to-face using art as a starting point for relationship-building conversations. https://www.philippahughes.com/ (https://www.philippahughes.com/) For more information on applying to Superfine Art Fair as well as recordings of this and all of our past podcasts, just visit http://www.superfine.world/ (www.superfine.world ) IG: https://www.instagram.com/philippahughes_/ (@philippahughes_) IG: https://www.instagram.com/superfineartfair/?hl=en (@superfineartfair) If you want to submit a listener question you can email it to kelsey@superfine.world for a chance of it being answered by Alex, James, and our guest!

With just days to go before the 2020 election, we invited a Trump supporter and a Biden backer to join us in the same (virtual) room, and share the personal reasons behind their vote. We have a lively, spontaneous and surprisingly friendly discussion about the President's controversial personality, the final debate, and big policy and leadership differences between the two candidates. John Pudner is voting for Donald Trump. He is Executive Director of Take Back Our Republic, a non-profit group and a member of Bridge Alliance. John spent three decades managing Republican political campaigns, and was the eldest of 9 children growing up in a 3 bedroom house in inner city Richmond, VA where he attended a conservative, Catholic high school whose alumni included Steve Bannon. Now John is the father of 9 children. Philippa P.B. Hughes is voting for Joe Biden. She produces and creates art projects, and is CEO, Chief Creative Strategist and Social Sculptor at CuriosityConnects.us, a non-profit organization that designs pop-up galleries and physical spaces that bring people together who might not normally engage in dialogue and thoughtful interaction. Philippa is the daughter of a conservative Vietnamese mother and a white father who was a lifelong union member. She also grew up in Richmond, but until our podcast conversation had never met John.
We are joined by Neil Clark, journalist, broadcaster and director of Public Ownership and Dr. Kenneth Surin, professor emeritus of literature and professor of religion and critical theory at Duke University joins us to discuss the Julian Assange. The trial is in its third week and a lot of the focus has been on the hacking charges against him - which, it seems, are being revealed in court to be pretty flimsy. We also heard this week about the fear of repercussions some witnesses are living with, including some members of a Spanish security firm accused of spying on Assange for the CIA while he was living in the Ecuadorian embassy, who were allowed to provide testimony anonymously for fear of being kidnapped or killed by the head of that company. Dr. Reese Halter, award-winning broadcaster, distinguished conservation biologist and author of “Environmental Catastrophe and Ecological Restoration”, joins us to discuss the fires that are ravaging California. There was some bad news for residents of Napa and Sonoma Valley and the fire crews working there - the weather is not with them right now. It’s unusually hot and it's about to get windy, triggering red flag warnings in different parts of Northern California for the next 24 hours. The Glass Fire now covers more than 51 thousand acres and as of last night was just 2 percent contained. Ben Norton - Journalist, writer, filmmaker, assistant editor of The Grayzone and producer of the Moderate Rebels podcast, joins us to discuss his recent piece in Grayzone titled “Fake news hoax exposed: NY Times podcast star lied about joining ISIS”. The lead, the main source for the New York Times’ award-winning podcast, Caliphate, has been arrested and charged with lying about joining ISIS. The major media outlet had relied on this man’s fabricated story as the core of its reporting, and said two US government officials had independently confirmed his identity.Philippa Hughes, Director of Looking For America; and Dr. Dave Ragland, Senior Bayard Rustin Fellow at the Fellowship of Reconciliation and Co-Founder of the Truth Telling Project, join us to discuss trend towards civility and dialogue. Will Americans new slogan become Will You Shut Up, Man. On some days it seems like civility does still rule the day, we have all sorts of folks on our show, we see people working together across this country to run cities, so not all is lost. But then we also have events like Tuesday night’s Presidential debate where civility is thrown out the window. And of course its not just Trump and Biden, we are seeing partisanship in our politics like never before.
CuriosityConnects.us founder Philippa Hughes is a social sculptor and creative strategist. Whether persuading ends of the political spectrum to dine together, or crisscrossing the country "Looking for America", Philippa believes curiosity connects us. I think she's right! Theme and other music by Sean Balick.
Washington D.C.-based social innovator Philippa Hughes was close to refining best practices for bringing together liberals and conservatives together over food and art to engage in meaningful discussion on politics and policy. Then the pandemic happened, and one key element of the formula was rendered impossible--at least for a while--the ability to gather face-to-face. The National Consortium for Creative Placemaking hosted a live, interactive video conference on May 14, 2020 with co-host Meghan Rutigliano to find out how she's shifting her work to cross political and social distance until it's safe to gather again. The video conference was the pilot in a new series called, "Community Coffee Talk." Register for the next one on Thursday, May 28 at 1 pm EDT for a chat with guests from Opositivefestival.org, which brings underinsured artists together with medical providers in Upstate New York for an exchange of services. Guest host, Tamara Gatchell, Principal of Cadence Creative, will lead the discussion. Meghan Rutigliano, Founder of Globally Curated and Burning Man Cultural Ambassador, will co-host.

