Andriana hi! You have perfect photo processing! could you share how you process the photo?🖌🎨

Hey! ☺️ Thank you very much, I am very pleased to hear this! So my efforts are not in vain) 😏Unfortunately, I do not tell the process of my processing, and if you scroll through a little lower, I answered questions about photo processing. This is a very long and tedious process, unfortunately it is...I can process 1 photo for an hour until I make it perfect for myself)) I can only say what I use: Photoshop, Topaz Clean plugin, psd, add sharpness, Gaussian blur, curves, contrast, brightness, exposure, and etc. Sometimes I go to the editor's free sites and add filters. But my processing is always different, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY I always try to keep the same colors. You can watch and study editing tutorials) there are a lot of them on YouTube or just on the Internet, or in different groups. And I am sure that you will find your own way of editing, and what will be perfect for you. I'm also still looking for my ideal editing path and trying different things)) I wish you good luck and you will learn everything! I hope you won't hold a grudge against me! 🖤

Interview 1

My first interviewer is my best friend Andriana. She studied at Oakland University and graduated this year. Her major is Business economic. 

How does covid effect your mental health?

It was stressful dealing with the changes in school and work, so that changed society but because everyone was effected by it. It made it easier because everyone was affected by it. 

How did covid play a role in your family mental health? Like was there anyone that has it? if so, what was the reaction?

Her uncle had covid and that changed the outcome because we got scared, but we learned through the process that we are grateful for our health. 

What the essential things to keep your mental health positive?

The two most important things is to be warmharded and learn to laugh through sometimes and makes things light but make it easier on your mental health to accept that life is enjoyable and to not stress about things that makes your life horrible. 

What destroy our mental health? Does depression effect your mental health? if so how? 

Depression doesn’t effect your mental health. Overthinking leading to fear, selfish, losing trust, anxiety, and losing confident. 

How would you react if you got covid? would it effect your mental health? 

It would stress out but I will fight through it. And get over it.  

From your experience through Covid what advices would you give to people whom mental health get effected easily? be  

Do not give up and fight through it. Do not make excuses and keep up and be strong to get through it.

Feature with Andriana Minou, writer/musician

So pleased to present this q-and-a with London-based writer and musician, Andriana Minou about her new book, being an artist today, advice for aspiring artists/writers and more...

Andriana Minou profile picture | photo by Evi Minou

Where are you from? How did you get into creative work and what is your impetus for creating?

I was born in Greece and lived there until 2004. I’ve been living in London since then, so I consider London to be home. When I was little, being creative was a game I would play with myself to pass the time and escape boredom or loneliness. This is still part of my creative impetus combined with a need to construct a personal space-time I (and whoever I share it with) can be immersed in. I started with writing, then also studied music and lately I’ve been trying to paint/sketch too.

Tell me about your new book and why it’s important to you. What do you hope people get out of your work?

My book of flash fiction, ‘The Fabulous Dead’ has just been published by Kernpunkt Press. Although I have published 3 books in Greek and my work in English has been included in several journals or anthologies, this is my first full length book to be published in English. ‘The Fabulous Dead’ is a book about the relentlessness as well as the boundlessness of human identity. In ‘The Fabulous Dead’, famous and fabulous dead characters find themselves in dream-like situations that influence the living in unexpected ways. Brahms is a sauerkraut addict having telephone troubles, Marlene Dietrich lives in an ice-cream freezer, Gus Grissom has a secret affair with Dante’s Beatrice, and Virginia Woolf, Sarah Kane and Sylvia Plath drink bloody Marys in the living room; it is a sort of game with the infinity of possibilities contained in single identities. I find it a bit ironic that it is released in the midst of a time of (to say the least) physical restriction and I hope readers will connect with the book’s playfulness and find some comfort in it.

Does collaboration play a role in your work—whether with your community, artists or others? How so and how does this impact your work?

