The Artsy Dudes Podcast

Get ready to reimagine the power of community gatherings as we sit down with Leor Rotchild, an expert in sustainability consulting for the events industry. This episode promises to revolutionize your understanding of event planning, intertwining environmental responsibility with a deep reflection on why we come together. Leor guides us through the labyrinth of challenges faced by event planners and provides a beacon of hope for those endeavoring to create sustainable and inclusive experiences. His wisdom is not merely about waste reduction; It’s a call to align our celebrations with our deepest values.
As the conversation unfolds, we're joined by Abigail Monarrez from the “RU Home Yet Collective” who brings an artistic and preformative twist to the sustainability narrative. Through her ecological take to the exploration of art, we explore the transformational capacity of art in public spaces, and how creativity with repurposed materials can sculpt a more conscientious approach to climate change. This dialogue isn't just about what's on the canvas; it's about painting a future where community engagement, environmentalism, and artistic expression converge into a masterpiece of collective responsibility.
Wrapping up this thought-provoking journey, we are joined by Nyx Orr, the other half to the brilliant art and performance group “RU home yet collective” whom together create the team of Squirl and Magpie. We delve into the intimate stories behind the "RU Home Yet" collective and their upcoming community art projects. Abby's partnership with Nyx at the Festival of Animated Objects and their engagement with audiences at the Folk Fest highlight the undeniable connection between art, sustainability, and the personal quest for home. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for those who seek to weave the threads of environmental stewardship into the rich tapestry of your owns community's narrative.
