Podcasts have been created as part of the collaborative project “BOWA: Explore Female Artists from Belarus,” which features a series of interviews, workshops, and events with representatives of the Belarusian art community. These artists work in various fields, including illustration, visual art, fashion, digital design, photography, and animation, and interpret the modern context and challenges in their art practices.
The podcasts and videocasts were designed to engage the audience in learning more about the Belarusian art scene, as well as to invite subscribers to follow the development of artistic expression.
The podcast is in Russian and is designed as an artist talk between curator Irina Solomatina and the artists.
