// 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 meet Paola Fernanda Guzmán Figueroa in Oodi library in Helsinki, to talk about her video work Nanita, para siempre. Paola explains how her Colombian roots grew stronger while living in Finland, and how she keeps a close connection to her family by making them a focal point in her art. We discuss different techniques for working with film- and video, and Paola talks about the process, and feeling, of making one thousand drawings of her grandmother for the animation film projected in the library. We also talk about showing art in public spaces not created for exhibitions, and how an audience reacts differently when they are surprised by art rather than looking for it.
