Chasing sunsets – creativity during lockdown

The podcast is back and this week we introduce a story from Ilze. She tells how her creativity flourished during the first lockdown, and, with lockdown number 2 coming to the UK and many European countries, we thought this would be a timely reminder.

Amidst the confusion and uncertainty, Ilze also found joy in creating and expressing herself.

The podcast has a different structure, as it incorporates an interview I held with Ilze on my Instagram account.

We spoke about the Planet Project – the community project I ran on the 22nd of April as a dedication towards our Planet. That project involved over 300 creatives, virtually holding hands around the Earth.

We also discussed Ilze’s new film, Tellus. Based on the Planet Project, with words from over 30 creatives, voices offered by the Planet Project participants and music by Vicky, this poetic film is a beautiful dedication to the Earth. Find out more on the podcast and on Ilze’s website.

I really enjoyed speaking with Ilze about how her creativity bloomed during lockdown and about the inspirational film she has put together, as wonderful legagy to the Planet Project.
