This week I sit down with my dear friend, multidisciplinary artist Anastasia Shi. Anastasia’s path has definitely been winding; born and raised in Siberia, she moved to China the first chance she got, after which she moved to New York where she discovered her passion for art, before finally ending up in Mexico City with me!In this episode we talk about the need for playfulness in the digital age, how to follow your heart and gut when making major decisions, how your visa status can change the course of your life, why we ask ourselves “If you were to die tomorrow, would you have regrets?” as a barometer for life, and how to not let logic cloud your artistic process.Resources & sites mentioned in this episode:<a href="https://www.fundacionjumex.org/es">Museo Jumex</a> in Mexico City<a href="https://www.cntraveler.com/shops/mexico-city/la-langunilla">La Lagunilla</a> (an open air street market with antiques in Mexico City)<a href="https://www.pernod-ricard.com/en">Pernod Ricard</a>, where Anastasia worked in Shanghai<a href="https://coursehorse.com/">Course Horse</a>, where Anastasia’s creative journey began!The <a href="https://www.fitnyc.edu/">Fashion Institute of Technology </a>(FIT) where Anastasia studied in New York<a href="https://www.dhamma.org/en-US/index">Vipassana</a> comes up again!
