On Wanting To Be Useful

On Wanting To Be Useful

This week's solo episode may be the last for Season 2. The amount of hobbies fighting for my attention right now, and the need to sync it with the season and my headspace - I am going to take an art break, meaning I will have a break from and do more visual art and maybe more writing. How are you finding these episodes? Am I still making sense? I feel like I am growing and I am excited and scared for what's to come. Thank you for holding my hand. FYI I was holding yours too.

Mapping the Unknown, Intuitively (feat. Ara)

Maybe Biringan City is the friends we made along the way? This episode features storyteller, filmmaker, artist - Ara Chawdhury! The sink is filled with curiosity and the unknown, and if you lean into your intuitions (a.k.a your spirit guides a.k.a. your great great great grandmother maybe), you'll learn how to map your way towards good things! We also talk about how colonial mentality shows up in self-censorship, and why discomfort, disagreement, and friction is be necessary for real human-human understanding. Enjoy!

Left Under the Sink: Making Ends Meet and #JoinARPAK

Women can’t be truly free if the society around them isn’t free. In this bonus episode, Elise talks about women's liberation being part of the larger fight against injustice and oppression.

The Anti-AI Journal Movement

This solo episode talks about two important things: 1) using imagination as a tool in nourishing your own ideas, and 2) letting yourself think in the age where something else (A.I.) can do the thinking for you. I invite you to join me in either Friend Factory: an imagination + storytelling workshop happening on April 18-19, and/or to start your own Anti-AI journal. KEEP CREATING.

Collective Mechanisms & Power of/to The People (feat. Elise)

You are allowed to be angry today. This episode features Elise. To her, the sink consists of functional parts and mechanisms that serve a purpose: to be a sink! We talk about how her sink is fueled by rage and empathy, the feeling of defeat coming from the unawareness of being exploited, and the collective effort to take down a system that was never designed for the majority of people. Plus - a very special announcement from UTSS and Friend Factory.
