Today we have with us UK-based glass artist and ceramist Daniel Rollitt, that uses traditional and digital techniques to create kiln-formed sculptures.

Heads up, this was a very technical conversation about the methods and processes of glass sculpting and how sustainability can still be applied when using this material. I learn a lot about the techniques involved and I am sure you will too.

In today’s conversion, we will touch on subjects of dysphoria, assimilation and imperialism with Amy Yoshitsu. Amy is an accomplished sculptor, designer, and socially engaged artist that deconstructs the interconnections between power, economics, labor, and race to illuminate their foundational impact on personal schemas and interpersonal relationships. In 2020, Amy co-founded Converge Collaborative, a BIPOC and art-led workers coop and creative collective and if you want to know more about it I will leave the link in the description below.

Here with me today I have Paul Brooke, a wild photographer, eco poet and writer. Paul started as a biologist and later transformed his passion for wildlife into a career as a photographer and poet. Most of his works are a merger between his knowledge of science - the ecosystems, his passion for culture and eco theories that are then showcased in his unique poem structures and his perspective as a photographer that records his observations of nature.

As a photographer, Paul dedicates his practice to highlighting species like jaguars or pumas to understand the specific  adaptations and behaviours. As a consequence, he travels often to Brazil and Chile to be in contact with local communities and their wildlife, and this is an intrinsic aspect of his practice.

Paul is an accomplished photographer, lectures and poet with many books published and awards received and he shares his experiences on the nuances of being a wildlife photographer.

See his work here.

This season we have a very interesting group of artists from all around the world and for this first episode, I have with me Miami artist and artivist Melanie Oliva.

She founded the collective artful activist and Inspiration Pollination to raise awareness of endangered fauna and flora and bring the conversation about social atmospheres to the general public, opening the door to create change in policies.

We had a very inspirational conversation, looking at how art interventions can influence change not only individually but also at the political level.

Today is the last episode of season one and I just want to thank everyone that has supported this initiative and give a special thanks to all the amazing artists that took the time to speak to all of us. I grew so much from all these inspiring artists and conversations and I hope you all too.

For the last guest of the season we have Cheryl Maeder a photographer and video/sound installation artist whose practice focuses on the notion of  ‘connection’; the connection to the self, each other and all life forms.  Maeder’s installations have been exhibited all over the world and in this conversation, she shares the inspirations behind her practice and her thoughts on environmental justice.
