In this episode of Outline, embroidery artist Lizzy Vartanian explains her creative process behind taking old family photos and bringing them to life through embroidery. She tells us about her first exposure to the craft, connecting with her own heritage, and sharing the practice with others. Together, we reflect on the true intangible value of handwork and the stories that are shared and preserved in each final piece.

Collaborative Design in Tunis | El Warcha

This podcast series features a process-focused conversation that looks at a guest's individual projects rather than their full bodies of work. It sketches the journey of the project: the spark of curiosity that led to its birth, the process of implementing the idea, the obstacles that emerged throughout the implementation, and the aftermath of the project, including new questions and new ideas. The name “Outline” stems from the idea of creating a retroactive project outline which is part of a broader emphasis on the process of curiosity, creativity and critical thinking from a nuts and bolts perspective. The series is not discipline-specific: we host artists, academics, fashion designers, writers, filmmakers, among other professionals in their fields.
