Growing up in the freezing landscapes of Yakutia, Elena developed a deep bond with nature that continues to guide her artistic vision. She was inspired by a British artist who makes nature installations and for her project she reimagined the legend-Bull of Cold (a figure in Yakutian folklore), to build these striking ice installations, most notably a seven-ton ice sculpture placed in the desert, symbolizing the tension between heat, cold, loss, renewal and climate change. Elena shares her creative journey, the challenges of working with melting ice, and how art can spark conversations about climate change. A thoughtful, inspiring story of culture, courage, and creativity.

Richard also takes us back to the days of New World Amusement Park, owned by the Shaw Brothers, where bumper cars, shooting galleries, and open-air cinemas brought joy to many.


Through his storytelling, Richard beautifully captures the warmth, resilience, and everyday magic of Singapore’s past.

Here, the tactile memory of childhood mud meets the refined skill of a master artisan. Each surface is a landscape of subtle textures and nuanced colors, where simple forms hold the quiet power of ancient artifacts.

After a decade of disconnect and a year locked down in a pandemic, the chasm between them felt too wide to cross. The life they had built together was over.

Once a pre-med student, a chance phone call landed him on a film set and he never looked back.

 

Over a career spanning three decades, John has directed music videos for Grammy-winning artists, produced award-winning films like “Red All Over” and “The Tuskegee Airmen Project,” and founded Londyn Town Pictures, inspired by his daughter. But what sets his work apart isn’t just the credits, it’s his unwavering commitment to telling stories that push for change. Whether he’s exploring gun violence, mental health, or lost chapters of Black history, John’s films are rooted in truth, compassion, and the belief that cinema should start hard conversations.

 

Dive into a conversation about creative detours, building legacy, and why the most powerful stories come from lived experience.

He never made it. Instead, he crossed the Middle East, rode through the Sahara, hitched a yacht ride, and ended up in Argentina.


44 years later, he picked up where he left off—riding the same bike across the world. But this time, the obstacles were bigger: age, political unrest, and a Parkinson’s diagnosis.


Beyond adventure, Chris has spent 40 years in business across retail, property, health, and IT. He’s also a best-selling author and a fighter, reclaiming his businesses after banks placed them in receivership.


In this episode, Chris shares:

- The extreme highs and lows of his two-year journey

- How travel shaped his business mindset

- His legal battle to reclaim his company

- Why he refuses to let age or illness slow him down

]]> Re-living Japanese Aesthetics with Cristina Dominguez Re-living Japanese Aesthetics with Cristina Dominguez Thu, 20 Apr 2023 16:00:21 GMT 36:31 64414a14f87e990011b6d5a4 false http://www.meltingpotcollection.com 64414a14f87e990011b6d5a4 5e7dccbbae7822dd4182e899 re-living-japanese-aesthetics-with-cristina-dominguez Impact of Visual Arts series full 15 9 Episode 9 of our series Impact of Visual Arts features a conversation with Cristina Dominguez, a mother of two who works as an educational counsellor and teaches Sumi-e painting. 


Sumi-e, or Japanese ink painting, is the essence of Japanese aesthetics. Sumi-e conveys the everlasting beauty and intricacy of the natural world using just black ink and carefully maintained white space.


Taller Balam is a studio and gallery where Cristina and other artists market their works and share their own artistic style with the world.

Stay tuned for Cristina's thoughts on Sumi-e art in the next episode with our host Payal Nayar.


Cristina Dominguez is a Sumi-e artist. She enjoys developing and recreating Japanese aesthetics that developed during the Tang Dynasty of China. Chinese Zen Buddhist monks brought the contemplative brush painting method to Japan, where it was modified to the Japanese style and named Sumi-e.

"My proposals are not strictly artistic," Cristina explains, "I'm actually looking to create a framework where people can rest, rest, and reconnect by creating."

Taller Balam hosts a workshop where people may sign up for Sumi-e classes taught by her and learn their methods first hand. 


Tune in as she shares her thoughts on her classes, exhibits, and, in particular, Sumi-e with our host Paya Nayar.

Lavender specialises in conceptual photography and her artwork is an expression of her awareness of the subtle nuances around her. Lavender's goal is to concentrate on these encounters, to paint a picture that will inspire more reflection, and to let the passing of time leave behind signs of her mortality.


Listen to know about her journey from being a visual artist to having her own feature film.

Lavender likes getting to know individuals and taking beautiful photos of them. Her cheerful demeanour usually puts the subject at ease, enabling them to express their most distinctive and best selves in her pictures. Chang originally gained recognition as an award-winning photographer, showing her work in countries including China, Malaysia, and Singapore. She was interested in concepts of time and mortality.


Chang, a driven artist, has never shied away from a conceptual challenge or stopped developing. She initially donned the cinematographer's cap in 2018, when she joined filmmaker Clang's first film, Their Remaining Journey.

Our host Payal is in conversation with Lavender as she talks about her very intriguing life and her most recent collaborative effort “Absent Smile” with John Clang being screened at the 33rd SGIFF.

The journey Daniyar has taken into the world of film has been quite unique. Daniyar, who was unable to join the drama school right out of high school, first chose to study nuclear physics at a nearby college. He later quit in his second year of college to get an aerospace engineering degree.

Daniyar continued to pursue his artistic passion while actively attending local film auditions. Listen to the episode to know how he beautifully led his journey to live his dream of becoming an actor. He grew up in Kazakhstan in a family of teachers. After five years in the United States, he earned his aerospace engineering degree at Arizona State University and returned to his homeland.


