Preston Hegel on Creativity, Art and Building Community at the XCHC

Really enjoyed this in depth conversation with Preston Hegal all about cultivating community among creatives who are creating Art at the XCHC XCHC (Exchange Christchurch) | Art Space.  We start with his own background and what has shaped his life, life changing moments that led to new realisations and eventually landing in New Zealand where he is building community at the XCHC.  This was a very wide ranging and in depth interview with someone I really respect for what they are bringing to this city and the country in terms of modelling creative expression and catalysing artists while also connecting diverse people together.  I know the XCHC well as it has been the venue – thanks to Preston – for dozens of Impact Lunches over the years.  If you enjoy this check out the 300+ other interviews in the back catalogue too.  www.theseeds.nz
