Liza Enebeis, Creative Director of StudioDumbar/DEPT®, on the huge power of teamwork in design | Women at Work

We are all about rewriting traditions. To continue one we set last year, and as the best Women at Work Season 2 wrap-up (yes, this is the end, for now, my friend), we've interviewed Verònica Fuerte, founder of Hey and mastermind behind Women at Work. In this episode, we've talked about highlights, feminism, mental health, and many other topics that came up while interviewing our fantastic guests. We will close our second season here, but we will be participating in live shows that we will announce on this Instagram channel. Above all, we will be back in January stronger than ever to fight this unfair and unequal patriarchy; we will take no steps back. The world needs feminism, and feminism it will get.

Thank you so much, Experience Valencia Fest for having us. It was an incredible opportunity to talk and share with such inspirational women as Liza Enebeis, Roanne Adams and Caterina Bianchini, as well as Rebeca Arce, who was the best company and gave a fantastic conference. We cannot be more honoured to be part of these gatherings where we find inspiration and amazing women to look up to; we're happy to announce you can now find our live show on Spotify and Apple Podcast! It will be like bringing a piece of the festival to wherever you are. We hope you like it :)

Something major happened on the 6th of May; Women at Work stepped out of the recording studio and landed at OFFF Festival to open up safe spaces and conversations about female creativity, leadership and feminism like never before. We could listen to the inspiring and eye-opening experiences of Rebeka Arce, Tina Touli and Linda and Amanda from OK Motion Club, as well as the people, female and not-female, from the crowd. Needless to say, it brought a tear to our eyes; we have been fighting to be heard for a long long time. And now we want to bring this amazing discussion to you, dear listener, because this is our new episode available on Spotify and Apple Podcast. You can be part of the wave that was created that afternoon.
