The Nonnative Creative Podcast

18 episodes

Nonnative Creative is an interview project featuring individuals pursuing creative work in either a) a country that is not their home country, and/or b) a language different from their mother tongue. How did they get started? What’s difficult about what they do? What excites them about their work? What have they learned? And how can we follow what they’re doing next? The project as a whole is an effort to help better connect people with different backgrounds through sharing passions and creativity. Weekly episodes share fresh perspectives on what it means to have more than one cultural identity. Download as a podcast or watch the episodes on the project YouTube channel.
