Today on Team Human we conclude our series of live shows recorded at Gray Area Foundation for the Arts in the historic Mission district of San Francisco. Picking up where we left off last week and joining Douglas on stage are teammates Erik Davis and Josette Melchor. Erik Davis is the author of Techgnosis, Nomad Codes and host of The Expanding Mind podcast. Erik and Douglas start with the big question, “What the fuck is going on here?” What begins with a few laughs quickly digs into a mind-expanding conversation about those gray areas between religion, technology, and psychedelics. Erik and Douglas look for coherence and connection in these fractious times. Making this message concrete is Gray Area’s founder Josette Melchor. Josette resurrects our show segment “Real People Doing Real Things.” She offers both practical and profound lessons on building a safe space for community, creativity, and artistic exploration.As we conclude this series, we’d like to thank our teammates at Gray Area; Josette Melchor, Seabrook Gubbins, Alric Burns, our guests for both nights Annalee Newitz, Howard Rheingold, Lauren McCarthy, Erik Davis, and (again!)

Live at Gray Area Night Two Pt. 2: Erik Davis and Josette Melchor

Josette Melchor operates best in a space loosely defined and without labels, hence the name of the nonprofit she founded, Gray Area Foundation for the Arts, which is dedicated to applying art and technology to create social and civic impact. On this episode of Making Ways, Josette talks about her unconventional upbringing in the desert of Indio, California (best known for hosting the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival), the moment as a late teen she discovered her passion for art, how Gray Area came to be, and the collaborations with local artists, technologists, and tech giants that keep each and every day fresh and help her grow as an individual, a community leader, a manager, and a mentor. Tune in for a fascinating tale of a creative career born of curiosity and rooted in making a change for good. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
