Episode 147 - The Don's Top 20 Countdown: 18 - Jean Curran
Writer and "craictivist", The Don continues her top 20 picks from 144 episodes of A Pint With Seaniebee. (A perfect starting
point for first-time listeners to the series).
THE DON: If the overarching goal of the podcast is to find brave people who have lived creative and interesting lives, Jean certainly fits the bill, with her adventurous spirit and fearless curiosity.
************************************************************
JEAN CURRAN HAS A PINT WITH SEANIEBEE
Today we are joined by one of Europe’s foremost photography-based artists. Born into an Irish farming family, Jean began her career as a photojournalist, with her work quickly gaining traction in both the national and international press. In her twenties, she sojourned to Africa, producing stunning assignments in both Ghana and Kenya. Two years ago, she bravely embedded herself with the coalition armies in Afghanistan in search of a long-lost, hand-painted, photography technique unique to the country. Her next project brought her to the Comoros Islands and she shares the fascinating culture that has developed there. Working in so many different Muslim countries, she unveils a very different side to Islam than the one most prevalent in our current news headlines. Most recently, she has based herself in London working as one of the only practicing masters in the declining art of dye transfer. Jean is an inspiration to anyone who has a dream or an ambitious idea and explains how single-minded determination, faith, trust and bravery can always make amazing things happen.
