Season 2, EPISODE 4: RAHELEH FILSOOFI :|: immense, boundless, and limitless

Season 2 · Episode 4

Thursday, January 4, 2024 • Duration 01:34:46

This episode features a conversation with host, Rhonda Willers, and guest, Raheleh Filsoofi.

Raheleh is based in Nashville, Tennessee. Born in Tehran and raised during the post-Islamic Revolution era and eight years of war with Iraq that followed, she is a keen observer of the world, integrating the subtleties of experiences within her performances and art.

When we spoke, Raheleh was in her third week of an artist residency at MacDowell in New Hampshire. She had recently completed an incredible year that included multiple significant exhibitions and performances, and as part of her residency she was taking time to reflect on the work she had completed in the past year.

Be sure to listen to the end of our conversation where she shares part of her newest poem.

EPISODE 7: JAZMIN SWANSON :|: a quick walk…not a stroll, not a run

Season 1 · Episode 7

Thursday, April 14, 2022 • Duration 01:51:10

This episode features a conversation with host, Rhonda Willers, and guest, Jazmin Swanson.

Jazmin is a ceramic artist and teacher currently living in Oceanside, California. At one point after graduating from art school, she told herself “I’m never going to be an artist again,” because it felt safe to say this, but as you’ll hear that only lasted for a bit of time because her creativity and urge to make came back.

We explore what it means to find your voice again after a creative break and how she has always had this way of confidently doing things and knowing herself well enough to advocate for what she needs. Jazmin also shares how she avoids burnout by keeping her creativity and herself at a quick walking pace, not running and not strolling, but a quick walking pace that keeps her ideas and self growing.

Episode 6: Theresa Schneveis :|: hibernating creativity

Season 1 · Episode 6

Thursday, April 7, 2022 • Duration 01:41:53

This episode features a conversation with host, Rhonda Willers, and guest, Theresa Schneveis, a multimedia artist, arts educator, and arts administrator living in Virginia. Her connection and conversations with her creativity started at a very early age. You’ll hear about her early mentors and artist community and how community remains an important part of keeping her creativity full of vitality. As we are in real time emerging from winter in the Upper Midwest, Theresa’s expression that her creativity is currently hibernating seems very fitting to share as this week’s episode.

CW // domestic abuse

Topic notice: Later in the conversation, Theresa shares a bit about being in a domestic abuse situation and art making that followed (47 minute marker - 49 minute marker). If this is a topic that would cause harm to your being, please skip this section of the conversation or skip this episode. Lisa does pause to alert listeners to the topic.

Episode 5: Olivia House :|: yes, and...

Season 1 · Episode 5

Wednesday, March 30, 2022 • Duration 01:39:31

This episode features a conversation with host, Rhonda Willers, and guest, Olivia House, a Black designer based in Chicago. Social change is at the core of her practice, and Olivia uses design to teach, heal, and build community.

You’ll hear how a realization prompted a summer-long research project that became so much more. She describes her immersive research approach to her project: Where are all the black designers?

Olivia and Rhonda talk about what advocacy looks like in combination with design and about how a little seed of agency grew in her and can grow in each of us to realize our own capacity to create change.

Episode 4: Anders Dickson :|: keep your door open

Season 1 · Episode 4

Thursday, March 24, 2022 • Duration 02:10:03

This episode features a conversation with host, Rhonda Willers, and guest, Anders Dickson. During one of his artist residencies, there was a requirement to keep your door open on Tuesdays. In this episode, you’ll hear that while that was a physical rule, it’s also a great metaphor for his approach to art making and creative exploration.

At age 20, Anders, an American, started a semester abroad experience in Germany and then remained in Europe for the past 15 years.

One of my favorite parts from his artist statement is: My studio is like a forest of accumulated items wherein I intuitively incorporate images, and gestures from the environment into assemblages…My role is to move between items like a spider: drawing parallels and connecting narratives into a network with its own internal logic.

He currently lives and works between Holland and Paris.

Please enjoy this episode with Anders Dickson.

Episode 3: Ira Elliot Corbett :|: your creativity is sacred

Season 1 · Episode 3

Thursday, March 10, 2022 • Duration 01:27:53

This episode features a conversation between host, Rhonda Willers, and guest, Ira Elliot Corbett. Ira is a nonbinary transgender artist living and working in the Twin Cities of Minnesota.

In our conversation I was struck by their practice of asking themselves questions, such as what do they want to share from a happy place of making and exploration?

You’ll also hear how BTS lyrics from their song, Black Swan, inspired Ira to ask, am I having my first death of my creativity right now? And how Ira feels a bit like a baby deer learning to walk after recognizing this first death.

You will want to hear their studio wrap up answers. One of Ira’s responses connected and hit me so deeply, I was moved to tears, literally.
