Don’t Give Up on Yourself: Nina Kurtela on the Struggles of Midlife; Living Your Full Potential; and Staying Diversified

Visual artist and choreographer from Croatia, Nina Kurtela, talks about working in Ana’s mom Jagoda Kaloper’s art studio, researching her creative legacy, and learning from her. As Jagoda’s lessons, Nina shared being diversified and not defining yourself as just one thing/profession/position; surrounding yourself with people and bringing them together; and being persistent and not giving up on yourself, even after longer breaks, or during the struggles of midlife. Nina also talked about her mom, from whom she learned the same lesson - do not give up on yourself - but from a different angle.
