We Are Rhythm

This story is about Tera and Simia who lived on a divine island where everything was made out of a vast nothing and ... everything.

It is written by Juan- Carlos Golio (Djee Si). He is an anthropologist, writer and storyteller who searches for new ways to connect art, society and technology. He works and lives in both Curacoa and Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

The illustrations for this story are made by Francis Sling. An artist/graphic designer, who lived in cold Holland for 18 years, but turned back to his island, Curacao, in 2018. The fact that he can now attract people from everywhere to his gallery and leave them with a smile in such a troubled world...is pure gold for him.

Rhythm is of all times and everywhere around us. In the moon and the stars, in ebb and flow, in trams, buses and traffic lights, at home and at school, on the internet and in your telephone. Rhythm is a force that helps us to be healthy, to carry on and to feel good. 

In this podcast, you can listen to stories from scientific and artistic researchers and their experience with rhythm in our rapidly changing world.