As much as I enjoy working in solitude, I always have collaborative projects running at the same time as my personal projects. For example, at the moment I recently worked on the libretto of queer opera ‘Orfeas 2020’ for the Greek National Opera with a fantastic team of artists, I prepared some weird cabaret shows with Coocoolili, a music performance group I regularly perform with in London and the texts for ‘Prayers of Incompetence’, a music performance by composer Thanasis Deligiannis that was performed in March in Amsterdam. I take collaborative work really seriously as it feeds my creativity, it often gives me material for my personal projects and is also one of the few ways for me to experience a sense of “belonging”.

Sketch from the book “αλλουterra” | published by Strange Days Books

Considering the political climate, how do you think the temperature is for the arts right now, what/how do you hope it may change or make a difference?

I guess the Covid crisis and its political implications will have a dramatic impact on all aspects of our lives; artists – as usual – are the first to suffer in crises as such, with many of us losing work and struggling to survive. However, I have also seen a lot of solidarity and support from art-lovers to artists in many ways in the last couple of weeks. And I have also seen a burst in creativity. I think this crisis is already changing the way we see the world and I hope this change will be for the best. Perhaps this catastrophe will form a new perspective, in which art is not simply a product but a valuable and valued expression of humanity.

Sketch from the book “αλλουterra” | published by Strange Days Books

Artist Wanda Ewing, who curated and titled the original LFF exhibit, examined the perspective of femininity and race in her work, and spoke positively of feminism, saying “yes, it is still relevant” to have exhibits and forums for women in art; does feminism play a role in your work? 

I certainly wish there will be a time when feminism will not be relevant but for the time being I think it should be supported and promoted by all means. There are still many parts of the world where women are not considered equal and – unfortunately – misogyny is still very much alive and kicking even in so-called liberal societies. Lately, we’ve even seen disputes over women’s rights that were supposed to (and should) be taken for granted. I don’t tend to write about feminism per se but my work is inescapably feminist, as the work of any woman who is concerned with the place of females in the world.

Sketch from the book “The Fabulous Dead” | published by Kernpunkt Press

Ewing’s advice to aspiring artists was “you’ve got to develop the skill of when to listen and when not to;” and “Leave. Gain perspective.”  What is your favorite advice you have received or given?

My favourite piece of advice I’ve been given was also the toughest to take in. I actually spent years pondering on it, questioning it, even trying to prove it wrong. ‘Stop trying’; in other words, do what you do as best as you can and things will fall into place in the end. It was (and often still is) very hard for me to tell the difference between being passive and being active in a quiet/confident way. Trying too hard about something has never worked for me.

Ragil Andriana (1)

29 Agustus 2017

Malam itu lampu kota di pojokan Ibukota begitu menyilaukan mata. Di salah satu bangku taman duduklah seorang wanita, ia termenung sendirian di sana. Wanita berambut sebahu, tinggi, sedikit tembem pada bagian pipi, dan memiliki bibir seksi tebal yang sering sekali ditatap haus lawan bicaranya itu menatap sayu jalanan yang masih ramai kendaraan berlalu lalang. Matanya menyapu jalanan, tak ada yang menarik sedikitpun. Sekumpulan orang yang sedang membicarakan ketidaksempurnaan kehidupan orang lain, gerombolan yang sedang tertawa, orang yang sedang minum kopi dengan teman-temannya, dan orang-orang yang sekadar lewat di depannya. Matanya mengamati satu-persatu gerombolan itu, tak ada niatan untuk bergabung. Ia meneruskan membaca novel di pangkuannya yang sedari satu jam yang lalu tidak berpindah halaman. Pikiran itu muncul lagi, besok adalah hari ulang tahunnya yang ke dua puluh, ah lupakan masalah perayaan. Dia hanya mengharapkan kado dari seorang lelaki yang selama kurang lebih empat tahun ini mengisi hatinya. Sahabat lelaki yang begitu ia sayangi, yang mana keduanya merasakan perasaan yang sama namun selalu berlindung di balik kalimat bahwa mereka adalah sahabat.

