017: "This is to be a POSITIVE FORCE in the world" - Emily Herr + Sarah Apple // Mural Artists - Girls Girls Girls Tour
Care + Suz are so excited to share the women behind the Girls Girls Girls extravaganza taking over #RVA and beyond. This week we chat with the Girls ^3 masterminds, Emily Herr + Sarah Apple, who took a blank wall inspired by Strip Signs and are turning one into many from Richmond to Burlington, VT via an epic adventure in a 3500 lb. commercial vehicle. Relying on the kindness of strangers, these mural painters and illustrators are sharing the celebration of girls + women to be a "positive force in the world." Listen to the layers of this project that are uncovered as Emily and Sarah begin to take steps to explore their intention to normalize and represent all images of women up and down the East Coast.
Gems in this episode include a comparison of Emily's mobile art studio, or "adventure machine," to the van in the television show Breaking Bad and Caroline's "baby killing" metaphor regarding the creative process. On a more biz related note - this episode is all about the process - that uncomfortable space of trial and error, exploration and experimentation. We touch over sponsorships, the differentiation between a sign and a mural, exemplifying the purposeful pivot, and the magical idea generators - the moral support of beer + coffee.
These girls are awesome and creating community and connection around the inspiring murals showcasing all kinds of girls like you and us! They vulnerably share their craft and dreams and allow you to be a part of their journey. Plus, find out -- is this a feminist thing? Or isn't it? TBD! Thanks for listening in!
