A NEW KIND OF PORTRAIT
Each episode is a portrait, created through the art of open conversation, where trust is always the signature. Through long- form interview we discover in each interviewee, who they are now, the journey to making that happen, and what all that means for the person, the artist and the future.
We share stories that provide real artist insight and new moments of revelation for our guests. Each episode adds a little piece to the jigsaw of the bigger story; how to become self-aware, self-actualised and self-accepted.
