Shumate spotlight: a conversation with Tobi Ewing

Apr 14, 2021

Tobi Ewing

The latest entry on the blog from the Wexner Center for the Arts Shumate Council features an inspiring exchange between Isra Rene and Tobi Ewing, Both are creatives who've worked to address needs they identified in the community, Ewing as founder and director of Beauty As A Metaphor and Rene as cofounder of Care Collective. They touch on Ewing's recent multidisciplinary project The Makings of Me, the importance in any artistic practice of being open to new possibilities and centering self-care, and how holding to these beliefs has helped them help others.

"I took this project as sort of a challenge to see what it would look like if you undoubtedly believed in yourself and if you gave it your all, no matter what happens afterwards, or during."
Tobi Ewing on "The Makings of Me"
