In this episode Canan and Laura talk to co/rizom co-founders Alina Serban and Nadja Zerunian about the disappearing of the traditional crafts, what does it mean for our society if artisanship dies out, and what tools co/rizom is developing to support traditional artisans. We get to know the master artisans at the heart of this industry, what fantastic skills they possess, and what challenges they face especially during the pandemic. Our discussion is an invitation to reflect together on our relationship with objects, the value we want to give them, and how they impact humankind’s identity. It is also an invitation to step up and take concrete actions to support this industry. Our guests share what you can do to contribute.
Alina Serban has been living in Vienna since 2004 enjoying the multicultural vibes of the urban space, being involved in theatre and performance projects, participating in the cultural scene of the city and getting inspiration for her work in political equality & participation.
She has been working in philanthropy managing programmes at ERSTE Foundation for 8 years focusing on community development, social entrepreneurship and collaboration with Roma communities in Central and Eastern Europe.
Her love for the aesthetic and the inclusive work-philosophy was the connector to the world of crafts and the motivation behind setting up co/rizom association together with Nadja Zerunian and Andrei Georgescu in 2018

Current projects are in albania, austria, georgia, romania & uzbekistan. After years as a creative force for big international players like georg jensen, calvin klein & the swatch group, she now focuses on the immediate interaction with the makers. In many cases allowing them their first international exposure.
She advised the ERSTE Foundation Roma Partnership program, was creative consultant for UNIDO, United Nations Industrial Development Organization and is co-founder co/rizom.
I love to tell stories but am afraid of words.
an obsessive of sorts -
composing & assembling / arranging & rearranging
to showcase excellence
of master artisans I met over the years.
their competence of making things
& the ease to materialize thought
demand to be shared.
preserving crafts & keeping traditions alive
might feel obsolete or seem redundant.
an afterthought. a sentimental notion.
but creating objects
is a fundamental part of human condition
& the beginning of it all.

Books, love, connection: special anniversary show - Episode 10
In this special anniversary show, it’s our 10th episode and 3 years since we started this podcast, we go back to our common passion for books, literature, and writing that has been nurturing our daily conversations and friendship, ultimately creating the base for this podcast. You are on a treat for moving stories that even we didn’t get to reveal to each other before about how our passion for the written word and more generally for a creative life started. Spoiler alert: memorable funny childhood moments that involve both our families. We made sure to include in the show authors and books that moved us mostly this year. And we have a pull of recommendations for you to be covered for the holiday season. And that’s not all. We also take you on a tour into our home libraries. Because they don’t only host our books but peculiar objects too. Only some made it to our show (there are many and it was hard to make a selection), the stories they carry and the connections they make to our memories. Finally, we share how our interest for a creative life, for reading and writing shaped our work and helped us becoming better communicators.
We wish you a lovely end of the year and happy listening and reading! We will be back in January 2021 with special guests and conversations that inspire us to live more inclusively and create a more empowering world.
We can never be loud enough about the issues we care about.
Much love,
Canan & Laura
