ReSounding Ep.26 – Picturing Displacement with Luciana Abait

By Podcast

Luciana Abait is a multimedia artist whose artworks can be seen in all manner of place: in galleries, at airports, in shop windows, and projected onto enormous walls. Born in Argentina, living in the USA, movement, migration, displacement, and nationhood are all core themes of Luciana’s works. So too is the topic of climate, and the connections between climate crisis and forced migration.

In this episode, Laura Hassler talks to Luciana Abait, taking a deep-dive into her mixed-media works such as the Iceberg and Displacement series’. They talk migration, maps, and climate protest.

ReSounding Ep.10 – Finding Hope with Laura Hassler

By Podcast

Our first episode of a new season of the ReSounding Podcast, and we kick 2022 off with a moving interview with Laura Hassler, the founder and director of Musicians Without Borders, and one of the co-founders of art27.

Laura is an award-winning peace activist who has worked with Musicians Without Borders for over 20 years to help heal the wounds of war through music education, sustainable school programs, and an approach informed by the power of art on the body. In this episode she tells about how she “accidentally” founded the charity, how she finds her hope, and a fascinating story involving the US President Eisenhower and bags of grain.

ReSounding Ep.9 – Rehumanizing with Rikko Voorberg and Rouddy Kimpioka

By Podcast

Walk of Shame is an organisation that has one mission: to rehumanize the way Europeans engage with the topics of migration and refugee status. By acknowledging the collective feelings of shame at having not done enough as a global society to help those in need, Walk of Shame hope to create greater communication through empathy and vulnerable understanding.

Rikko Voorberg and Rouddy Kimpioka join us this week to discuss the important difference between helping and understanding, and ask the question ‘when should we intervene, and when is it enough just to be there for someone?’
