September 18, 2020 [New York, NY] David Byrne appeared as a virtual guest on Late Night With Seth Meyers last night. He discussed his upcoming HBO film American Utopia and also admitted to Seth that he suddenly became so nervous prior to the interview that he accidentally used air freshener as deodorant. Watch the segment HERE. Yesterday, Reasons to be Cheerful, the solutions-based online magazine founded by David Byrne, announced We Are Not Divided, a six-week collaborative journalistic exploration of our capacity to overcome division. We Are Not Divided tells the stories of places and institutions that are succeeding in overcoming division. The multimedia series brings together dozens of written features, infographics, video content and other powerful interactive storytelling to infuse the public dialogue with a perspective that highlights the human capacity for finding ways to move toward each other. We Are Not Divided will also feature a collection of original illustrations hand-drawn by Byrne. The project launched yesterday and will run through November 2.

Reasons to be Cheerful is a solutions-based online magazine covering health, culture, science and technology, climate and energy, economics, urban issues and civic engagement. It was founded by artist and musician David Byrne, who believes in the power of approaching the world with curiosity—in art, in music, in collaboration and in life. Through rigorously reported stories of progress and solutions, Reasons to be Cheerful aims to inspire curiosity about how the world can be better, and to ask ourselves how we can be part of that change. Originally started by Byrne as a sort of self-therapy project, Reasons to be Cheerful is the first project of the not-for-profit organization Arbutus, which he created to bring the exciting work of others to light via novel and innovative presentation to inspire and educate.
