MOUTHWASH MOUTHWASH

Wrapping up the last episode of Season 3, the MOUTHWASH Team sits down with Jared Hogan and Christian Schultz; the dynamic-duo that makes up Good. Podcast. With no real agenda, we spent our time talking about films, what it means to run a podcast, and how we've grown creatively.

Cliqua is the directorial duo made up of Raul Sanchez and Pasqual Gutierrez. Working with artists like Bad Bunny and Rosalia, we sat down and talked with them about their roots, where they’re drawing inspiration from, and how they’re continuing to push their creative limits.

In this episode of the MOUTHWASH Podcast, we sit down with our long-time friend: Tori Hinn. Tori is a Graphic Designer and Creative Director of Figma. In the past, she’s had her hands in projects at Red Antler and Google Creative Lab.

Tori talks to us about how the internet has formed many of her relationships, why she doesn’t tweet about graphic design, and Women of Graphic Design, which has been an ongoing project in effort to close one of the largest gaps in the industry. Tori loves people first and foremost. Everything else comes after that.

Jermaine Craig is a designer of systems and experiences. In the past he’s created A-Mood, a simple way to curate and gather references. Other Shapes, minimal one-page website templates for creative workers and teams. And right now he’s building Kwanda, a modern collection pot for black communities.

Kwanda is a non-profit company that is dedicated to improving the quality of life for these communities through different projects that are organically formed through the discussion amongst its members. Jermaine talks with us about the role design plays in forming these dialogues and the importance of removing obstacles for more diverse solutions to shine on our modern-day problems.

We spent some time chatting with DP Andrew Palermo. Andrew has had his hands on many projects over this last decade, from Romantic Dramas such as '6 Years', to ethereal pieces such as 'A Ghost Story'. More recently, Andrew is wrapping up on 'The Green Knight', set to release later this year. Andrew took some time to explain how he fell into filmmaking, his inspirations, and how we can continue to break down barriers to tell more interesting stories.

Carmen Winant is a practicing artist, a professor at The Ohio State University, and the Mother of two sons. Her work involves the appropriation of documentation as a means to explore Feminine Studies. Carmen educates us on the power of the found image, how bravery plays a role in artistry, and how parenting aligns with her current practice.
