Critical Bounds host Nicole Bearden speaks with artist BIBIANA [Medkova] about the role of capitalism and militarization in current events, and how they influence artistic practice. We speak about cultural exchange over time, if queerness in contemporary art upholds traditional gazes, and the consumption of "Othered" bodies for commercialization.
