Self-Expression, Creativity & Authenticity. A Conversation With ALICIA BENJAMIN // Pt 2


Listen Later

Hey peeps, welcome to Part 2! 

We begin this part by talking about Alicia's personal experiences at Edinburgh University & the creativity scene there. We talk about how Alicia uses instagram to promote her artistic work, projects & the wider role the app plays in our modern GenZ culture. We really deep how powerful instagram is as a form of self-expression and how if used healthily it can be a super creative & fun place to be. 

Alicia gives us the run down on how she captures her highly provocative and striking images and films and generally the behind the scenes to all her works. We also chat about the projects Alicia's been involved in and my goodness does she get us excited by all the projects which are yet to come out - ahhh stay tuned !! 

Dance is something which I truly believe can change lives. Prepare yourself for my monologue about the power of dance and how transformative and liberating it is from the constraints of society and indeed one's own mind. Alicia's views on dance are so insightful and I personally really love this part of the episode, so enjoy & after the podcast go pop on some music & get grooving! 

It's super cool to hear Alicia's specific area of interest & what she wants to dedicate her future art to and trust me it's such a fascinating concept one of which I've never seen any artist tackle before.

We finish the episode off by talking about the creative careers, ways in which young aspiring artists can find opportunities & Alicia's dream artists to work with - dream, believe, achieve! 

Thank you so much Alicia, it's been such an absolute pleasure. Honestly, whenever you speak I generally am in awe. You're without a doubt the most creative person I know whose future I am genuinely so excited to see how unfolds. Don't miss out on all the exciting projects she gets up to so give her a follow on @aliciaabenjamin ;))
