CHANEL Connects, the acclaimed arts and culture podcast, returns for Season 3. Featuring global thought leaders, artists, and creators, this series of eight episodes released weekly, is devoted to the profound questions and conversations that shape culture today and define its tomorrow.
CHANEL Connects pairs two visionaries in each 25-minute episode for an intimate conversation that interrogates: the intersection of technology and imagination, fact and fiction in autobiography, the power of collectives, cinematic inspiration, and more.
Including actor and producer Penélope Cruz, architect Frida Escobedo, entrepreneur Jon Gray, designer Yinka Ilori, composer Kelsey Lu, and digital artist Sarah Meyohas, among others, CHANEL Connects fosters unscripted exchanges between brilliant minds at the edge of innovation on universal themes that touch us all.
Architect Sir David Adjaye, whose groundbreaking projects include the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC connects with Anifa Mvuemba, the fashion designer and founder behind women’s clothing line, Hanifa. The conversation was led by critic and curator Aric Chen. They talk about the innovation that can spring from plans gone awry, the creative explosion that could occur through the building of a more just world, and reimagining museums for the continent of Africa.