Lelaki yang begitu dekat dengannya. Lelaki yang merupakan sosok kakak, adik, teman, sahabat, bahkan lebih dari itu arti hadirnya. Lelaki yang jika di depannya, wanita itu bisa menangis dan tertawa sepuasnya. Lelaki yang peluknya menjadi tempat ternyaman di dunia. Lelaki yang senyumnya paling teduh saat seisi dunia begitu panas mencacinya. Lelaki yang mata sayunya, besar hidungnya, harum tubuhnya, bahkan setiap inchi tubuhnya adalah surga dunianya. Lelaki yang hanya membagi segala kisah hidupnya dengan wanita itu. Ya, mereka adalah kasih yang tak ingin memulai kisah.

Perlahan matanya memerah mengingat lelaki itu. Dengan segera ia mengalihkan matanya menuju ponselnya. Sudah lewat tengah malam, namun dia tidak ingin beranjak sedikitpun dari bangku itu. Ia kembali melihat sekeliling, matanya menemukan gerombolan orang yang sedang bernyanyi. Ternyata gerombolan itu hanya menyisakan beberapa orang saja. Kelihatannya gerombolan lelaki itu ramah, hanya ada gitar di tengah-tengahnya. Di tutuplah novel yang sedari tadi ia pegang. Wanita itu menghampiri gerombolan itu.

“Bolehkah saya bergabung?”, ucapnya dengan senyum ramah.

Disambutlah wanita itu oleh tiga pria dan satu wanita yang juga bergabung ke sana sebelum ia datang.

Penyanyi jalanan itu begitu memiliki suara yang merdu. Ada satu lelaki yang di awal diperhatikannya. Kulitnya putih, rapi, tidak berantakan, suaranya halus pula. Wanita itu pun mencoba mengajaknya bicara.

“Boleh saya request lagu padahal baru datang?”, tanyanya sambal tertawa kecil.

“Request saja tak apa Nona, selagi saya bisa”, jawab lelaki itu.

Namun tanpa wanita itu sadari, kedatangannya dari awal sudah menarik perhatian salah satu penyanyi jalanan itu. Lelaki berkulit agak hitam yang jika kau perhatikan lama-lama dia terlihat manis menggemaskan. Sedari kedatangannya, lelaki itu sudah memperhatikannya hingga pada saat wanita itu bertanya pada lelaki putih di sampingnya, ia ikut menjawab,

“Tenang saja, Nona. Lelaki rapi ini backingan-nya banyak kok” celetuknya sambal tertawa.

Pada awalnya, wanita itu tidak memerhatikan lelaki berkulit hitam ini. Namun ternyata, lelaki ini tak bosan menarik perhatiannya. Mulai dari menyanyikan lagu yang wanita itu sebutkan dan bertingkah menggemaskan hingga akhirnya wanita ini merasa tertarik dengannya. Tak terasa sudah pukul tiga dini hari. Hanya ada mereka bertiga di pojokan taman itu. Lelaki bersuara serak yang berhasil membuat wanita itu selalu menatapnya saat bernyanyi maupun bercerita, Ragil namanya.

“Ah, aku mengantuk. Aku balik duluan, ya. Mau tidur. Thanks ya”, pamit lelaki itu.

“Nanggung, Gil. Sekalian subuh aja sih”, cegah wanita itu.

Sebenarnya ia masih ingin berlama-lama dengannya.

“Ah, aku sudah tidak tidur selama dua hari. Tidak kuat rasanya”.

Memang kantung mata dan lingkar hitamnya menjelaskan semuanya.

“Yasudahlah”, jawab wanita itu sedikit kecewa.

Wanita itu menutupi kekecewaannya dengan berbicara pada lelaki di sebelahnya, meminta dinyanyikan lagu 5SOS-She Looks So Perfect1. Namun ternyata, Ragil kembali duduk di sampingnya. Ia mengambil gitar dan memainkan lagu permintaan wanita ini dengan penuh emosi.

“Kenapa sih? Mana mainnya ga selow”, tanya wanita itu dengan heran.

“Hmmm emosi, kenapa pas ngantuk malah kamu requestnya lagu yang aku suka?”

