Description
Episode 46 of ‘All About Art’: Sustainability in Art with Caitlin Southwick, Founder of Ki Culture In this episode, I sat down with the founder of Ki Culture, Caitlin Southwick. Ki Culture is an international non-profit working to unite culture and sustainability. They use “culture” as an all-inclusive term - from visual arts to heritage to performing arts, and that sustainability is used in a wide sense of the word- encompassing all three pillars, environmental, social, and economic. The company aims to redesign systems and rethink how and what we do to find solutions that will be better for the people, better for the culture, and better for the planet. Listen on to hear me ask Caitlin about founding a nonprofit and the process of building it from the ground up. We talk about how important sustainability is and how we can do better in the arts sector. We also touch on finances and important projects Ki Culture is spearheading, along with stories about how she travels internationally in a sustainable way - and how that has led to some strange adventures! Thank you to Caitlin for coming on and to Ki Culture for the collaboration.
