PHILIPPA PHAM HUGHES: FOSTERING CONVERSATIONS, ART AND COMMUNITY EVENTS

On this episode of The Truth In This Art, I’m excited to share my conversation with Philippa Pham Hughes, a social sculptor, educator, speaker, and writer who designs spaces for honest conversations across political, social, and cultural differences. We explore Philippa’s work and her approach to fostering meaningful connections, drawing from the arts and humanities to create these spaces.   

We explore Philippa’s journey into this work, from her early interest in art and her initial career as a lawyer to her eventual focus on creating experiences that foster connection. Philippa shares her insights on the importance of authentic conversation, the challenges of balancing connection with the influence of technology and social media, and her belief in the power of envisioning a better future to bridge divides. This conversation is an insightful look into the motivations and inspirations behind her work and the ongoing effort to repair the social fabric through dialogue and connection.   

If you’re interested in social practice art, the power of conversation, or creating more connected communities, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and discover the engaging work of Philippa Pham Hughes.
