Summary

Happy Solstice, everyone.

Five and Nine Season 4 is about crisis. It’s our first field studio season, with the majority of our episodes recorded from the beautiful Wadi Rum desert in Jordan, thanks to a special artist residency hosted by One of Many Studio (OoM).

We ask our guests what’s changed since the beginning of the COVID-19 emergency, and how to think about our relationship to the world, the earth and the people around us. We talk global tourism, the quiet of the pandemic, the art of healing, and the world of international development.

Five and Nine is pleased to present this season with OoM, an experience design & consulting studio connecting people with what it means to be a Future Ancestor. 

Stay tuned for Episode 1 in the coming weeks. Subscribe at thisisfiveandnine.com and on Apple, Spotify, Google and Instagram.

In these upside down times, it’s time for a new perspective on the classic “9 to 5” (and yes, we’re Dolly Parton fans). In tarot and astrology, reversals and retrogrades matter, because they shed light on our situation in new ways. Five represents turning points and change, and Nine represents a coming to completion.
We’re all rethinking the meaning of labor and justice in our lives. Our lives and livelihoods are more essential than ever in identifying ways forward for society that can be grounded in care, compassion and sustainability.
