My next guest is an inspiring curator, artist, and activist from Belarus — someone who skillfully combines her artistic, journalistic, and psychological background to create powerful projects in social illustration and public art.

I’m talking about Elena Rabkina, whose work engages with themes of social justice, migration, ecology, and current political events.

What fascinates me about Elena’s practice is how she not only addresses urgent social issues but also designs innovative educational games — tackling complex topics such as cultural identity and navigating fake news.

In our conversation, we dive into pressing questions around burnout in the art world and education, and the importance of self-care for artists and educators alike. Elena also shares her personal educational journey in Belarusand gives us a vivid insight into her wide-ranging projects and initiatives in Berlin, painting a portrait of an artist-activist deeply engaged with the world around her.

In this episode of ARTASK, I speak with Rebecca Raue — a Berlin-based artist, educator, and the founder of Ephra, a non-profit organisation working at the intersection of art and education.

Rebecca collaborates with schools, museums, and cultural institutions to create environments where children can engage with art through dialogue, creativity, and democratic participation. In our conversation, I explore her personal journey into the arts, the mentors and experiences that shaped her, and the vision behind Ephra.

I talk with Rebecca about what meaningful art education for school-aged children can look like today — how we can nurture curiosity, critical thinking, and a sense of agency in young people as they navigate an increasingly complex world.

This episode was produced thanks to the KPO for Culture scholarship, funded by the National Recovery Plan, which allows me to continue developing ARTASK and creating space for conversations like this one.
