Vahap Avsar - episode 11

Published: Feb. 14, 2018, 9:32 p.m.

Vahap and his partner Lexy created the first brand identified with Brooklyn - Brooklyn Industries - way back in 1997. But Vahap doesn’t think of himself as a business guy, he's an artist whose works are shown in galleries and museums around the world. Vahap’s fascinating story begins in his family’s ancient village in the mountains of Turkey and then winds through Europe, New York City and ultimately to Brooklyn. Along the way he creates ideas, businesses and art. As he talks with Bill about inspiration, creativity and community you’ll feel the relentless creativity drives him - not in pursuit of money but to make things that expose our shared humanity and the cultural forces that shape us all. http://vahapavsar.com/ www.brooklynindustries.com
