Hey, welcome to another bonus episode of the Daring Creativity Podcast.
I'm back to unpack some of the gems from this week's conversation, pulling out those moments that deserve a second look and dig deeper in what makes them special.
This week, I spoke to Murugaya, who is a London-based, multidisciplinary artist trained in architecture, working across illustration, fine art, and design.
In our conversation, we talked about following the fun, the danger of chase and reward, and why the most personal thing you can make is always the most powerful.
The episode, published a few days ago, was titled Dare to Find Radical Empathy for People Around You.
And even though we mostly tried to put focus on Murugaya's upcoming exhibition project, we've uncovered many sides to his artistry and humility.
If you haven't checked out the full episode, let me share with you these four standout moments.
I've decided to pick out this moment because it's kind of so easy to miss in a conversation, but it's so important to the whole narrative.
Because when you think about it, the element of joy, and it kind of takes me back to my conversation with PJ Richardson that we recorded at our festival, is the element of joy and the contentment with what you're making that actually creating something which is personal
feels really good because we've been conditioned to believe that ambitions requires hunger and then the big results often would demand big expectations.
But Murugaya kind of blowed that apart because when he sent his email to Quentin Blake Center, it wasn't a calculated career move.
It just came from a place of genuine contentment.
He was making the work and was already in motion, already doing the work, already satisfied with what he was making.
And this makes him sound grounded exactly in the way that made this opportunity possible because he wasn't desperate, let's be honest.
He was just curious of where he might go.
So it makes you think that when you're not attached to the outcome, you move freely.
