Dreaming Different with Jezz Chung
Dear Friends,
We are happy to announce the launch of “Dreaming Different,“ a new podcast that explores world-building guided by the question: How can we design the future through a neurodivergent lens?
Hosted by Jezz Chung, this six-episode series includes conversations with organizers, artists, cultural philosophers, and scientists to explore how a better understanding of neurodiversity—including the language and experiences of it—can help us create cultures that are more inclusive, equitable, accessible, creative, and connected. We hope that through imagination and conversation, this podcast helps you think, and ultimately dream, a little differently.
Episode One drops on Tuesday, May 2. Listen to it on our website or anywhere you get your podcasts (Spotify | Apple Podcast | Google | Stitcher | Amazon Music). Follow us on @deemjournal to be notified when each new episode comes out.
Jezz Chung is a multidisciplinary artist based in New York City, exploring the intersection of personal transformation and collective change. With a background in movement, performance, healing justice, and community organizing, Chung blends elements of their personal history as an autistic, disabled, multiply neurodivergent, queer, Korean American into their work to explore accessible, equitable, liberated futures.
They have been featured internationally in Paper Mag, Vogue Italia, and Spain’s El País, they’ve written for Washington Post and i-D, and were named a Pride 30 honoree by Logo TV and a mental health advocate by Made of Millions. They were a featured artist for 1969 Gallery's “Pure Joy: 14 Disabled Visual and Performance Artists” curated by Chella Man and have a book with Chronicle Books due Spring 2024 titled THIS WAY TO CHANGE. You can follow their journey @jezzchung on social media and learn more about their work at jezzchung.com.
Thank you for dreaming with us.
Sincerely,
the Deem team
