The creative artist JAMES KHATI takes an interdisciplinary approach to various fields, mixing them in unexpected ways and breaking down boundaries and structures through innovative ideas. He detests pigeonholing; instead, it drives him to constantly explore new paths that have never been considered before, to try out new combinations, and to experiment. This results in magnificent works, whether streetart, design, sculptures, installations, music, performance, or film. For example, at the Purple Haze Rock Bar in Kathmandu, he created a piece in memory of Jimi Hendrix using 10.523 ping-pong balls, which is exactly the number of days the musician lived. We spoke with James Khati in an interview about his insteresting creations and his development as an artist. The podcast is online and a bigger article with photos will follow soon on https://vagabundler.com.

TARA HATAMI from Teheran began her creative journey in 2004, studying drawing for four years under Professor Farhad Gavzan. During that time, she explored a wide range of styles and techniques, building a strong foundation in art. Between 2008 and 2013, she focused closely on traditional media, especially colored pencil, developing both her technical skill and a disciplined approach to her practice. She later moved into digital art, working with character illustration and graphic design. Since 2015, Tara has been developing her own brand, BUDDHA CAT, creating digital illustrations and designs across different products and platforms. For her, art has always been a quiet and ongoing journey of learning and exploration. Her inspirations are rooted in nature, femininity, mythology, and traditional symbols. This year she was also part of the BHARATPUR STREETART FESTIVAL in Nepal and painted a great mural. We spoke to the versatile artist in an interview about her development as an artist, her projects and ideas. Listen in! An extensive article will follow soon on https://vagabundler.com/. You can already check out the report about the festival with many photos on https://vagabundler.com/nepal/bharatpur-streetart-festival/.

This episode marks the grand finale of our series on the URBANSTRIKERS. And, of course, the boss always saves the best for last! To wrap things up, we bring you an interview with the mastermind behind this legendary collective, this movement, and this idea. We sat down for a talk with GIGI, the founder of the URBANSTRIKERS. He tells us how it all began, how it has evolved, about great achievements and setbacks, but above all about the fantastic, heartfelt energy he carries within him. He is truly a good leader who touches people with his positive and motivating charisma, and this comes from his passion, from his heart. He is deeply an idealist and has dedicated this to the city, to urban culture, to people, to art, and to creativity. But above all, to freedom for everybody and open-mindedness. Listen to the interview - it’s online now. An in-depth reportage about the URBANSTRIKERS will follow soon on https://vagabundler.com/south-korea.

In this episode we have another exciting interview of our URBANSTRIKERS series from South-Korea. Piece by piece, you’ll get an interesting reportage about this awesome collective and movement. This time, we’re focusing on painting, drawing, and digital art, but also on emotions, the inner self and the dark parts of it. The amazing artist MOKI empathetically blends his emotions with his creativity, creating fantastic works of art. Sometimes gloomy and dark, sometimes colorful or chaotic - just as life and the emotional world are. The “mainstream” has always disgusted him; he wanted to do things differently, and why shouldn’t that be possible? In the URBANSTRIKERS, he has found exactly that kind of collective which addresses these issues in society and takes creative action against them. We spoke with MOKI about his idealism, his artistic concepts, and his works, as well as how he came to join the crew. The audio is now online, listen in!
