GOOD CONVERSATION
GOOD CONVERSATION
Birthed in 2020, amid a world seemingly brought to a standstill, the series Good Conversation emerged as an expression of my personal response to the year’s unique challenges and an offering to the collective. The global pause invited us - individually and collectively - to reflect deeply on what truly mattered. This contemplative space birthed a virtual gathering ground: a live interview series where creatives shared their thoughts on art, the creative process, and the ways in which these pursuits intertwine with our desire for holistic well-being.
Working within the creative industry, I often found myself torn between two seemingly opposing paths: committing fully to the demands of my craft or prioritizing my wellness. 2020 offered a rare opportunity to examine this dichotomy. I realized that both art and health held profound significance for me, and rather than striving for perfect balance, I sought a way for them to coexist harmoniously. This realization became the foundation of Good Conversation.
The series aimed to build a community where meaningful engagement and honest dialogue could flourish. Through accessible and authentic exchanges, Good Conversation explored how creativity shapes and is shaped by our well-being - emotionally, mentally, and physically. By inviting creatives to share their journeys, challenges, and insights with a deeply engaged collective the series fostered a shared understanding and rich dialogue of what it means to live and create with intention.
At its heart, Good Conversation was a testament to the belief that art and wellness are not mutually exclusive. Instead, they can inform and elevate each other, creating space for a more sustainable and fulfilling creative life. Though I’ve chosen to temporarily pause the series, it was, and remains, a celebration of the power of connection and the enduring importance of thoughtful dialogue in challenging times.
