    Exploring the Concept of NOW with Aki Goto

    We are thrilled to continue our latest Future of Women Podcast series! In this four-part series, our host Momoko Nakamura takes us around the world to speak with brilliant and creative Japanese women. Today, on our third episode in the series, Momoko speaks with Aki Goto about exploring the concept of NOW through a variety of mediums, including films, clothes, performance, music, painting, and drawing. This episode was recorded on November 23, 2021. Aki Goto is currently based in Hudson Valley, New York. When Goto was still based in Tokyo in 2008, she befriended the artist / fashion designer Susan Cianciolo and began working with her, going back and forth between Tokyo and New York. She officially moved her base to New York in 2009 and began her own art projects in 2010. After one year of traveling countrysides in the US and Japan in 2010, she grew interested in permaculture and conceptualized the core of her artwork as always “being conscious of NOW”. She moved her base upstate in 2012, and worked on her daily art projects based on the concept of “NOW” while being surrounded by nature and studying herbalism. Since her concept surrounded absolute trust in the universe, Goto naturally became a multimedia experimental artist, changing media depending on circumstances, natural environments, and emotional states to harmonize with her NOW. Goto's media include films, clothes, performance, music, painting, drawing, and more. Momoko Nakamura is a cultural conservationist and storyteller, sharing the Japanese art of regenerative living with the world. She roves the Japanese countryside, exploring wisdoms imparted by professionals across the archipelago like ceramists, geologists, farmers, repairers, fermenters, and grandmas.

Momoko hosts the podcast Roots to Fruit, is author of Plant-based Tokyo, and can also be found in the Netflix original series Waffles + Mochi.

In this new four-part series, our host Momoko Nakamura takes us around the world to speak with brilliant and creative Japanese women.  Today, on our first episode in the series, Momoko speaks with Meg Nakagawa about creating space for conversations about mental health in Japanese culture. Meg grew up between Japan and the US with her Japanese mother and South African father. This often left her questioning her identity and began to impact her mental health. Struggling with depression, she realized there was a lack of mental health conversations and resources published in Japanese. She started the social media platform Blossom (https://www.instagram.com/blossomtheproject) to foster these conversations. The community has grown to 71K and talks about topics ranging from abortion and women's rights to post-partum depression to colorism and the skin whitening industry in Asia. Meg Nakagawa is the founder of Blossom the Project, a social media platform that focuses on mental health and social justice. She is currently a senior at New York University in Abu Dhabi where she studies political science. Upon graduating she will be attending law school where she will be studying police reform and intends to work in mental health courts. Momoko Nakamura is a cultural conservationist and storyteller, sharing the Japanese art of regenerative living with the world. She is often found roving the Japanese countryside in search of wisdoms that live within the organic fabric of people like grandmas, ceramists, farmers, and geologists. Momoko's community education programs, Japan Food Study and Microseasonal Journaling, are intended to navigate us to a more connected relationship with our inner voice, our ancestral heritage, and the natural world that is around us and within us. Not to mention, think about and talk about delicious things! Momoko hosts the podcast Roots to Fruit, is author of Plant-based Tokyo, and can also be found in the Netflix original series Waffles + Mochi.

  7. Reclaiming Textiles and Hard-to-Find Fabrics with Atelier Saucier's Nikki Reed and Staci Inspektor

    Reclaiming Textiles and Hard-to-Find Fabrics with Atelier Saucier's Nikki Reed and Staci Inspektor

    Today, Azora is speaking with Nikki Reed and Staci Inspektor. With backgrounds in the food + fashion industries, Atelier Saucier co-founders (and best friends) Nikki and Staci set out to combine their varied experiences and shared passion for hosting; and introduce a fresh, elevated perspective to all things table linens. Atelier Saucier is a modern tablescape design house for sustainable + customizable linens. Their brand ethos is to be eco. The planet is their priority. All of their linens are sustainably-sourced, rescued, repurposed and locally made in Downtown Los Angeles. They hand-pick surplus, premium fabrics so that no two styles of ‘kins are alike. Their small batch production process ensures no excess inventory or waste. ATELIER SAUCIER is where entertaining, dining and design intersect. This episode is part of our four-part series all about sustainable design, curated and hosted by Azora Zoe Paknad of Goldune. On this new FUTURE OF WOMEN Podcast series, Azora speaks with designers, journalists, and agroforestry entrepreneurs about sourcing products and developing supply chains in a way that respects the environment and communities that create them. NIKKI REED Never interested in playing dolls or dress up, rather looking to play “restaurant”, Nikki knew from a very young age that hospitality + business were in her future. After graduating from Cornell University’s Hotel Administration School, she worked with Starwood Hotels and the Gramercy Park Hotel, parlaying that into a 7 year stint at the Hillstone Restaurant Group managing their restaurant operations in NYC, LA and AZ. With a successful hospitality career under her belt, Nikki joined New School, a progressive restaurant consulting firm and built a bench of high-profile clients. Sensing an industry need for elevated entertaining accoutrements and bespoke tablescapes, Nikki channeled her experience into building a brand of her own and thus, ATELIER SAUCIER was born. STACI INSPEKTOR Arts + crafts were Staci’s passions as a child, so when her grandmother bought her a Husqvarna sewing machine at age 9, it was a harbinger of designs to come. Staci graduated from UC Davis Fashion Design School and quickly made a name for herself working with patternmakers and designing womenswear, swimwear + footwear for an LA-based fashion house. She gained first-hand experience in sourcing and production of materials and soon her love of design seamlessly transitioned her career in the direction of interiors and decor. Eager to blend her love of textiles with well-appointed home accessories, she co-founded ATELIER SAUCIER with the intention of creating meaningful and modern tabletop designs.
