PinkSofaConversations Alicia Roy

So excited to have a conversation with Anna Bowman, videographer and artist, she talks to us on how this unique time is forcing her to rethink the way we capture movie. Normally behind the lens, we are really lucky to have Anna Bowman in the show sharing her work in process with us.   As she is saying, "I am celebrating what they do" , we here at the Pink Sofa Conversation celebrate her and her work.

Books have been an anchor to escape reality! And under this umbrella do we start a lovely pink sofa conversation with a long time friend, Jorge, a writer and teacher. During this difficult time teachers have been heroes - or shall we say that we have all finally seen how crucial they are to our society.   He is bringing light and safety to our kids with his passion for reading and writing. Jorge is an inspiration for sure! 

We have worked together years ago- I did illustrate some of his poems as he allowed me to give shape to the ideas he had captured on ink. But also, life as it does unfold in very complex ways, had a common fate reserved for us.   

We have both lost our mothers.   

One of the short stories we worked together was about that exact event - which had not happen at that time, we knew it would happen as its the law of nature but we did not know it would happen unnaturally painfully sudden. Looking back at that piece now, it resonates in ways that scratches  emotions and definitely touches home.

Joanne Lockwood, Inclusion & Belonging Specialist, sits down with us to discuss inclusion in the workplace. How can we change the culture - expand the culture in fact - include different ways of working and collaborating but basing our interactions on our values and mission as an organisation.   Learn more from Jo in this video!  https://seechangehappen.co.uk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/jolockwood/ https://joannelockwood.me/ https://twitter.com/jo_lockwood1965

My childhood friend Eloísa Díaz sits down with us on the Pink Sofa to share her story: how to go from an "insufferable child" to a novelist. We will be able to read "Repentance" in 2021 and discover the plot between her characters in English, Spanish, German, Italian and/or French.   Check out the full interview and find out more about how she sees the cycles of life, the nativity of humankind and how this new digital world seems to be impacting - or not- her passions for paper printed books.   For those fans, believe it or not but this millennial has no twitter for now, so in the in meantime while 2021 comes and brings her novel, you can link with her here https://www.instagram.com/wonderfuleloisa

Fast fashion is not ethical, we all know that, but we still consume it! Why? I guess, same as with COVID19, the problem seemed to be far away, somewhere in China. And the same happens with non-sustainable fashion.  This is about to change, as most crises the change will come with a financial impact. I have been speaking with artists, creative minds, kick-ass entrepreneurs and fashion designers to think of future landscapes and how the world we know could – and actually should - change. We feel this is an opportunity to reset and change those dynamics we know are toxic - emotionally and environmentally - hence why I am exploring potential trends post-COVID19 in the fashion industry!  Consumer will move from high volume to high quality, or maybe not!  Read the full article here: https://www.linkedin.com/post/edit/6651856706328506369/
