Fortnightly findings from the Editor in Chief.
Hello,
Welcome to Hamish’s Fortnightly Findings. Its been a few Newsletters since I did this style, based on the ‘Magazine’ itself as opposed to a Newsletter only affair.
Its short n sweet this week:
Here are a few links to things I have been reading, watching or been inspired by over the last few weeks:
A Blog I recommend checking out:
Maria Popova’s – ‘ Brain Pickings’.
In her words it is a: ‘one-woman labor of love. It is an inquiry into what it means to live a decent, substantive, rewarding life, and a record of my own becoming as a person — intellectually, creatively, spiritually — drawn from my extended marginalia on the search for meaning across literature, science, art, philosophy, and the various other tentacles of human thought and feeling’.
Favourite Instagram discovery:
The awesome yet creepy work of Italian painter and body painter Matteo Arfanotti – @matteoarfanotti
Revisited this:
Charlie Chaplin Talks! Scene out of The Great Dictator. Still so relevant!
Found this on Facebook:
A great short doco from ABC ARTs on the super inspiring and multi talented Maude Davey.
Been Listening too:
I can’t remember how we discovered this but the kids are hooked, its on high rotation in the car. First time I’ve checked the video though whilst making this post – its sweet!
Parov Stelar – Mambo Rap
Dancer: Fik-Shun Stegall
And on that note,
As always make sure you get off your computer, check out live shows and try and take a moment to check in with yourself and each other in real life,
Peace & respect,
Hamish
