OtherNetwork Conversations is a podcast series by OtherNetwork.io that highlights some of the independent cultural projects reshaping the art world today.
Each episode is recorded on location in a different art space, putting our guests in conversation with an invited artist, curator or cultural producer to discuss the politics of creating art in their respective local contexts. We believe that Independent cultural venues offer vital counter-narratives to those of larger galleries and museums – OtherNetwork Conversations features different spaces around the world, from Accra to Rotterdam, to find out how.

Compound House Gallery, Accra x Ylinka Barotto, New York City
Accra | New York. Join us at the Museum of Science and Technology in Accra, Ghana for a conversation between Nuna Adisenu-Doe, founder of the nomadic Compound House Gallery, and Ylinka Barotto, director at Mitchell-Innes & Nash in New York. Together they unpack the thriving art scene in Accra and the growing global recognition of Ghanaian artists. They delve into the importance of the art school at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi as a site for the emergence of new collective practices, and the relationship between the global commercial art world and the more independent scene emerging in Ghana.

Shimmer, Rotterdam x Artspace Aotearoa, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland
Rotterdam | Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Join us for the first episode of OtherNetwork Conversations, where we visit Shimmer in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Shimmer is an exhibition space run with a studio-like mentality by artist Jason Hendrik Hansma and curator Eloise Sweetman, who invite Ruth Buchanan, director of Artspace Aotearoa in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland as their guest. Together we discuss the different approaches to founding a new art space versus inheriting one with a longstanding history, and the responsibilities a curator has to both artists and audiences.
