not the moment.

A Conversation with Artist, Actress and Storyteller Eva Bartels
She lives in a falling-apart castle in Amsterdam. She made a VR film about Gestalt therapy, she's writing a solo piece about Leonora Carrington, and she has a list of 40 things that make her feel well. Eva Bartels is multiple people in one body — maybe even some animals too.
WRITER ANDREW BERARDINI
He is only ever and truly a writer. Other things slip in — curator, editor, teacher — but they all filter through the magic of words. Andrew Berardini has penned essays for sci-fi pagan witches and queer geniuses, co-curated Estonia's Venice Pavilion, and tracked 110 shades of colour through memory and art history. We asked him about icons. He said we should smash them all. We asked about wellbeing. He said: more love, less fear. Joy.
“Visibility has never been our measure of significance. We seek out artists and inspiring individuals whose work sparks curiosity, challenges assumptions, and leaves a lasting impression.”
