🎧New PODCAST alert 🤍
Zeva Bellel invited Seymour Projects Founder MELISSA UNGER on her podcast. You’ll find the episode description below; if you’re drawn to listening, we hope our conversation will be useful to you:
https://podcasts.apple.com/be/podcast/normalizing-the-ugly-icky-and-in-between-with-melissa-unger/id1689260929?i=1000643793021
--------
Our culture is fixated on growth and moving us out of any form of inertia. But this conversation with Melissa suggests there’s a lot to celebrate in the fallow, neutral space of a woman’s life, when a metamorphosis is happening out of view. And that the discomfort of moving through this in-between phase, especially for a life-long overachiever (like she is 💯), is worth it!

Highlights of the conversation include:

🔸Why our society pathologizes inertia
🔸Why the in-between feels so icky when you’re in it
🔸Moving from mind-over to body-driven intentions
🔸How capitalism perpetuates the feeling of “not enough”
🔸Identity shifts after moving home after a decade in France
🔸Why fallow is a fertile phase of invisible growth
🔸Embracing all emotions, like a full color palette
🔸How art and creativity impact personal growth
🔸The power of intentional spaces and neuroaesthetics
🔸The importance of feeling heard and understood

Happy New Year 2022! As Seymour Projects enters its second decade of service, we are excited to announce that as of yesterday our office/creative studio will be located at 36 Waverly near the Brooklyn Navy Yard. It’s a great building filled with many artists and innovators. While our NYC space will not be a public space, it will serve as an incubator for our ideas and will also support the flourishing of those in our community. Stay tuned throughout 2022 for new projects, collabs & fun surprises ! 🖤

COMMUNITY~ Great new project from former Seymour Projects Coordinator NORA LALLE - Pamplemousse Magazine!!

Nora says:
I’m excited to be launching a monthly periodical with the hope that subscribers will take a moment to pause and be present in the physical world. We’ve all spent too much time in front of the computer this year!

To start, the magazine will feature my own photography but it will likely evolve to focus on the work of other artists as well.

Join me in keeping print media alive! ~Nora
