The Tale and the Tongue: Where does from scratch start?

<p><em>Where does from scratch start?</em> is episode 23 of <em>The Tale and the Tongue</em> podcast series, developed after a conversation with artist Jesse Darling. While Sonia Fernández Pan, the host of this podcast series, believes that ideas are never entirely our own, there is something very personal in how we express them.</p> <p>Especially when they are joined by life stories, as in Jesse Darling’s case. Following the artist’s words during the conversation, the things we do or think come mostly from life experiences. Listening to Jesse Darling, it does not seem accidental how capitalism keeps us strategically busy and tired. Yet, we keep imagining and doing, with what we have and with what we don’t have. Perhaps the question is not only how we work, but for what or who we work for. A question Sonia Fernández Pan asked Jesse Darling was: when does “from scratch” start? The compass is the search for an origin, a beginning, or a starting point. But when the source is multiple, a single origin is quite impossible.</p>
