This platform
for and about artists, writers, curators, and exhibitions.
It all begins with a good conversation over a coffee or a tea. You have just published a book or have an exhibition, you want to share your deeper story. Sometimes you need someone to ask you these questions. This platform is all about this type of longer and thoughtful exchanges.Published writers are welcome to pitch their ideas for interviews because we need less scrolling and more connectivity.
So far interviewees came from: the U.S., Georgia, South Africa, the Czech Republic, Japan, and Ukraine.
