概要
 Want to hear how real artists actually make it work? noseyAF skips the glossy bios and gets into the messy, human, creative parts of building a life in the arts, and using that life to change the world. Hosted by artist, filmmaker, and professionally nosey person Stephanie Graham, each episode goes deep with working artists, filmmakers, organizers, and culture-shifters about what's actually behind their work: the decisions, the doubts, the money stuff, the pivots, and the "how do you keep going?" moments. No hustle propaganda. No gatekeeping. No pretending it's easy. If you love peeking behind the curtain, noseyAF gives you the honest, energizing conversation you didn't know you needed.Copyright © 2026 Stephanie Graham.

    noseyAF Recommends: The Four Percent Amplified

    This week I'm sharing an episode of The Four Percent Amplified, hosted by Shari "Sunni" Fairclough of Sunni Aesthetics, who joined me on noseyAF for Episode 133 during my 31 Days of Black Business series. Sunni created the show to amplify BIPOC voices in the design industry, where Black designers are still only about four percent of the field.

    In this episode, "Branding with Purpose When Activism Becomes the Brand," designer Leila Kharem of KHI Design Group talks about growing up between cultures, tracing her family back to Barbados and to a great-great-grandmother born into slavery in 1850s Maryland, and what she learned from her late father, Omar Kharem, a Civil Rights era photographer whose work has been exhibited at the Met and the Brooklyn Museum. His lesson, as she tells it: he never compartmentalized, and authenticity is freeing.

    Stay for Sunni's opening, too. She spends the first few minutes walking through design as a tool for activism, from the Russian Constructivists to Emory Douglas and the Black Panther Party to ACT UP to the rainbow flag. It's a great piece of writing.

  • The Book That Sat on His Hard Drive for Ten Years : Kevin Chung on We Are All Creative

    The Book That Sat on His Hard Drive for Ten Years : Kevin Chung on We Are All Creative
    2026/10/29
    Ep 155: The Book That Sat on His Hard Drive for Ten Years : Kevin Chung on We Are All Creative🚨First Things First! Come to Kevin's Party Today at 3 pm ESTKevin Chung wrote a book about creativity almost ten years ago, then let it sit. This year he pulled it back out, cut the people who had since turned out to be problematic, and finally put it into the world. We talk about what it takes to actually finish something.This one was a first for me. Kevin and I recorded live on LinkedIn, which I had never done before, so you get to hear us figure out the technology in real time before we get into it.Kevin Chung is a writer, marketer and creativity evangelist who spent 17 years in corporate tech in Florida. After the 2024 election, he and his wife Anita decided they did not like where things were headed, made the call on Valentine's Day, and moved to Costa Rica about six months later. Selling the house. Getting every piece of residency paperwork dated inside the same six month window. Driving four hours to the state capital because Florida lost one of their documents. He walks through all of it.Then we get into the book, We Are All Creative. Fifty-two weeks, each one built around a quote, an original piece of art he made himself, a story about a real person, and an invitation to shift something. He wrote the first version a decade ago and left it on his hard drive. Going back through it this year, he found that some of the people he had held up as examples had become problematic, so he swapped them out, which turned the revision into its own creative act.We also talk about the thing I am worst at: celebrating. Kevin throws parties. For his book. For his dog. He has a whole practice around it, and I asked him how he does it, because finishing something and immediately asking "what's next" is my default setting and I would like to stop.Plus: why he thinks creativity is a way of thinking and not a job title, how being an obliger means you need somebody else to hold your deadline, and the smallest thing you can do this week if you feel like you are living on autopilot.What We Talk AboutWhy they moved, and how a decision made on Valentine's Day became a move six months laterResidency paperwork, the lost document, and the four hour drive to the state capitalGetting the offer on the house while standing in line for Space MountainCreativity as how you think, not what you do for a livingWhat happens when the people you held up as examples turn out to be problematicThe questioner, the transitioner and the builder, and which season people have the hardest time admitting they are inBeing an obliger, and why external deadlines are the only ones that work for some of usWhy he celebrates whether one person buys the book or a million people doSaying it out loud so other people can help you, and how his brother's client led to their realtor, who led to their lawyerMaking creative work when you are depleted, including the writer who dictated her book while the baby nappedWhat young Kevin believed about hustle that he no longer believesChapters:00:08 - Party Announcement & Episode Release (Oct 29, 2026)02:05 - Kevin Chung Introduces Himself and His Book19:32 - Start with Your Season — the Book's Website and Reader Pathways30:48 - Planning the Launch Party — Celebrating the Book39:24 - Getting Unstuck — Breaking Autopilot and Cultivating Creativity52:39 - Finding the Book and Kevin’s Creative EcosystemAll about Kevin ChungKevin Chung is a writer, marketer and the author of We Are All Creative, a fifty-two week book pairing quotes, original artwork and real stories with an invitation to make a shift.

