The World According To Aewon Wolf | Arnold Phillips On His Creative Evolution

October 06, 2020 • Arnold Phillips aka Aewon Wolf • Season 2 • Episode 12

This week in our digital studio, Arnold Phillips (aka Aewon Wolf) steps up to the mic. Arnold is a musician, entertainer, philanthropist and all-round creative human who placed in the top three for the Orms x DJI "Larger Than Life" video competition earlier this year. Arnold agreed to join us in conversation following his participation in the contest.

In this frank discussion, Arnold opens up about letting go of the pursuit of creative perfection, the power of his platform, the dangers of the Internet's echo chambers, and the need for greater accessibility in order for South Africa's youth to empower themselves with self-education.

A portion of our conversation with Arnold focused on The Werehouse, the youth center and events venue that he started in 2017 which is now a fixture in the Durban creative scene. You can learn more about The Werehouse by reading this article on Bubblegum Club.
