The Process

Welcome to Season III of The Process. We are here to live into the questions of what makes an artist/creative tick. Where do we find inspiration? How do we keep going? How do we make creative work sustainable?

Tavair's Work: https://tavairdominque.com/

The Process Podcast is a community journalism project which aims to provide a collaborative, uplifting, and sustainable platform for artists. We feature conversations with creatives of all disciplines, from professional (and published) chefs to documentary filmmakers to Grammy-award winning mixing engineers.

Hosted by Siena Rose Facciolo and Tavair Dominque, produced by Jessica S Luo, this growing collection of conversations and stories spark imagination and connection for listeners around the globe. Whether it be poetry or photographs, creative work takes real time and energy. That time and energy needs resources to thrive - that's where our podcast comes in. We believe that art is crucial and deserves to be financed. We hope to share that message with Process listeners to help artists build careers that are not only sustainable, but thriving.

“The actual presence of others (proximity and regular contact) is essential, and many studies document these structural indicators have just as powerful and, in some cases, more potent effects on indicators of health and well-being.” (Holt-Lunstad J, Steptoe A., 2022 Study)