Wanita itu hanya tertawa terpingkal-pingkal “Makanya, di sini dulu aja, sampai pagi”

“Bentar deh aku mau cari kopi dulu”.

Dengan sabar wanita yang kerap dipanggil Andriana itu menunggunya.

“Ah sudah?” Tanyanya saat Ragil berdiri di sampingnya.

“Iya sudah”.

Mereka pun berbincang kesana kemari. Seakan tidak ada orang lain yang memperhatikan mereka berdua. Tanpa Andriana tahu, Ragil tertarik padanya pada saat ia tertawa pertama kalinya. Ragil memerhatikannya sedari ia menyebutkan lagu request pertamanya. Ragil selalu menatapnya sedari ia tahu bahwa selera musik Andriana cukup lumayan untuk ukuran wanita. Ragil semakin menatapnya karena ia adalah tipe wanita yang bisa mengritik jika ada yang fals pada suara Ragil secara blak-blakan, tidak seperti wanita-wanita yang seringkali hanya memujanya dan mencoba menarik perhatiannya. Wanita ini, Andriana, tidak menunjukkan bahwa ia tertarik dengan Ragil saat pertama kali melihatnya, dan ini yang membuat Ragil semakin ingin mendekatinya. Ada rasa ingin tahu dalam diri Ragil tentang Andriana. Ada rasa untuk ingin dekat dengan Andriana.

Andriana, wanita yang sedang berduka karena sahabat lelaki yang meninggalkannya, yang sedang ingin melupakan hari ulang tahunnya, yang sedang ingin lari dari realita, kini sedang tertawa melupakan segalanya bersama lelaki hitam ini di sampingnya. Hatinya sedang mekar karena Ragil di sampingnya. Dipersilakanlah Ragil masuk dalam hidupnya. Andriana merasa begitu dekat dengan Ragil. Andriana seorang wanita ambivert, dan Ragil berhasil menjadi salah satu yang dipersilakannya dengan baik.

Perbincangan ringan yang dilakukan keduanya begitu banyak. Di mana Ragil juga membuka semua yang ada padanya pada Andriana. Mengenai perjalanan musiknya, kehidupan kuliahnya, bahkan keluarganya. Bagaiamana ia berjuang memertahankan mimpi untuk menjadi musisi. Bagaimana ia begitu menginginkan keinginannya bermusik namun tidak mendapat restu orangtuanya. Bagaiamana ia mengalami kecelakaan hebat hingga jari-jarinya patah pada saat melakukan audisi musiknya. Bagaimana ia menghadapi keterpurukannya selama dua tahun. Bagaimana sampai saat ini jari-jarinya masih terasa sakit jika bermain piano selama lima belas menit. Bagaimana ia harus menunda kuliahnya selama satu tahun terakhir ini karena masalah ekonomi. Mereka bercengkerama kesana kemari tanpa henti. Di mana Ragil menempuh studi Teknik Mesin di salah satu universitas yang ada di Semarang. Ah, tanpa Ragil tahu, Andriana ternyata semakin tertarik padanya. Meskipun pada awalnya, Andriana tertarik karena Ragil memiliki banyak kesamaan dengan sahabat lelakinya. Tempat kuliahnya, bagaimana caranya berbicara, bagaimana setiap ia menyanyikan lagu untuknya, pada awalnya Andriana tertarik karena Ragil bisa menggantikan lelaki itu sementara waktu. Namun Andriana salah.

Kedua manusia ini sedang dipetemukan semesta. Semesta sedang bersama mereka berdua.

“Aku suka bikin lagu sendiri. Sampai-sampai aku punya lagu ulang tahun buatanku sendiri”, celetuk Ragil saat perjalanan pulang mereka.

“Ah iya? Btw, aku sedang ulang tahun hari ini, Gil hahaha” balas Andriana iseng.

“Lah, serius, And? Hahaha yaudah nanti siang aku nyanyikan deh. Ini udah mau subuh juga kan”

“Iya, Gil. Yaudah kamu balik sana aku juga mau balik, tidur”.

