New for 2018: The SXSW Wellness Expo

For the first time, SXSW is hosting an exhibition focused on fueling your mind, body, and soul. The SXSW Wellness Expo will complement the Health & Wellness track at the SXSW Conference while offering SXSW attendees and Guest Pass holders the opportunity to check out the latest innovative products and services in this expanding industry.

In recent years, the Health & Wellness industry has experienced large growth and increased interest. According to the Global Wellness Institute, the Global Wellness industry totaled $3.7 billion in 2015. We’re bringing this industry to the heart of SXSW 2018 with the SXSW Wellness Expo, which spans two days at Palmer Events Center on March 10-11.

This exhibition will not only feature numerous companies within the wellness landscape, but will also feature the SXSW Wellness Expo Stage and other areas with programming that includes, workshops, demos, fitness classes, speakers, readings, relaxation activities, and more.

Exhibit at the SXSW Wellness Expo

We’re looking for businesses and organizations to participate in the SXSW Wellness Expo. If you have a company that falls within the Health & Wellness industry and focuses on herbs and supplements, athleisure, fitness, CBD products, clean eating, natural beauty products, specialty diets, mental and physical exercise, beauty and spa equipment, wellness retreats, or something else, contact us to be a part of this brand new exhibition.

Interested in participating in the SXSW Wellness Expo? We’ve reserved a few 10’x10′ spaces as well as some 30-minute, hands-on demos for nonprofits and others looking to share their passion with attendees interested in the world of wellness.

We’re hitting the road again! In 2018, the StoryCorps MobileBooth — our recording studio housed within a converted Airstream trailer — will travel almost 5,000 miles across the United States, visiting ten cities along the way. Our crew of facilitators will stop in each location for a month at a time, recording the conversations of each community and preserving them in the StoryCorps archive in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.

We’re excited to be working with the public radio stations in each of our tour stops to bring StoryCorps to their communities. Reservations, which are free and available to the public, are announced before our arrival in each city.

January 5 – February 2: Austin, TX in partnership with KUT

February 8 – March 9: Oklahoma City, OK in partnership with KOSU

March 15 – April 13: Portales, NM in partnership with KENW

April 19 – May 18: Fort Collins, CO in partnership with KUNC

May 24 – June 22: Jackson, WY in partnership with WyPubMedia

June 28 – July 27: Bismarck, ND in partnership with Prairie Public

The StoryCorps Mobile Tour has travelled the United States since 2005, capturing the voices of people across the country and bringing the StoryCorps interview experience to those who might not be able to visit one of our permanent StoryBooths in Chicago, San Francisco, or Atlanta. At each stop along the way, we work with station partners, cultural institutions, and community-based organizations to engage with local communities and preserve their stories.

Photography: Exploring Singapore Day & Night

I am slowly gearing up for our next adventure and hopefully we will be heading to Singapore this year or in 2018. One of the best thing I do enjoy before a vacation trip, one of the many things and it’s exploring a city or place through the people who have been there. Especially through photography, I feel that travel vlogs are usually boring (my opinion!) and more about vlogging about themselves than anything else. Let’s explore Singapore through the lenses of Thailand-based photographer Peeradon Ariyanukooltorn and his style is exactly the reflection of what I would be taking from cityscape, scenery, abstract architecture and even stride by shots.

Peeradon Ariyanukooltorn is a freelance photographer from Nonthaburi, Thailand. I would highly suggest for you guys to follow his work on Behance. It’s filled with quality projects, he definitely needs more followers. Let’s get on it!

Let us introduce the 2017 Selection of the Unsplash Awards, a celebration for everyone who openly shares their photography to the community.

Eerie Illustration Work for A Separate Reality

We have featured Alex Andreyev and his amazing and surrealist work so many times here on Abduzeedo. It’s pretty easy to keep featuring him, he is always delivering some incredible illustration work. What I love the most is just how introspective this artworks make me feel. The title of the series explain that quite well, A Separate Reality, 17th edition. Looks like we are 16 posts behind but that’s okay, check out the illustration set after the break and let us know what you think via Twitter and Facebook.

It sounds paradoxical but digital art attracts me because it is free of technological influence. While in traditional arts technologies dramatically limit the artist вЂ“ his ability to stylize works in graphics or extremely time consuming process of paint drying, in digital painting I sit in front of a screen, grab the stylus and see the result immediately. – Alexey Andreev

Alexey Andreev is a Russian artist based Saint-Petersburg. We highly recommend that you check out his work at http://alexandreev.com/index.html
