Today’s interview is with the artist Nini Sum. We talk about her life and work as the co-founder of IdleBeats, the first independent screen print studio in China, as well as her take on artistic expression and the arts scene in general in China. 

You’ll notice straight away that she has a very hypnotic way of talking, so this episode should be a nice, slow and relaxing one.
