New Currency: Recent Episodes
New Currency
New Currency is a global youth culture platform dedicated to the exchange of ideas.
Our mission is to empower the global audience of youth—many that yearn for opportunities and experiences beyond their national borders—through collaboration, conversation and curated, knowledge-based events around the world.
We champion the value-add of emerging perspectives and new voices. We believe in breaking down all barriers—real, and perceived—in creative industries such as media, entertainment, fashion and tech.

For our latest conversation, “ON OPTIMISM & THE FUTURE”, we chat with designer and architecture student of @harvardgsd, Jeremy Benson. In our conversation, Jeremy reflects on what has changed for him during the pandemic and how it has caused the removal of “white space”, a concept he breaks down in the podcast. He also shares insight on how institutions, architecture and space are complicit in myths of normalcy which uphold racist systems. Jeremy also presents ideas of what the “new” institution should look like in an increasingly digital world.
For the fifth instalment in our conversation series, "ON OPTIMISM AND THE FUTURE", we chat with creative strategist and producer Roxy Navai.
