A wide-ranging and necessary conversation with composer and performer Colin Self about redefining "health" for ambitious creators. Colin discusses re-orienting their practice toward attunement—the daily skill of noticing relationships between self, others, and the environment.

A live conversation with writer Joon Oluchi Lee and jeweler Tracy Steepy on how creative people uniquely define health and why it matters. For Lee, health is the luxury of forgetting the body entirely; for Steepy, it’s the rare feeling of being fully present and generative. Both have learned that creativity cannot be forced through discipline alone—it requires a body willing to meet you there.

A clear-eyed conversation with homeopath and former educator Kristina Jermain about the realities of launching a practice fresh out of school. Jermain’s path began when her daughter’s severe autism and PANS diagnosis led her beyond conventional medicine—and past non-classical homeopathy—to the gentle, profound efficacy of the classical tradition.

An in-depth conversation with artist and arts leader Shaun Leonardo about how creative practice reveals the body’s innate intelligence and capacity for transformation. Leonardo’s decade of work with incarcerated individuals and trauma survivors has led him to a radical premise: certain experiences cannot be processed through language alone.

A recounting by arts organizer Roddy Schrock about his pivot to homeopathy and redefining wellness for creative people. Schrock unveils his new podcast, Ultradilute, as a space to explore what he terms "a radical healing technology." He argues that homeopathy and creativity are parallel processes, both operating through the subtle mechanisms of imagination and consciousness rather than conventional, material logic.

Today's conversation is with Zachary Small, staff reporter for the NY Times. I have been following their arts journalism since they wrote for Hyperallergic years ago. They're often the first to identify new, consequential developments in a field that thrives on change.

Today's conversation is with Prem Krishnamurthy, designer, author, and educator. His multifaceted work explores the role of art as an agent of transformation at an individual, collective, and structural level. This manifests itself in books, exhibitions, images, performances, publications, systems, talks, texts, and workshops.

I've known Sara Wookey since we both lived in the Netherlands when I was working in creating music for dance, collaborating with our mutual friend Seamus Cater. Her career progressed in very exciting ways, eventually becoming a student of the seminal figure in dance, Yvonne Rainer and is a certified teacher of Rainer’s seminal dance work “Trio A” (1966) and other repertoire. She received her Phd. from Coventry University in England where her research looked at dance in the museum as relation and social-spatial practice contributing to institutional change and a model for public spaces post-Covid. She is now based in Cambridgeshire, England and works as dancer/choreographer, researcher and consultant. And she's also a square dance caller.

Having worked in the arts in NYC for about 15 years now, a constant inspiration has been Ruby Lerner. I have found her profound commitment to the importance of artists in building a more imaginative and rich culture in this country and her extraordinary talent in realizing that belief as the founder of Creative Capital, to be the gold standard of how to build rational and strategic approaches to arts funding.

My friend, the designer and artist, Mushon Zer-Aviv was in town a few months ago so we sat down to catch up. Having worked in open, values-driven design in tech for the last two decades, Mushon goes deep into what he sees as being the mistakes of the early internet and how we can avoid them in the future. His thoughtfulness is always optimistic: as he says, he is a designer so he wants to design! He points to the contradictions inherent in our tendency to offload "ethics into infrastucture" and the kind of return of the tech bros singing the same song with web3. This is a wide-ranging conversation that points to so many of the current challenges while showing new paths to the future.
