You will also love this episode if you have heard of the thoughtleader and Artist Olek. Agata Olek emerges as a visionary artist, weaving the fabric of reality through their craft. Their creations serve as portals to higher understanding, reflecting the world's truths in intricate crochet and woven patterns. As they embark on a quest for personal truth, their art becomes a meditative practice and a form of activism, challenging societal norms and expanding perceptions. Through this spiritual journey, Olek invites us to discover the transcendent potential within ourselves, guiding us towards a deeper connection with the essence of our collective reality. Their crocheted artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, such as the Brooklyn Museum, Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Urban Nation Museum in Germany, to name a few. Their work has also been featured in various publications, including The New York Times, Vogue, and CNN. Olek is the recipient of several prestigious awards, including the Han Nefken award, and a grant from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. They have also been selected for various residency programs, including Sculpture Space and the LES Rotating Studio Program. Their community-based work and activism have made them a highly sought-after speaker, with guest lectures at prestigious institutions such as Pratt, Parsons, and Syracuse Universities. They have also been featured in a TEDx talk and a documentary called "YARN." Olek has been recognized as a significant force in the art world, with Artsy naming them as an artist giving knitting a place in art history, and Christie's and Art Net listing them as one of the top artist to follow. They continue to push the boundaries of their medium, re-weaving the world as they see fit from their Brooklyn studio to their Polish forest. to connect with Olek: https://www.olex.space/ Olek interview 2014 https://youtu.be/hjmbpQ0HJMs?si=lMowSIFa2WqfNRHe Olek and the Wall Street Bull https://youtu.be/zT0HhNvDFRQ?si=2NsGxsHZI-j7UBRM To connect with me: https://bit.ly/SoulLedSpiritDriven Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/msKasiaBourke Instagram: www.instagram.com/kasiab.love Online home: www.kasia.love
