Creativity Calls https://creativitycalls.podbean.com How often do you phone your friends? If you’re like me, not as often as I’d like. In our Instagram era where a “like” is a stand-in for “hello,” telephoning feels antiquated. Now, months into quarantine, I’m rethinking the ways I connect. Isolation induces big questions. How do we find purpose in solitude? Can creativity provide answers? Join me as I call up my friends who are artists, poets, musicians, cartoonists, architects and anthropologists — all finding meaning in their private corner of the world. Together we investigate creative questions, decisively or uncertainly— but always catching up at the end of each call.
