Host
Shantell Martin.
I’m Shantell Martin, a public speaker, intuitive philosopher, cultural facilitator, curator, choreographer, songwriter, performer, and more. From fashion and celebrity collaborations to adjunct professor positions at MIT Media Lab, NYU Tisch ITP, Columbia University’s Brown Institute, and choreographing a ballet at the Boston Ballet, my LINE constantly evolves. Creating new connections between fine art, education, design, philosophy, and technology, I explore themes such as intersectionality, identity, and play.
Join me each week as I chat with some of my friends, getting to know who they are as artists and why they make art. I hope to answer this age-old question: What’s the point?
