ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Crafting Human celebrates the creative brilliance of humans and the value of the soulful human touch expressed in the process of making, building and creating. Each week we have conversations with global creatives, makers, artisans, craftsmen, designers and storytellers, and we discuss how their work creates meaningful connections, distinctly shapes cultures and transforms communities & ecosystems. Crafting Human is a quiet resistance to the values of the industrial mindset that erode and devalue humans in the creative process. Through each guest's stories and creative expressions, we restore attention to what cannot be automated: the human hand, the human process, and the human story, which reflect our identity and values, and shape our experiences. We are reclaiming agency, the value of our humanity and the priceless beauty of the "slow" work made with intention and soul.
