    #30 Art and the City - Mathilde Freund with Akilah Watts, Alanis Forde & Anna Gibson

    In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with three talented Barbadian artists: Alanis Forde, Akilah Watts, and Anna Gibson. They are featured in the group exhibition Arcadia: Often Dreamt, Seldom Lived at the Verena Kerfin Gallery this June 2025. Through their vibrant and evocative works, these artists explore the Black Barbadian experience, offering a glimpse into the beauty and complexity of their island. Rooted in ancestral heritage yet responsive to fast social and environmental change, their art reflects both the dreams and the realities of Barbados — a paradise often idealized, but not fully understood by foreigners. Together, we dive into their creative journeys, their inspirations, and the messages behind their work. We discuss the art scene in Barbados, the challenges they face, and how each of them has developed a unique and authentic visual language. Listen to a powerful conversation on identity, culture, and the role of art in expressing both beauty and struggle.

We take a look behind the scenes of her creative process: What materials and techniques does she use, and what role do emotions and intuition play? Cat also gives exciting insights into how her art has developed over the years, what messages she wants to convey with her works and how she invites the audience to find their own interpretations. Finally, we look at her current projects and her plans for the future.

    #25 BARK AND THE GANG - Uli Seibert und Magdalena Piech

    Magdalena Piech sitzt bei unserem Podcast mit einem Dog Collar vor mir, eine zarte, entrückte Gestalt, scheu und selbstbewusst zugleich mit einem faszinierenden Funkeln in den Augen und in vollständiger Harmonie mit ihrer Kunst. Sie macht Fetischkunst, meist mit schwarzem Kohlestift, große Formate, wunderschöne, elegante, schlanke Körper in Latex gehüllt, Licht-Reflexionen, die Gesichter vollständig maskiert. Und das Ganze hat nicht das geringste von plumper Pornographie, hat nichts zu tun mit direktem Sex oder Gewalt, hier geht es um reine fetischisierte, träumerische Erotik, vollendete Ästhetik in mysteriösen, reinen Gesten. Was ist Fetisch? Die erotische Aufladung von Gegenständen, von entpersönlichten Personen. Tauche ein in unser Gespräch.