Daniyar continued to actively participate in local film auditions while attempting to support himself as an engineer. At the age of 27, Daniyar finally landed his first acting role. Daniyar was successful in a variety of genres and dominated the local box office, but a new chapter began when he met the most distinctive Kazakh director, Adilkhan Yerzhanov. "A dark-dark man" was chosen for the official selection in San Sebastian and received an APSA award, and "Goliath" was chosen for the Venice edition of 2022. One of Daniyar's most recent projects was playing the lead in the Cannes-premiered French miniseries "Infiniti."


Catch our host Payal in conversation with Daniyar Alshinov as he walks us through the perks and challenges on the road of pursuing.

Daniyar's films Goliath and Assault will be screened at the 33rd edition of SGIFF.

Omar Masroor is owner and founder of the Aracosia group that serves authentic Afghan cuisine inspired by his roots in The District of Columbia, USA.

The group has three award-winning Afghan restaurants in the D.C. area.

Omar is proud to serve up old family recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. They use quality ingredients and an array of spices and fresh herbs, Afghan Bistro, Bistro Aracosia and Aracosia McLean have something for everyone's taste.

Omar believes in providing traditional Afghan hospitality, educating and promoting the food and culture of his people. The three restaurants give the diners an opportunity to get a glimpse of the era in Afghanistan which is now sadly forgotten.

Her work is characterised by strong leadership, inclusivity, deep stakeholder engagement and a focus on creating outcomes which not only satisfy but exceed her clients’ requirements, surprising and delighting in equal measure.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Art History and has worked for some of the top art institutions and collectors in the world including The British Museum. Since returning to Australia from London some years ago, Emilya has become a key contributor to the NSW arts scene, as her advisory committee memberships overleaf attest.

Her vision for Art Pharmacy, both through its consulting arm and its online gallery, is to bring artists and artworks closer to the community. Whether that’s curating an art strategy for a large corporation to enhance the daily working lives of its staff, or activating a public space for a local government to enhance the lives of the people who live and work in that area, her initial focus is on understanding what story these communities want to tell, to see, and to hear. 

Emilya’s passion for the role of art in place-making is also evident through her second business, Culture Scouts.  She might be leading a long-term Sydney resident on a rediscovery of their home town, or a tourist seeking another perspective on harbour city, but her goal will be the same: telling the story of the city through its arts and culture. It is this career-long vision which she will bring to this exciting project.

In 2009, Saurabh became a fellow with Teach For India. During his fellowship, he taught in a municipal school in Mumbai where he found the disparity in the opportunities available for children coming from low-income communities and from wealthy neighborhoods was starkly prevalent. Saurabh was struck by the thought of opening his own school. 


It was then that an opportunity to start a secondary school opened up in Pune.

During his time as the School Leader, he took three batches of students through the SSC exams with a 100% pass rate.

The skillful mastery she exhibits - in particular, with her handcrafted flowers - is just incredible. However, before dedicating herself to ceramics, Tania worked as an Architect and Urban Designer. For many years, she designed townships as well as slum redevelopment projects around the world. After her decision to pursue her passion for ceramics, Tania began her training at NAFA studying under the esteemed Singaporean master potter, Lim Kim Hui. 

 

In 2011, she traveled to Japan to study the intricate traditional art of flower making at the Tokyo Deco Clay Academy before going to France to study casting under renowned ceramicist Sasha Wardell. With this knowledge and exposure, Tania then opened her own studio in 2015.

 

 

Tania's unique background has helped her combine her techniques and design sensibilities to seamlessly intertwine both East and West to create designs that appeal to all walks of life. As a teacher, Tania encourages her students to follow their own path, to develop their own unique personal aesthetic and to express themselves through each piece they create. Padme Hum Studio and the unique work it produces is a testament to what can be achieved when you follow your passion and work from the heart.

Canvs has built a foundational studio of independent senior designers they call Canvs Club, a model that has allowed Canvs to completely rethink the way the modern design agency works. As Club, Canvs manages multiple distributed design teams and works with them to fulfil projects with some of the most important names in the industry. Canvs’ vision is to bring quality digital design to every firm in India, no matter their size. To achieve that, Canvs has recently launched a unique Design program called Access that allows small startups and teams to work with senior designers within an affordable scope. With Access, Canvs broke the mould of the incumbent agency-client dynamic and moved towards a simplified, results-oriented, time-limited relationship between firms that serves the need of both sides, skills and its demands. 

Being a product designer himself, Debprotim personally steers many of Club’s projects himself. At Canvs he is continuously testing methods to break the existent baggage in the industry by adopting fresher business models and products. He believes to really make an impact in Design, we need to start empowering non-designers with its immediate benefits. Aside from running Canvs, Debprotim takes a deep interest in the bleeding-edge tech of machine intelligence. And although he claims he is not much of a reader, when he does read he likes to stick to non-fiction and scientific literature, with a strong exception to the book The Martian, which he claims to have thrice.

That’s what her cooking classes in New York City are about: recapturing the sense of fun and discovery that’s still possible in home cooking, if you open yourself up to it.

It makes much more sense to throw together something easy and accessible, finding inspiration in everything from fresh farmer’s market, fresh strawberry, ice-pops (or ice-lollies) to Israeli breakfasts, to that one episode of Ugly Delicious you caught on Netflix, to whatever you have lying around in the pantry.

She says this as someone who graduated from the French Culinary Institute, has appeared in the New York Times and on Food Network’s Rewrappe but also as a mom: fussing over an authentic, perfectly-executed biryani counts for nothing when you only have 15 minutes to prepare dinner between taekwondo practice and mediating fights over Fortnite. 

Currently Saira lives in New York City, and like so many people here, her story stretches far beyond the grid of Manhattan. She grew up in a London suburb to a Punjabi family who lived by a simple belief that family dinners can be spontaneous, sometimes-messy, and always-delicious.

From London she moved on to Italy, France, and eventually New York, deepening and adding layers to her approach to food at every step of the journey.
