Do Not Disturb · A podcast about motherhood
Mariana Shafro:
The creative life beyond the polished image
Mariana on photography, war and rebuilding a life that looks very different from the pictures.
The Do Not Disturb edit
Three things to take with you.
Three ideas from the conversation, in our words.
Do
Notice the skills and ideas people already come to you for.
Not
Wait for perfect conditions to begin a new creative chapter.
Disturb
The assumption that a polished public image means a secure private life.
What is happening outside the frame?
Mariana talks with Simona about her creative work and the experience of war and displacement. The conversation looks beyond a polished public image to the uncertainty behind it.
They discuss starting again and recognising the skills people already turn to you for, even when the conditions for a new project feel far from perfect.
What comes up
- Photography and creative work
- War, displacement and starting again
- The life behind a public image
