    About
    Season 1 of the Artists + Travel podcast is an archive of previously published interviews recorded between April and May 2020. Artist and writer Sarah Thibault reached out to creative people all over the world to find out about their experiences during the early days of the COVID pandemic. The aim of the conversations was two-fold: to share the unique perspectives that arose from different global responses to the spread of the virus, and to unearth the commonalities in these experiences.
    Artists + Travel began as a travel blog for artists that Thibault created in 2018 as a way to document her two+ years living as a nomad and attending artist residencies abroad.  Go here to sign up for her newsletter https://sarahthibault.com/about/

  • Introducing: Artists + Travel

    Artists + Travel is a podcast, hosted by artist and writer Sarah Thibault, that connects listeners with artists, writers, and curators from all over the world. 

    After a major life upheaval. In 2018, Thibault left her home base of San Francisco to travel to artists residencies abroad. For two years, she lived out of her suitcase.  In March 2020 while attending an artist residency in Mexico, the pandemic rocked the world.

    In response to this phenomenon. Thibault reached out to her network of creators all over the world to hear about how they were experiencing the pandemic. The aim of the conversations was two-fold: to share unique perspectives that arise from different global responses to the spread of the virus, and to unearth the commonalities in these experiences to find out what is shared.

    The first season of Artists + Travel is comprised of these interviews from April and early May of 2020. They were first published in conjunction with the Minnesota Street Project. The podcast is meant as an archive of these experiences as well as a jumping off point for new conversations.  Season 2 will be released with new episodes later this spring of 2021 in which Thbault talks to creative people who are bringing their light to the world. Because as Joseph Campbell says in the power of myth, the world is a wasteland. It needs your joy. Subscribe on Anchor, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
