“Welcome to another other ways of seeing conversation. This one is with Valentina W. Mwazange. She is a freelance creative producer, but she’s also a speaker, a writer, a poet, a painter, a filmmaker and a photographer. She’s an amazing multidisciplinary artist.

We met at the UK Creative Festival in Margate in 2025.. shout out to Dina and Jeremy Green for putting it on every year, it’s an amazing festival, and I urge you to go to it. At that festival, she told me about the art that she made as well as being a producer at the time at BBH. Since then she’s gone freelance and is spending more focus on her art and herself, which is very exciting.

So our conversation started with where she grew up, the pull to nature and art, her poetry, and how production or just being a producer.. the skills that you learn is so helpful as an artist. We talked about her studying politics, international politics, her general duality in life, which I think we’re all kind of familiar with, I think. Not her duality, our own dualities. We talked about her process, the different medium she uses. Also about her collaborating, especially with her contemporaries in the advertising industry. And we went into her new project about female rage and PMDD (which is PMS on steroids) and ended with her telling us about how we should make art for art’s sake, which is very good advice indeed.

A quick word about our sponsor.. Hungryman is a global commercial production company with offices in London, New York, Los Angeles and Sao Paulo.

Right.. back to our conversation with Valentina.”
