This episode features Benny, a musician and producer who performs under the name Muted Circus. Benny, originally from Orange County, California, is currently based in Brooklyn, New York. He spent seven years in Tokyo, Japan, and attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. The discussion starts with Benny sharing the story of his first rock concert at the age of 13, where he saw The Get Up Kids in a small, intimate venue in his hometown. This concert sparked his lifelong passion for live music, leading him to attend concerts frequently, including during his college years and time in Japan. Benny reminisces about the DIY music scene of Orange County in the '90s and shares anecdotes about attending shows with his older brother and friends. He also recalls a memorable yet disappointing encounter with Dave Mustaine from Megadeth during a concert in Tokyo, juxtaposing it with a positive experience meeting Marty Friedman, a former Megadeth guitarist.The conversation then shifts towards Benny's musical project, Muted Circus, a deeply personal undertaking inspired by the death of his father. The project comprises 10 EPs with 50 songs, each featuring his father's visual artwork on the covers. Benny explains how creating this music helped him process his grief and reflect on his relationship with his father. He delves into the themes explored in his music, often revolving around the impact of his parents on his life. Benny shares the challenges and emotional journey of writing and recording these songs over several years. He also introspects on the nuances of live vs. recorded music and the emotional resonance that well-produced music can often deliver.During the interview, Benny performs 'Disconnection,' a song from his final EP in the Muted Circus series. The song captures the sentiment of final phone calls with a loved one and reflects Benny's extensive relationship with his father through daily check-ins on the phone. The episode concludes with Benny discussing his future plans for more music releases under different projects and emphasizing the therapeutic power of music in processing complex emotions. Listeners can explore Benny's work on platforms like Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.BANDS: No Doubt, The Get Up Kids, Jimmy Eat World, Real Big Fish, Gwen and Eric Stefani, Megadeth, NSYNC, Metallica, Slayer, Marty Friedman, Dave Mustaine.VENUES: Makuhari Messe (Japan), Koos Cafe, The Chain Reaction, Madison Square Garden.

Our next guest is Katie Chung. A visual artist based in Chicago. I was introduced to her work through her mural for Good Things Vending with Steph Krim! I then found out she's created pieces for Facebook, Google, Adobe, 360 Chicago at the Hancock, and even a traditional Hanbok from handwritten garment tags from her mom's laundromat [amongst many other cool textile pieces]. We explore generational trauma, what healing could look like, and her Korean-American experience. She recently completed a solo trip to Korea and got to visit areas her parents previously lived in. It was truly a real conversation. https://www.katiechung.com/https://www.instagram.com/katiechungart

Episode 574Based in Brooklyn, NY, this passionate visual artist is dedicated to breaking through the barriers of the art establishment. Throughout their artistic journey, they have consistently created works that reflect aspirations for fame, recognition, and prosperity. However, penetrating the walls of the art world remains an elusive ideal for many artists. Their relentless fight against the Cultural Elite Machinery (CEM) showcases a commitment to challenging the status quo and advocating for visibility and acknowledgment for all artists seeking to be seen and heard. Through their work, they confront the"Invisible Enemy" that dictates the fates of creatives, pushing boundaries and forging a path for authentic artistic expression.

Debora Medici-Guetta has inspired me since the day I met her. I could feel her intense passion for her work, her support of women, and for being someone not afraid to talk about her journey in life. So won't you please welcome her to our show this incredibly talented photographer & photojournalist, graphic artist, and documentary filmmaker. Debora was born in Rome, and the first time she landed in Los Angeles, she felt at home among other creatives free to express their art unfiltered. She now divides her time between here and Italy. Debora took time off, like many women, to focus on family. Her husband is famed artist #MrBrainwash, aka Thierry Guetta, and that alone is a full time job managing that level of notoriety. But a decade ago, Debora decided to get back into the game and began the intuitive process of reframing who she was, one image at a time. A return to making art meant embarking, in Debora's words, on “a big, long, introspective journey.” After several years refining her technique and honing her perspective, she would reveal a series of photographs aptly titled, “Out of The Shadow,” a haunting body of images that reflected Debora's desire to shed the trappings of the past and position herself as an artist in the world. She followed this exhibition with “Landed”, a series of collages that capture the frenetic and freeing energy of the world's great urban centers. As her vision grew, so did Debora's interests, so she started working with, and eventually joined, the board of directors for We Do It Together (WDIT), a nonprofit that produces films, documentaries, TV, and new media uniquely dedicated to the empowerment of women. Recently, for International Women's Day, the group launched “One of Us,” a documentary for which Debora served as honorary set photographer. The film, sponsored by Consulate General of Italy in Los Angeles, follows four Italian women who are challenging gender bias and discrimination in their fields of work. We will talk with Debora about her incredibly successful career, and how she encourages women to discover who they are. She says her work “prioritizes emotions over mere moments,” and we'll talk with her about that, in addition to her life, and of course living with #MrBrainwash himself. Lots to ask there. Please join my interview with Deborah Medici-Guetta on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, & #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to have you with us.

