New Podcast Episode Out Now! - NATOarts - Art is War
What does an experimental electronic record from the 90’s have to do with NATO? And what does it have in common with a group of Russian artists painting landscapes in disputed Japanese territory?
I’ve gone down a bit of a rabbit hole today about propaganda, world-building in music, and the role art plays in politics. Enjoy.
