WHAT’S THE F’N POINT? Part 2: The Power of Creativity in a F’d Up World. Dawinder Bansal

What's the f'n point? Is a two-part special podcast in response to the understandable feeling of futility in the creative industry. There's a lot to worry about in the world and when monster after monster keeps stomping over the horizon, 'What's the f'n' point?' is a very valid question.In part 2, British producer and artist Dawinder Bansal joins me to lay out a powerful showcase of exploring sensitive and often misunderstood topics in a subtle and inclusive way. From the 1st generation of British born, South Asian community, Dawinder uses the personal and uses theatre, film, audio and other media to tell stories in a way that invites the audience to get up close and personal, to experience it for themselves. We get deep into Jambo Cinema, Asian Women and Cars: The Road to Independence and The Making of a South Asian Wedding, the responses and why it is crucial, during these times, that they provide an interesting, entertaining space for respectful debate and discourse.The show is kindly supported by Illustration X and The Association of IllustratorsListen on Spotify, Google Podcasts, iTunes, Stitcher and more, or at http://soundcloud.com/arrestallmimicshttps://www.dawinderbansal.com/https://twitter.com/dawinderbansal?lang=enhttps://www.instagram.com/dawinderbansal/?hl=en

WHAT’S THE F’N POINT?! Part 1: Creativity in a F’ed up world. Craig Oldham.

What's the f'n point? Is a two-part special podcast in response to the understandable feeling of futility in the creative industry. There's a lot to worry about in the world and when monster after monster keeps stomping over the horizon, 'What's the f'n' point?' is a very valid question.In part one, Craig Oldham joins Ben Tallon to discuss his own insecurities and let us in on some spellbinding, vital projects. Craig explains the importance of understanding that we are all a small part of a bigger whole, with limited, but important influence. With passion, drawing upon the personal and wonder, that influence can become unlimited.Detailing In Loving Memory of Work, his stunning book on the 1984/85 miners' strike and his They Live 'epiphany editions' book, Craig illustrates the unpredictable ways meaningful design can change, enliven and unite in troubled times.Next week, in part 2, I'm joined by artist Dawinder Bansal who picks up the baton and goes deep into her South Asian heritage. She shows why inclusivity and subtlety in our activism can be just as powerful as any protest or placard.
