How to Humanise Data with Federica Fragapane
In the latest episode of Art Persists, we speak to information designer Federica Fragapane. We talk to Federica about her work, humanising data by unpacking it in creative, organic forms. From visualising the number of civilians killed in Gaza, to showing European attitudes to immigration, or the silencing of environmental activists in Brazil, Federica's work manages to evoke empathy and understanding by bringing hard data to life through art. The Art Persists Podcast is independently run by Bosla Arts' small team (Georgia & Faz). If you are enjoying the podcast, please support us via Patreon!

Bodies as Tools of Resistance with Feminist Collective LASTESIS
We launch Season 6 of Art Persists with Chilean feminist collective LASTESIS. We chat to Sibila Sotomayor Van Rysseghem and Daffne Valdés Vargas from the collective about their work, using performance and video art to unpack feminist texts and to challenge global patriarchy and its impact on women and the LGBTQI+ community. Sibilia and Daffne discuss some of their most important works including Un violador en tu camino (a rapist in your path) - a performance that went viral and was replicated by different groups in over 50 countries.

Chef Sami Tamimi Tells the Story of the Palestinian People through Food
We chat to Sami Tamimi about his life growing up in East Jerusalem where he became interested in cooking after working in a hotel at the age of 17. His career took off when he moved first to Tel Aviv before settling permanently in London. Sami talks about the making of his cookbook, Falastin, which explores contemporary Palestinian food and tells the story of the Palestinians he met along the way.
