// 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.

I join Tangmo's participatory performance memory field in The Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki, and meet her there later to unpack it. Together we talk through the performance from beginning to end, and Tangmo expands on how she developed the project and incorporated multiple collaborations with other Thai artists. She tells about the horrific background of the piece: The Thammasat Massacre in 1976, a student uprising event in Thailand which was violently shut down and almost completely erased from common history, and explains some of the differences to working as a student and artist in Thailand and Finland. We discuss student activism, censorship, and how to be brave in your position as artist and reclaim your voice in your work. We also talk about interactive poetry, audience engagement, and psychological aspects of the architecture of the new academy building.
