Wonderings

In the months since our initial conversation with quintessential Wonderer Cathy Babcook, her return to Africa has inspired a new community building project among a group of friends brought together by a shared desire to see new ways to flow resources to support wild nature. Conceived of in the wildest spaces of Namibia, this group was inspired by the resilient wildlife and powerful natural landscape to recognize our collective responsibility to safeguard the earth and her beings, and to amplify and magnify these intentions with other resonant souls around the world.

The city is your canvas: What will you create?  

In this Wonderings session, we talk to Mike Osborne, who, from a young age, has been roaming back alleys and jumping into train yards, creating unique art in otherwise forgotten spaces. Now he's taking it to another level, painting large-scale murals in busy public spaces that "cultivate creativity," as he says, spreading a message of solidarity with youth and connection to the natural world. These immersive large-scale works spread the seeds of art-making and expressive connection in all who experience them. 

Mike's story and work inspires us to think about new creative ways of seeing and working within the city, creating new, unique spaces for people to come together. If you could create a work of art in your city or neighborhood, what would you do? Find out more about Mike's work and share your experiences in his Wonderment community.