    Ep #154: Joy Is Infrastructure with Janell Nelson of Englewood Arts Collective
    2026/10/27
    Ep #154: Joy Is Infrastructure with Janell Nelson of Englewood Arts CollectiveThis episode was recorded live at Lumpen Radio 10.24.26What if joy wasn't a nice extra, but part of the infrastructure of a healthy neighborhood, right alongside the sidewalks and the streetlights?Recorded live at Lumpen Radio, I'm talking with Janell Nelson, creative strategist, artist, and Director of Englewood Arts Collective, about the EAC Arts Village Sculpture Park at 63rd and May and what it takes to build something beautiful on three vacant lots with almost no money.What We Talk AboutWhy she calls community engagement an art form, and how a graphic designer ends up stewarding a sculpture parkHow a lot deal that fell through turned into a pitch to her alderman and a three to five year agreement on three vacant lotsWhat a long form pop up is, and why it matters in the years before the big developments are readyHow the 40 foot mural happened with zero funding, starting with her being, in her words, extremely annoying to the guy who owned the buildingWhy she asked for Chicago's Magnificent Mile star sculptures back, and the history of 63rd Street that makes that symmetry landThe juicy turn: the keyboard warriors who assumed she was getting rich off this, and her answer, which is that she's rich in relationshipsIf you love neighborhood history, design that actually serves people, or the behind the scenes of how a thing gets built out of nothing but partnerships, this episode is for you.Chapters00:03 – Recorded live at Lumpen Radio02:25 – Janell Nelson on joy as neighborhood infrastructure19:49 – From a failed lot deal to three vacant lots32:43 – The Arts Village, and the partners who actually built it41:55 – Permission and momentum: creating a mural with no funding57:17 – Stories of Us: Englewood's public art partnershipTakeawaysJoy isn't a bonus. It's infrastructure, same as the sidewalks and the streetlights.We deserve to play where we lay. Every neighborhood deserves beautiful spaces, and a vacant lot is not a description of the people who live there.Community engagement is an art form. We all wake up and design the life we live.The park got built on partnerships, not money. Pro bono architects, donated bricks, a muralist who cold called, and a neighbor named George who tarps the boards when it rains.Own your dopeness and stay humble enough to recognize everybody else's.Artists are stewards, not decorators.Rich in relationships is its own kind of rich.All about Janell NelsonYou're gonna love Janell. She's the person who will tell you to own your dopeness and stay humble enough to recognize everybody else's in the same breath.Janell Nelson is a Chicago-based creative strategist, artist and Director of Englewood Arts Collective whose practice uses graphic design, public art and creative placemaking to build connection, cultural visibility and investment in communities. She's a 2026 Leaders for a New Chicago awardee, recognized by the Field and MacArthur Foundations, and her leadership of EAC's Arts Village Sculpture Park helped earn the project a "Designing a Better Chicago" Award from the Driehaus Foundation and Chicago Design Museum. Her guiding principle is simple: good design should do good.Born in South Shore and raised in Englewood, she went to Whitney Young and UIC, and her proudest work is at home.Things We MentionedEAC Arts Village Sculpture Park, 63rd and May, open daily 10 to 4 → englewoodartscollective.org/supportLast guided tour of the season, Thursday November 19, 9:30 to noonStories of Us, the traveling African drum sculpture exhibition, on view through November 22Englewood Arts Collective, founded 2017, turning ten next yearTonika Lewis Johnson and Unblocked EnglewoodGrow Greater Englewood's We Deserve Beautiful Spaces campaign16th Ward Alderman Stephanie ColemanRyan Tova Katz, the muralist behind the 40 foot muralFolded Map, EAC's nonprofit homeConnect with Janell NelsonIG: @jtothenellEAC on IG: @englewoodartscollectiveWebsite: janellnelson.com (Janell, no E on the end.
