Walkin the Portal :: is a series of 15-minute interviews with creative people during a time of in-betweenness.

About

A lockdown, for us, is an in-between space, neither what it was not what it will be. Amongst the widespread limitation of civil liberties, of ‘normality’ being brought to a halt, we see this period as a time of possible reinvention.

This in-betweenness is like a portal. It is a door, an entrance, a passage. Symbolically, it is also a point of entry to a digital network. Spiritually, it is an entrance to another dimension. More importantly, a portal  is  “a gateway between one world and the next”, as writer Arundathi Roy recently said in a thoughtful essay. According to Roy, we can go through this transition with all our luggage and burden, or with lightness to imagine and construct our future.

With Walkin Portal, we want to discuss how our relationship with the environment is changing — how we are establishing new ways of understanding the circumstances, the objects or the conditions that surround us. And we want to do this with others, with people whose work, thinking, humor, observations, actions we admire.
By walking through this portal, will we ascend, descend, go straightaway, or take new directions?