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode Emily interviews artist and singer Mary Graham about her journey from drawing as a child, to painting in high school and eventually moving to the Bay Area to study at the California College of the Arts. Mary discusses her recent residencies in Maine and Colorado, and exhibitions at the Berkeley Art Center and Jonathan Carver Moore Gallery. She delves into her impactful 'brown paper bag' series, which explores themes of colorism inspired by her father's stories and broader research. Mary also reflects on influential works by artists like David Hammonds and Betty Saar, and shares her inspiration drawn from the streets of San Francisco. The episode highlights Mary's creative process, community experiences, and the significant role of the emerging artists program at the Museum of the African Diaspora in her career.About Artist Mary Graham :Mary W.D. Graham an interdisciplinary artist working in painting, sculpture, and vocal performance. Utilizing art-making methods rooted in traditional techniques, she studies the notion of “the ancestors” as a conceptual medium through which historical, interpersonal, and introspective insight might be gained.Her conceptual development originates from the veneration of her own lineage, an off-shoot of the African American spiritual tradition of ancestor worship. The work expands to encompass themes of generational love, collective human origin, our relationship to history, and our relationship to the future (the unknown). Working primarily in figuration and portraiture, she utilizes a level of precision in her representation. Her compositions are minimal; the subtlety of the substrate, or the intentional application of color intend for focus to be drawn to the subject. The subtlety of this approach is meant to provide a contemplative environment in which significance might be derived. These aesthetic philosophies of simplicity, stillness, and precision are applied to her performance work as well, which is rooted in her training as a classical vocalist. Here, the human voice is utilized as a kind of clarion. The haunting melodies are structured to slowly fill space and time, drawing viewers in so that they might share in what manifests from the collective experience of song.Mary was born in 2000 and grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania amongst a family of artists. She attended California College of the Arts where she received her BFA in Individualized Studies in 2022. Her travels for arts and cultural exchange have taken her around the globe to Mexico, Japan, Kenya, South Africa, Peru, Morocco, Indonesia, and India.Graham has been exhibiting, collaborating and performing nationally since 2006. She was a commissioned artist for projects at Burning Man from 2019 through 2023, performed at the Institute of Contemporary Art + San Francisco in 2022, and in 2024, opened her first solo exhibition at Museum of the African Diaspora as part of their Emerging Artist's Program. Graham's work has been covered by CBS News, 48hills and the MoAD Journal. She has been awarded residencies with Black [Space] Residency in San Francisco, California; Haystack Mountain School of Craft in Deer Isle, Maine; and Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, Colorado.Visit Mary's Website:  MaryDGraham.comFollow  on Instagram:  @Mary.Graham.ArtTo learn more about the Beatiful Scars Exhibit at Jonathan Carver Moore CLICK HERE.For more on Archives Yet To Come at the Berkeley Art Center, CLICK HERE. --About Podcast Host Emily Wilson:Emily a writer in San Francisco, with work in outlets including Hyperallergic, Artforum, 48 Hills, the Daily Beast, California Magazine, Latino USA, and Women's Media Center.

Robin Aisha Landsong is a remarkable individual who has delved deep into the mysterious realms of near-death experiences (NDEs). Her extraordinary journey through the veil of life and death has captivated the hearts and minds of countless people, inspiring them to question the nature of existence and the mysteries that lie beyond.Born with an innate sense of curiosity and a deep spiritual connection, Robin's path in life was always destined to be unconventional. From a young age, she was drawn to the esoteric and the metaphysical, seeking answers to questions that most would never dare to ask. This insatiable thirst for knowledge led her on a transformative journey that would ultimately bring her face-to-face with the profound and enigmatic phenomenon of near-death experiences.Robin's fascination with NDEs began when she stumbled upon a book that chronicled the accounts of individuals who had traversed the threshold between life and death. These extraordinary stories resonated deeply within her, igniting a fire within her soul and compelling her to explore this uncharted territory further.Driven by a relentless passion, Robin immersed herself in extensive research, devouring books, scientific papers, and personal testimonies about NDEs. She traveled far and wide, seeking out experts and connecting with individuals who had undergone these profound experiences. Through their stories, she pieced together a tapestry of knowledge, bridging the gap between science and spirituality.However, it wasn't enough for Robin to acquire knowledge from others. She was determined to experience the realm of near-death herself—to walk the fine line between life and death and bring back firsthand accounts from the other side. In a bold and daring move, she embarked on a series of spiritual practices and meditative journeys, intent on crossing the threshold and exploring the depths of the unknown.What followed was a sequence of transformative encounters as Robin became intimately acquainted with the mysteries of life and death. She experienced moments of profound stillness and absolute clarity, where the boundaries between her physical form and the ethereal realms dissolved into nothingness. Time and space ceased to exist as she danced between realms, connecting with a higher consciousness that whispered ancient truths into her receptive mind.Robin emerged from these experiences with a renewed sense of purpose and an unwavering determination to share her insights with the world. Her journey had gifted her with a unique perspective, one that could bridge the gap between the realms of the living and the dead, the scientific and the spiritual. With unwavering devotion, she set out to educate and inspire others about the transformative potential of near-death experiences.As a renowned Visual Artist, Medicine Singer, Health Intuitive, and teacher, Robin Aisha Landsong has touched the lives of countless individuals, offering solace to those who fear death and hope to those who seek meaning in their lives. Her work transcends cultural and religious boundaries, providing a common ground where seekers from all walks of life can come together to explore the profound mysteries of existence.Through her books, lectures, and workshops, Robin continues to shine a light on the transformative power of near-death experiences. Her words resonate with authenticity and wisdom, weaving a tapestry of hope and understanding that transcends the limitations of the physical world.Robin Aisha Landsong's journey is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the boundless potential that lies within each of us. Through her tireless efforts, she invites us to embrace the beauty of life, the inevitability of death, and the infinite possibilities that lie beyond the veil.Please enjoy my conversation with Robin Landsong.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

