第十六集: 睁开双眼,敞开心扉 - 和Ariel Ziyi Cui的对话

生长在北京的 Ariel Ziyi Cui从小就知道自己长大后想成为一个艺术家。从五岁拿起画笔的那一刻起,她就再也没有将笔放下。三年前,她来到纽约学习设计。今天,她在纽约的一家精品住宅建筑事务所做与室内整修相关的工作。她终于实现梦想,并且成为了一位展览和室内设计师。作为火花电台“艺术家系列”的第一位嘉宾,在访谈和交流中我们深入探索了在他想寻找灵感,追随创作热情的过程。对于Ariel而言,在不同文化间穿梭的生活方式让她终于可以睁开双眼,敞开心扉地生活。

Born and raised in Beijing, Ariel Ziyi Cui always knew she wanted to be an artist. She began painting at five years old and never stopped. Three years ago, she came to New York to study design. Today, she’s an exhibition and interior designer, and working for a boutique residential architecture firm specializing in gut renovations. The first in our Artist Series, our conversation with Ariel Ziyi Cui kicks off the exploration of what it means to pursue your passions and follow dreams far from home. For Ariel, living a life between cultures has left her feeling like she’s finally living with her eyes and heart wide open.

The Spark Podcast
The Spark is a podcast that explores what it means to traverse cultures and share stories that intersect Chinese and American culture to interrupt barriers and create connections.
The Spark is a cultural haven - A space held by a friendship between two women from two different countries, meeting at the point where their cultures, identities and stories intersect. Their conversations are grounded in transparency as they move beyond previous perceptions and ideas of the other to form deep connections as human beings first.
这是一个由两个来自不同文化背景的女生创造的广播平台。Amy Tianyi Zhao (微博:赵枣儿Amy)虽然来自中国,但她的教育背景和生活履历让她与西方文化产生了强烈的共鸣。Megan Dowaliby 虽然来自美国,但来自中国的老公让她对中国产生了浓厚的兴趣。两个完全不同的女生在一张传统中国餐桌上相遇。语言的交流引发了思想的碰撞。在那次晚餐两年后的今天,火花电台诞生。我们相信,一个人的国籍,以及其居住地并不能代表TA的文化身份。在一个全球化的时代,我们在不同文化中看到自己的影子,每个人都可能是很多文化交流和互动的产物。我们希望通过她们的对话和讨论,加深人们对“跨文化”身份的认同,赋予人们了解世界的激情和力量,最终达到促进世界,尤其是中美两国互相理解的进程。
