278: Paul Briggs on the intersection of spirituality, creativity and social justice

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have
an interview with Paul Briggs. During his multifaceted career
Paul has been a professor, minister, and artist. While in the
ministry he became engaged with social justice work, which
influenced his recent body of work “Cell Personae.” The
collection of sculptures deals with the effect mass incarceration
has on black lives. In the interview we talk about the research
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi did into flow states, what we can learn
spiritually through failures in the studio, and how social
justice, spirituality and art intersect. For more information on
