Episode 21

The importance of arts and crafts in redesigning our exciting future, with visual artist and designer Janne Robberstad - Part 2

In the last episode you got to know Janne Robberstad, artist, designer, teacher and PHD student. We had so much to talk about that I decided to split the episode into two parts. If you haven’t listened to the first part, I recommend you go back and do that first. 

In this part we continue to talk around the topic of how important art and design is for our future. Janne shares how she worked on a really inspiring project for the local library. I will make sure I share some pictures with you. And we spend quite some time on my standard question - that I ask all my guests - what does the future look like for you, what have we accomplished in ten years from now. I thought this was a very interesting question to ask Janne, who is a very creative person with a strong imagination. 

And last but not least we discuss the fine balance between talking and acting and why we should do both.

Veslemøy Klavenes-Berge

Geophysicist by formal education, with a background within mobile satellite communication and the oil and gas industry. I did a 180 degree pivot in my career in 2016 and have since then focused all my energy and time to explore how we can have the optimal combination of the three pillars;
a good life - an interesting job - a healthy planet.
I have a strong sense of urgency when it comes to the huge challenges we are facing in the years to come, especially when it comes to climate change, but I strongly believe in the potential in people to step up and do the work when it is really needed.
That time is now.
