What this episode covers
Stephen Roach joins the show to talk about Breath and Clay and why it’s built differently than most conferences. With this year’s theme, Making Space, the goal is not a packaged outcome but a shared environment where artists, makers, and seekers can collaborate, experiment, and rediscover how they see the world. They explore why art-making matters for everyone, how creativity trains you to live well in uncertainty, and why beauty operates by a different economy than utility. Stephen shares stories of collaborations born at Breath and Clay and reads an excerpt from his upcoming book, How to See Invisible Things.
