Hello! We are back with a new episode! This time, Zazie, Unnur, and Dasha sit down to talk about Algerian artist Baya Mahieddine and, of course, about her art. Fruitful discussion raised various issues about colonization and its effects, Western canon and approach to art history as well as a position of a female Algerian painter in such a eurocentric discourse.
Stay tuned for the next episodes! :)