Keduanya berpisah tepat setelah adzan subuh berkumandang. Mereka kembali ke rumah masing-masing dengan perasaan penuh tanya masing-masing.

Artists in Recovery Find Their Fix in "The Creative High"

Recovery that consists of meetings, step work, and an unfulfilling job makes for a very black-and-white life — at least for me it did. That wasn’t the recovery I wanted. I was bored. When I got involved in creative endeavors, however, it was like adding color back into my world. For some people, creative expression becomes a new high.As I started to explore creativity and art, I realized that I’d opened a door to a part of me that had been closed since I started using drugs. As a child, I loved painting and crafting. I reignited that passion and began expressing myself in new ways: blogging, writing and journaling; painting and drawing; making art and attending craft classes; and creating new recipes. My world feels so much more livable with art in it.I’m not alone, fellow creative Jules tells me: “Art is everything, really. I don't care if you write, paint, dance, sculpt, make movies, or whatever. It's a way to choose an expression to share who you were and who you're becoming. We're all messes of insecurity and works in progress. The key is to keep working.”A big stumbling block for many of us is that we don’t know where to start, and, like Jules says, we have insecurity about our work. That’s where artist Tammi Salas comes in. Over the past few years, Tammi has been sharing her creative journey in recovery. Through Instagram, the #RecoveryGalsArtExchange, her podcast The Unruffled, and other ventures, Tammi gives us a starting point and inspires us to play.“Art helped me fill the void alcohol once occupied. My entire recovery is centered around making and creating art,” she says. “Not a day goes by without me tapping into my creative groove and seeing what comes out. Art anchors me and helps me reframe old stories and visually create new ones.”San Francisco-based filmmaker, educator, and arts therapist Adriana Marchione finds her creative outlet in film. For the last 20 years, she has been dedicated to supporting people struggling with substance use disorder and other addictions. Recently, she directed a new a documentary feature-length film, The Creative High.The Creative High Footage Teaser, Spring 2018 from Adriana Marchione on Vimeo.The documentary shares the stories of working artists — including Wesley Geer of Rock to Recovery and Ralph Spight, a punk musician who plays with Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedys — who have faced addiction. The film reveals their transformational paths to recovery, and the natural “high” of making art. The Creative High brings the viewer into the world of hip-hop, drag performance, punk music, dance, theater, and visual art, demonstrating “the tension that exists between the altered states of creativity and addictive behavior.”Andriana Marchione took some time out of her schedule to discuss her creative process with The Fix. The Fix: How has art and creativity influenced your own journey in recovery?Adriana: I came into recovery 25 years ago as a photographer/visual artist, and at that time I didn’t see a lot of creative role models in recovery. To be safe and away from triggers around my addiction that mainly stemmed from alcohol abuse and unhealthy relationships, I felt that I needed to move away from my creative life and artist connections. Life slowly became manageable. I started to heal, I found peace of mind, but I missed the excitement and vibrancy that my art making gave me. I found more internal ways to express myself (art journaling, poetry, small collages) versus making art to exhibit or be in environments where I mingled with other creatives and had to confront drinking and social life — galleries, parties, bars. This led me to study expressive arts therapy after several years into recovery, and then I made a career out of this. This has been incredibly rewarding to me, giving me a life of purpose, and also finding a focus where I specialize in working with addiction recovery, and artists who face addictions and eating disorders.Along the way, I have found new ways to express myself: improv performance, Argentine tango, being an art curator for many years, and coming back to my love of media through filmmaking over the last five years. It also took a while (and continues to challenge me) to find the balance with creating art and being public in art making, taking risks but still being grounded in recovery.What motivated you to create this film, and what does it represent to you?Being dedicated to a creative project of substance and collaborating with the film team has been one of my hopes and visions in recovery. For the last 25 years, I have focused on art therapy and supporting people one-on-one or in a teaching setting, but when I started making documentaries I felt a strong calling to tell stories and make a larger statement through my art. Films have the power to do that.My first documentary film, When the Fall Comes, was released in 2014 and was about my personal journey with grief and using the arts to heal. This film gave me the inspiration to do more films because I realized how many people a film can reach and what a rich experience it is to be involved in the making of a film. It is also a passion project since the topic of creativity and addiction is so close to my heart. This is something I have lived and watched others struggle with in my work — how to have a creative life successful in recovery. I wanted to tell the artist’s story from a new perspective, with many voices. I wanted to give hope to artists in recovery and artists who are still caught in addictive cycles, but I also wanted to show how the arts can be an important vehicle for healing in recovery.In what ways do you think the film will speak to both people in recovery and to those seeking it? I hope this film will give people a window into the real challenges and successes that artists who have suffered from substance use disorders face. I also think it is important for people to speak publicly about their addictions, so the public can see that recovery happens and so that we can continue to combat stigma that comes along with the disease of addictions.Some of the artists in the film have had to go through a process with this, and I applaud their courage and willingness to reveal their stories with the public. I hope that people viewing the film will have a deeper sense of the highs and lows that accompany the creative process and take the risk to create. I also want to convey the fact that seeking an alternative “high” through making art gives another channel to find that aliveness and spiritual connection often sought through drugs and alcohol. Art can be the new medicine, one that is productive and meaningful rather than destructive and life-diminishing. You chose nine working artists from diverse backgrounds to feature in the film, rather than choosing celebrities. What unique qualities do you think that will bring to the overall production?It felt very important to tell a different story than the celebrity story. So many films, TV shows, memoirs have been put out that tell the dramatic story of famous people struggling with addiction. Addiction affects us all in some way, and there are so many artists who live ordinary lives (and extraordinary as well) who are trying to be successful with their art without falling into addictive behaviors. Documenting a variety of stories, from musicians to dancers to visual artists, shows all different sides of life. We wanted to show many recovery perspectives and how each one is unique but they all experience the power of the arts practice. Conceptualizing and producing a film is a huge task. What other challenges have you faced making a film that was funded through donations?Making a feature-length documentary is a huge feat that requires endless determination. We have been making The Creative High and are now in post-production, which is the most expensive part of making a film. We have pursued many avenues for funding including applying to grants, crowdfunding, reaching out to private foundations, and seeking investors, sponsors and executive producers. In general, funding is not easy to procure for independent films, and we have found that the most effective way to gather the funds has been through individuals making small donations that add up. We are very open at this completion stage to have sponsors and executive producers join us with larger donations to help us get to the finish line!Last, how can we support your fundraising?You can support our fundraising by making a donation here. The sooner we gather our remaining funding, the faster we can complete the film and get its message to the public. All donations are tax-deductible. Find out more about director Adriana Marchione’s work: http://bit.ly/2AWjeA4 do you express yourself in recovery? Tell us below.

