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.

Parker Posey on Resilience, Reinvention and the Resonance of Art
<p>Dubbed "Indie Queen," <strong>Parker Posey</strong> embraces her position as outsider and her “undefinable” reputation. The themes of Posey’s recent projects underscore this outlier quality—as a cast member of the sci-fi series Lost in Space, and author of a memoir imagined as a conversation between the actress, and a stranger on an airplane,<i>You're on an Airplane: A Self Mythologizing Memoir</i>. In this episode, Parker shares with Susan and Todd how hardship sharpens resilience, compassion as courage, and losing oneself in the discovery of what you didn’t know you were looking for.</p><p><strong>Show Notes</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Youre-Airplane-Self-Mythologizing-Parker-Posey/dp/0735218196">You're on an Airplane: A Self-Mythologizing Memoir</a></p><p><a href="https://booksellersdocumentary.com/">The Bookseller</a></p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playhouse_90">Playhouse 90</a>,</p><p> </p>

Dario Calmese on Storytelling Across Creative Disciplines and Producing Work that Permeates History
<p><strong>Dario Calmese</strong> pivots between roles as artist, writer, director, and brand consultant with the unrepressed ease of a trained dancer—which he also is, among other capacities in a deeply varied creative skill set. In the fashion sector he is a frequent collaborator with the brand Pyer Moss and recently completed a history-making photo shoot. Together his creative ventures weave a story of Black excellence, Black beauty and Black wisdom. In this episode Dario tells hosts Susan and Todd about the many launching points of his multidimensional output—from academia and historic and present cultural appropriation within the fashion industry, to empathy and meditation—and intentionally working outside of the fashion system to learn the language of brands.</p><p><strong>Show Notes</strong></p><p><a href="http://www.dariocalmese.com/"><strong>Dario Calmese</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-pictures/lizzo-david-lachapelle-photography-940749/r1336_cov_lizzo_2000/">Lizzo by David LaChapelle</a></p><p><a href="https://www.vogue.co.uk/news/article/jamie-hawkesworth-july-2020-issue">Jamie Hawkesworth for <i>British Vogue</i></a></p>
