ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Welcome to Articulated! I'm your host Youki. Articulated explores the intersection between art and politics, an unexpected confluence of two topics that has been overlooked by many, but nonetheless salient in today's political climate. Through investigating historical artworks and hosting exciting guests on our show, we hope to break the stigma that learning about art is too "abstract" or even "elitist," but something that accurately reflects current societal themes that give clues to living in these unprecedented times. To more berets and existential crises!
