This week on the Wonderspace Podcast we head to Brooklyn and ask our six questions to Caledonia Curry also known as Swoon. Callie is a contemporary artist and filmmaker who became widely known as the first woman to gain large-scale recognition in the male-dominated world of street art. Her work can be frequently seen in streets worldwide and has also been showcased in renowned art institutions.Callie is also the founder of the Heliotrope Foundation which helps communities respond and heal after natural disasters and other urgent social crisis. They believe that the creative process can and should be part of how we heal, rebuild, and move forward.“As an artist, I'm somebody who loves to look at a situation and go, ‘really, are you sure’?
