I am so excited to invite on as my guest,Callie Curry, also known as the street artist Swoon, to discuss her work, and how she finds inspiration in some of the environmental disasters of our time. As an activist and community organizer, I am inspired by her work, and it’s relevance in the context of global warming, climate change, feminism and the need for collaboration and community. Please join me on Thursday, at 10am, as I interview Callie, and learn a little bit more about the many projects she is involved with and her inspirations.
