  • How can play help us be better activists with Matteo De Vos

    This week we are back in the blanketfort with an interview episode to explore how we can bring more play and creativity to the work we do and the way we work to change the world.

    Lucie is joined by activist and community organiser Matteo De Vos to discuss the role of play in community organising and making change. Matteo cares deeply and seriously about making his work as an activist as playful, joyful and creative as possible. As a theatre improviser and a community organizer for Roots (part of Greenpeace organisation), he uses creative storytelling to fight for environmental and social justice. He is also the host of the For Food's Sake podcast and the Why We Organize podcast.

    You can find out more about Roots here, or listen to For Food's Sake or Why We Organize.

  • Wonder is a Practice with Annie Yi

    Welcome back to the blanket fort and after an August of play projects we are back with full interview episodes. This week I am delighted to be speaking to Annie Yi a storyteller, artist, and animal enthusiast. She tells stories that help people see themselves and their place in the world in a new light. 

    Over the episode we discuss how to access states of wonder, what prevents us from feeling wonder and how we can cultivate a practice of wonder to turn it from something that happens once in a while to a regular part of our life. 

    Annie also shares her wisdom on how we shift perspective and look again at things we think we know or are scared we don't understand. 

    In the episode, we discuss the painting. - Women with Sunflower by Mary Cassatt you can find an image of that painting here. 

    You can find out more about Annie through her website, or her instagram.
