Callie is a contemporary artist and filmmaker who became widely known as the first woman to gain large-scale recognition in the male-dominated world of street art. Her work can be frequently seen in streets worldwide and has also been showcased in renowned art institutions.Callie is also the founder of the Heliotrope Foundation which helps communities respond and heal after natural disasters and other urgent social crisis. They believe that the creative process can and should be part of how we heal, rebuild, and move forward.“As an artist, I'm somebody who loves to look at a situation and go, ‘really, are you sure’? And then start digging into it and being like, how can this be more just or more fun or more ridiculous or more beautiful or more cooperative? I often find a way to use creativity to go into a situation like that and like turn the soil and see what's needed”.Find out more:www.swoonstudio.org https://www.heliotropefoundation.org https://www.instagram.com/swoonhq To view the episode page with a summary of the interview, links to social media and projects mentioned, go to https://ourwonder.space/episodes/_135 🎧 To listen to the previous 134 Wonderspace editions go to https://ourwonder.space/episodes --------------Re-wonder: https://asknature.org/strategy/nest-kept-warm/ --------------More about Wonderspace: https://ourwonder.space Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBUt53ifgsf4Hu9tQTWjEmA/videos Facebook: http://facebook.com/ourwonderspace Instagram: http://instagram.com/ourwonderspace Twitter: https://twitter.com/ourwonderspace LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/our-wonderspace/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ourwonderspace ---------------Music: https://theade.me

This week on the Wonderspace Podcast we ask our six questions to Jacqueline Lim. A strategist and certified coach focused on advancing equity and a regenerative future for all. Jacq is currently an Associate with the Finance Innovation Lab and has recently worked with clients such as Natwest Bank, Partners for a New Economy and A Blueprint for Better Business."I found myself in 2019 really immersed in so many questions about self and about my work. Questions like, 'What really is a systems change?' 'How do systems actually change?' And crucially, ‘What's mine to do in systems change?' I've gathered so many answers since that time, one of the answers being systems change is actually deeply personal. It's not just about the outward change."In her story of hopefulness Jacq promotes the work of Possible Futures who are starting their next cohort. Intro to Decolonial Sustainability course. One of the facilitators is one of our previous guests on WS Lorraine B Smith.

He is also the Founder and President of the Possibility Studies Network which brings together academics, researchers and practitioners dedicated to the study of human possibility. Topics include creativity, imagination, innovation and of course wonder which is the title of one of Vlad’s books.“What motivates me is this fascination with the possible, with what is possible in our lives and the lives of others.

This week on the Wonderspace Podcast, we ask our six questions to Jacky Youldon, the Founder and Director of RunningSpace, whose mission is to champion life and combat suicide, one step at a time. Jacky struggled with suicidal thoughts following a lifetime of self-harm and eventually attempted to take her own life. From this experience, RunningSpace was born, and in 2019, Jacky was awarded the BBC Unsung Sporting Hero award for her life-saving running groups."A friend said to me, 'When you run, you're the pioneer of the prevention of suicide.' I thought that was ridiculous, and I cried and asked what I should do about that. 'Just start running,' she said, 'and people will follow you.’”More info: www.runningspace.org Jacky also promotes the National Suicide Prevention Alliance which has 1,800 members. https://nspa.org.uk To view the episode page with a summary of the interview, links to social media and projects mentioned, go to https://ourwonder.space/episodes/_132 🎧 To listen to the previous 131 Wonderspace editions go to https://ourwonder.space/episodes --------------Re-wonder: https://asknature.org/strategy/bacterial-consortium-suppresses-pathogens/ --------------More about Wonderspace: https://ourwonder.space Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBUt53ifgsf4Hu9tQTWjEmA/videos Facebook: http://facebook.com/ourwonderspace Instagram: http://instagram.com/ourwonderspace Twitter: https://twitter.com/ourwonderspace LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/our-wonderspace/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ourwonderspace ---------------Music: https://theade.me
