// Autumn update: new episodes coming soonish! //
Xenia Ramm, a Danish artist educated at The Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki, interviews creative colleagues in different locations such as galleries, a darkroom or an old water reservoir. We talk about all kinds of creative and cultural work, from conceptual thinking to practical techniques and industry-specific insights. We bring the listeners with us into the space, via ambient sound recordings and verbal descriptions of the places we are in and the artworks we are talking about. Every episode features different guests and topics, with terms and technical details explained in a way that all conversations can be enjoyed by fellow artisans or without previous knowledge on the subject.

Verbal Art is back after a short hiatus - I could not keep up with my schedule...
I have my first ever return guest on the podcast, Harriina Räinä, this time I visit her solo exhibition Volatile Shells in Hippolyte Studio in Helsinki (check Verbal Art episode 5 for my first interview with Harriina, in Helsinki Art Museum). She explains how she is continuing her research on relationships between humans and animals, currently in an ongoing three-part exhibition series with oysters as subject matter, and we get to learn a lot about oysters! We discuss how people relate differently to different types of animal remains, the practicality of protecting your soft tissue behind a hard shell, and how reflections on non-human agency is a very human approach to empathy.
