Art World: Whitehot Magazine with Noah Becker

Guest host Kofi Fosu Forson talks with Jenna Basso Pietrobon, a multidisciplinary artist skilled in a variety of mediums including, painting, sculpture, architecture, design, performance and activism. Pietrobon shares with the Whitehot Art World audience her revolutionizing of the mystery of fate, art and destiny. How a trip back to her grandparents home of Nove di Bassano in Italy changed the course of her art platform. Currently based in Paris, she touches on her experience in New York working in a patriarchal system. How trauma from that broadened her activism for women silenced, and oppressed in hope of gender equality. Central in her art experience is how she manages recovery from trauma in an activist and art-making role, building on a form of inclusivity with the involvement of artisans in her art-making process.

Guest host, Whitehot's Kofi Fosu Forson talks with Goth Arts and Culture by LAS (a pseudonym for the British artist), a designer and musician who identifies as "Goth", known as the title for people from that particular musical subculture. Normalizing her identity as common to any other human being, she discusses the origin of the Visigoths and Medieval architecture. How her use of artifacts broadens our known human history, further comprised in her love of science. Her sense of "do it yourself" gives her an origin of individuality beyond the narrowing scope present in modern culture.
