Episode 5: Care and collective cultural work with artist-run organisation Rhubaba
Broadcast Live on 18 May 2020
Guests: Khadea Kuchenmeister, Siobhan Scott and Laura Tully
In this episode we listen back to a podcast we made on 30 October 2019 with the committee members of the artist-run studios and gallery Rhubaba in Edinburgh. The podcast like the ones we have held live, these past weeks, focuses on questions of care within the context of their work and featured in their exhibition ‘Only Nothing’. After playing the clip which last about 20 minutes we are joined by current members of Rhubaba, Siobhan, Khadea and Laura who will reflect on some of the discussions raised last year and how these have been further exposed and shifted in this current moment.
