Seattle Growth Podcast 6.2: Finding community in art and technology
Season six of the Seattle Growth Podcast explores how Seattleites are building or finding a sense of community in a city that is growing like Himalayan blackberry and transforming before our eyes.
Episode 6.2 features two prominent connectors of Seattle’s arts and tech communities.
Farah Abdallah, a lead product manager at eBay who co-founded the Seattle chapter of Women in Product, shares how she collaborated with Claire Fang of Facebook to bring together hundreds of women in Seattle who are building products for some of the world’s most innovative companies.
And Kevin Sur, founder of Artist Home, shares how his desire to help people and build community evolved into a successful business that serves as a collaborative hub for artists and a producer of many popular area music festivals such as Timber! Outdoor.
The Seattle Growth Podcast is hosted and produced by Jeff Shulman, the Marion B. Ingersoll Professor of Marketing at the UW Foster School of Business.
Shulman is also the producer of On the Brink, the acclaimed documentary of history, hope and determination to save Seattle’s vanishing Central District. Following last week’s world premiere, you can view the film at upcoming screenings June 25 at the Northwest African American Museum and October 19 at the Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI).
