Inside ‘Where Children Sleep’: Childhood, Culture & Inequality – EP 26 w/ James Molliso16 nov 202513 min

<p>In this episode, Ryan speaks with James Mollison, whose acclaimed project <em>Where Children Sleep</em> explores childhood through the lens of the bedroom, and what it reveals about culture, inequality and identity. We discuss what inspired him to start this work, how children’s sleep-environments vary dramatically around the world, and what lessons his images hold for understanding the connections between material conditions, sleep and emotional health. Whether you’re interested in children’s mental-health, global cultures or photography as a tool for change, this episode offers a unique vantage on how a simple space, the place a child sleeps, can reflect far more than meets the eye.</p><p><br></p><p>James Mollison Links:</p><p><a href="https://www.jamesmollison.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Website</a></p><p><a href="https://www.jamesmollison.com/projects-link/where-children-sleep" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Where Children Sleep </a></p><p><br></p><p>Connect with REM Reward:</p><p>► Website: remreward.org</p><p><br></p><p>► Instagram: @rem_reward</p><p><br></p><p>Listen to our podcasts on other platforms and make sure to subscribe/follow!</p><p>•<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rem-reward/id1716475851"> <u>⁠Apple Podcasts⁠</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>•<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5Pwep0tU3AZAyQ0Ax2SryN"><u>⁠ Spotify Podcasts⁠</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>•<a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9lY2VkOTUzMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw"> <u>⁠Google Podcasts⁠</u></a></p><p><br></p><p>•<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@REMReward"><u>⁠ YouTube⁠</u></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>For more tips, check our website at remreward.org. </strong></p><p><br></p>
