Episode 4.14: I Never Loved My Parents, with Symin Adive
Symin Adive, a Bangladeshi born, US raised, and currently Norway based artist, freelance art director, comedienne, and writer, joins us in a conversation about her sensational piece, "I Never Loved My Parents,” published on Bengalis of New York. We talk career, art, legacy, family, friendship, and farts. This episode truly has it all!
Symin sheds insight on how her abusive familial origin defines her art and comedy. Symin's work exposes societal issues with relationships. Symin is an observer; her work is a commentary on individualism, traditionalism, hierarchy, inherent competitiveness, sexism, and a whole bunch of other -isms. Thought provoking and poignant, Symin attempts to provide actionable steps to these issues via interactive experiences and education: with pieces such as her series “Notes for a Desi Utopia.” Finally, she shares with us her journey to becoming a multimedia artist, her vision for our future, and the legacy she hopes to leave behind.
