In this episode, Alice talks to Simon Costin.
Simon is the director of two museums: The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic and The Museum of British Folklore. He is also a curator and designer, with an astounding number of high-profile collaborations within the fashion industry to his name. He is also, as he discusses in our conversation, a “relentlessly" upbeat individual.
Topics discussed include…
- Growing up as a creative person
- The support network that allows him to work freely and with helpful boundaries
- The connection between magic and creativity
- The privilege of beginning an artistic career in a time when squatting (i.e.occupying empty houses) in London was relatively commonplace
- Creating your own luck.
