Learning to Laugh with Roxana Halls

Artalogue

"I think of humor as being a sleight of hand, like a magic trick. I think of it as being a way of talking about the thing you really want to talk about by not talking about it at all. I'm very interested in the way that people use humour and the way that humour is often used as a vehicle for telling the truth." - Roxana Halls
On today's episode, I chat with award-winning British painter Roxana Halls. Roxana's art explores how laughter can be an antidote to the opprobrium women face everyday, making it an excellent topic for International Women's Day.
The invaluable advice Roxana offers throughout the show underscores the importance of valuing your unique voice and starting with whatever you have, no matter how humble. Halls details her journey as a young artist who struggled to make ends meet after leaving home and pursuing her passion. As a self-taught artist, Roxanna opens up about the difficult decisions she's made, like choosing art supplies over basic necessities, and how she crafted her own artistic education against all odds. Her determination and resilience are inspiring and a testament to the power of passion.