For this episode Jason went to Superfine art fair in Union Market Washinton,DC. SuperFine is different. The idea behind SuperFine is to reach out to new and novice collectors as well as galleries and emerging artists by putting them in the same room. While walking around, you wouldn't feel overwhelmed by all the art work. The artists and gallerists where engaging and friendly. There were varied artwork styles and sizes on display and diverse DMV artist representation. Overall, a very positive, balanced and engaging art fair. With that, here are a few artist and gallerist Jason interview at the fair. Sumner Crenshaw is an artist from Fredrick, Maryland. Nina O’Neil from Monochrome Collective based in Washinton,DC. Nina Harrast and Sean Micheal Pattern out of the wilds of Fairfax, VA. Nicola Charles 11:Eleven Gallery in Washington,DC. And Finally lets learn about some active listening from Philippa Hughes and Ruthie Macintosh.
In this episode, KiKi interviews Philippa Hughes, a social sculptor, creative placemaker, and cultural strategist. Hughes designs art-fueled projects “connecting people who would not normally meet in meaningful, humanizing dialogue.” Her current project, “Looking for America” is on tour and features discussions on what it means to be American. Hmmm...might she have something intriguing to teach association executives who are charged with connecting people and providing a safe place for civil discourse? Looking for America is a project in collaboration with New American Economy, American University School of Public Affairs, and CuriosityConnects.us. It is a new initiative exploring immigration and American identity in six dynamic communities across the United States through public art, storytelling, and dialogue. In each community, Looking for America partners with local cultural institutions to curate art exhibitions featuring immigrant and U.S.-born artists who answer the question, “What does it mean to be American in your community?” Community members from different backgrounds and political identities are invited to engage with each exhibition and offer their own perspectives and stories over a shared meal.
Art has been inspiring writers for centuries. But what's the value in it? Local community organizer - or social sculptor - Philippa Hughes of The Pink Line Project gives us her take on the conversation that can happen between disciplines. Then she joins Courtney and Rachel for an art-inspired writing session! Plus, we hear art-inspired pieces from Jennifer Clements and Jennifer Atkinson.
In this episode, Cody has a conversation with Philippa Hughes, the founder of Curiosity Connects Us, an organization that connects people who would not typically associate with each other. Specifically democrats and republicans. The idea came about after the 2016 election didn’t turn out the way Philippa had hoped. So, she came up with an idea to learn why. She decided to host a dinner at her home in Washington D.C., where she invited liberals and conservatives. Her mission was to create a space where both sides of the aisle could meet in a setting conducive to meaningful conversation. Since that first dinner, Philippa has hosted many similar dinners, and says that the project is about sitting across from one another and having a nuanced conversation. This conversation came about by way of a LinkedIn message. Jeff Salzgeber, with New American Economy, a bipartisan immigration advocacy and reform organization, messaged Cody about a tour making a stop in Anchorage, Alaska called “Looking For America,” of which Philippa's organization Curiosity Connects Us is part of. The goal of the tour is to answer a fundamental question: “What does it mean to be American?” Philippa says that it’s impossible to universally answer that question because everyone’s American experience is unique. Which is why, throughout the conversation, she emphasizes the importance of face-to-face interaction and civil discourse. Because, she says, when we listen to each other, we learn more.
Is it possible to get liberals and conservatives to talk about politics without resorting to name calling? What if there were a way to get ordinary people from both sides of the political divide to discuss politics and policy using art and a creative process? We interviewed Washington D.C.-based creative placemaker Philippa Hughes when we were together at the 2019 Tom Tom Festival and Summit for a panel on creative placemaking. Hear her tell the story about how her curiosity about people's political views prompted her to start Blueberries and Cherries, a series of dinners that puts 'blue' and 'red' people together over dinner for civil discourse and how those dinners have evolved into larger events at art venues. Our interview took place in early April just as she was about to bring her concept to six other cities in the United States in collaboration with New American Economy and the American University School of Public Affairs.

Following the 2016 election, Philippa Hughes realized she didn’t know a single Trump voter and set out to change that by hosting small bipartisan dinner parties – “Blueberries and Cherries” – at her home. This in part led to the creation of “A Good American,” an art show sponsored by American University School of Public Policy and The Pink Line Project that examines the immigrant experience and celebrates what it means to be an American. For Sanity’s first live episode, we traveled to Washington D.C. to help kick off a 50-person bipartisan dinner party celebrating the art exhibit at the Heurich House Musuem with Philippa, the show’s brainchild.

Philippa Hughes is no stranger to conflict, in fact she welcomes it at her dinner table and in her community. Her "band-aid" ripping style leaves no gray area around her take on issues like racism, politics and connection. Our discussion was tangent-filled awesomeness - I'll just leave you with that. Find out why Philippa hates the word "influencer" and her struggle to say "no" when friends are involved.
