Art Is A Verb

31

In this pivotal moment, COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter movement have catalyzed a much-needed reckoning across creative industries, and removed us from our former lives to examine how and why we make work. It is clear that in order to survive and build a sustainable future, we must transform our existing systems, reimagine the status quo, and support each other across disciplines. At Barrett Barrera Projects, we believe that ART IS A VERB — it’s the ongoing process of re-constructing our world, and creatives are the harbingers of a new reality, with the ability to catalyze real change. Join your co-hosts Susan Barrett and Todd Thomas as we navigate these new circumstances with a collaborative intention, connecting with thought leaders and multidisciplinary creatives for intimate conversations about how we can use this unprecedented moment to chart the way forward toward a better, more sustainable, and equitable future for us all.

    Let’s hit a home run
    Art is a Verb is about now- Real stories /real life. Interviews with compelling individuals with a story to share that make you listen and honestly , make you feel a part of the big picture of life and real feeling. Art is a Verb is concise and you want the episodes to go on a bit longer but Susan & Todd cover it seamlessly.
