Episode #135 Cherri Lakey & Brian Eder - Anno Domini and SubZERO

This podcast is also available on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and YouTube.When Cherri Lakey and Brian Eder first launched Two Fish Design, their plan wasn’t just to continue their graphic design work—it was to build something radically different. Inspired by a yin-yang logo of two fish swimming upstream, the duo adopted the motto: “Those who swim against the stream come to the source.” This philosophy of challenging the status quo and seeing what others overlook became the heartbeat of their now-iconic creative ventures: Anno Domini Gallery, Kaleid Gallery, Phantom Galleries, South FIRST FRIDAYS, and SubZERO Festival.In this conversation, Brian and Cherri recount their journey from design to street art, their curatorial risks, the birth of SubZERO, and how they continue their hand in shaping San Jose’s cultural ecosystem.Follow SubZERO Festival on Instagram @subzerofestival and learn more at subzerofestival.com. Follow all of their other projects at Anno Domini Gallery, @annodominigalleryKaleidgallery, @KaleidgalleryPhantom Galleries, @phantomgalleriesSouth FIRST FRIDAYS, @artwalksj