Robin Aisha Landsong, born in the US, was abducted and drugged at eight years old. When she woke up she gradually realized she had been abandoned in Rhodesia, Africa at the height of its 1977 civil war. She survived two near-death experiences, including a gunshot wound to the head, and was briefly adopted by a local family. Robin's astonishing story, told in her new book Loving Bravely, is one of resilience and determination to face trauma, survive, and thrive. Long after returning to the US, Robin spent years seeking the location where she had lived in Africa, searching for survivors of the black family that discovered a dying white child and adopted her. Today Robin is a Transformational Speaker, Visual Artist, Medicine Singer, and Medical/Health Intuitive. Her specialties as a Craniosacral Therapist are trauma resolution, the neurobiology of connection, and restoring the natural rhythms in the body. She shares her story and numerous insights on today's show.

To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Our year end goal is to raise $50,000. Thank you for your continued support!  Description:  What does it take to be politically outspoken in Hollywood? You may know Amanda Seales from her role on HBO's “Insecure”, her stand-up comedy, her podcast and radio show or her viral videos on social media. She's lost agents, her publicist, and has had speaking gigs retracted for her commitment to social justice. From Black women to Palestinians in Gaza, Seales uses her platform to speak honestly about harm done to others. She talks powerfully about her experiences with the dangers of fame and celebrity in Hollywood, neurodivergence, white supremacy and a whole lot more. In this conversation, Laura Flanders asks Amanda Seales about our progress as a country, what it means to be an “artistic intellectual” and about the educators who've helped her along the way. Hear why Seales is “divesting from celebrity” and taking backlash from her support for Palestinians as “a badge of honor”. Plus, go behind the scenes with Seales with the full, uncut conversation from this week's show. Laura will tell you more.“. . . You are definitely expected to just take whatever gossip is said about you. You have to take it all on the chin because you've made this somehow unspoken exchange that having monetary gain and visibility means that you have to allow harm. And what I've decided is I am divesting from celebrity.” - Amanda Seales“I lost my agents, I lost my publicist, and I have definitely had speaking engagements and different gigs retracted because of my support of Palestine and my outward support of the ending of apartheid in Palestine. I got to tell you, I take it as a badge of honor. I do. It's good trouble, rest in peace to John Lewis. I am so honored for all those people.” - Amanda SealesGuests:  Amanda Seales, Artistic Intellectual Watch the broadcast episode cut for time at our YouTube channel and airing on PBS stations across the country Subscribe to episode notes via PatreonMusic In the Middle:  “Hope” by Shaun Escoffery from his forth coming expanded digital album release of In The Red Room coming out on Dome Records.  And additional music included- "Steppin"  by Podington Bear. RESOURCES:Related Laura Flanders Show Episodes:•.

Melbourne-based visual artist and electronic musician Mike Lane creates under the name Chalom, a name spoken to him in a dream. His practice consists of visually expressing dreams and meditations, with mostly found materials, embedded bible pages, penciled notes, and spray paint. Beyond the haphazard backgrounds of his paintings, brushes or tools are rarely used in the making, just hands and fingers employing scrawly texts, scribbles, and vaguely figurative forms.CHALOM's prolific work is a deeply spiritual practice, and he loves to write blessings and prophecies, hidden under the paintings for the viewer to experience as mysteries and positive energetic flow, intended to shift the atmosphere in the spaces where the works are hung.In this episode, Chalom talks with Stephen Roach about his creative process and the deeply-felt spiritual underpinnings behind his visual art.Topics: Dreams and VisionsAbstract ArtRisk in ArtSurprise in Art Experiencing the Now Name Drops: Ludwig Von Zinzendorf Henri Nouwen Rivertribe Become a Patron!
