Exploring the relationship of how we are both shaping and being shaped by our surroundings through embodied conversations with artists and thinkers, the Worlding Podcast expands our awareness of our more-than human surroundings and traces interpersonal connections by inviting each guest to recommend an important person for them to be interviewed next, similar to a string figure. Hosted by dance artist Renae Shadler, this show has an organic life of its own and tends to meander in unpredictable and unexpected ways.

Erwan Roussel explores a queer mythology and/or fantasy that is speculative, that you can dream about, you can invent and can even expand to create your own Pantheon, your own history, your own myth.
Erwan left the binary view of the Christian religion because he felt that there was a huge diversity of expressions that could better represent his queerness. Influenced by the pagan rituals and legends of fairies, witches and goblins that he grew up with in Bretagne (France), Erwan set out to dream about what he wanted to be the heir of, what queer ancestors and saints he could align himself with.
Erwan translates his research into talismanic clothes, designing a series of gender-neutral vests that represent embodied states and emotions, such as shape shifting or sadness. He embellishes the vests with chalk drawings of human body parts that morph into animals and plants, winding in and out of different entities and forming a unique Worlding practice that is entangled within it's more-than human surroundings.