Artists in Recovery Find Their Fix in "The Creative High"

Recovery that consists of meetings, step work, and an unfulfilling job makes for a very black-and-white life — at least for me it did. That wasn’t the recovery I wanted. I was bored. When I got involved in creative endeavors, however, it was like adding color back into my world. For some people, creative expression becomes a new high.As I started to explore creativity and art, I realized that I’d opened a door to a part of me that had been closed since I started using drugs. As a child, I loved painting and crafting. I reignited that passion and began expressing myself in new ways: blogging, writing and journaling; painting and drawing; making art and attending craft classes; and creating new recipes. My world feels so much more livable with art in it.I’m not alone, fellow creative Jules tells me: “Art is everything, really. I don't care if you write, paint, dance, sculpt, make movies, or whatever. It's a way to choose an expression to share who you were and who you're becoming. We're all messes of insecurity and works in progress. The key is to keep working.”A big stumbling block for many of us is that we don’t know where to start, and, like Jules says, we have insecurity about our work. That’s where artist Tammi Salas comes in. Over the past few years, Tammi has been sharing her creative journey in recovery. Through Instagram, the #RecoveryGalsArtExchange, her podcast The Unruffled, and other ventures, Tammi gives us a starting point and inspires us to play.“Art helped me fill the void alcohol once occupied.
