From Live Broadcasts to a Podcast: Introducing Our New Format
Anna Avetova
What began as a series of informal live broadcasts has now evolved into something more substantial. We're excited to introduce the next chapter of The UFDA Podcast, a full-fledged podcast now available on YouTube and Apple Podcasts.
Our guests include artists, photographers, performers, curators, and educators, voices shaping the future of Ukrainian culture through action, reflection, and resistance.
Episode 1 — now live, and our first guest is Alya Segal, art historian, curator, and co-founder of the Kruchi apartment gallery. We discuss local curation, horizontal archives, and the evolving role of artists in times of crisis.
Who's next?
The first season features raw, urgent, and honest conversations with some of the most influential voices shaping Ukrainian contemporary culture, including Maria Isserlis, Vitalii Kravets, Sofiia Holubeva, Ksenia Malykh, Petro Bevza, Sergiy Melnychenko, Sana Shahmuradova, Leonid Marushchak, and others.
Over the past months, our conversations with artists, curators, and cultural workers have become more profound, intimate, and relevant. We realized that these voices deserved more than just fleeting livestreams; they needed to be archived, accessible, and shared with a broader audience.
Each episode captures a unique artistic perspective from inside and outside Ukraine:
- How artists navigate war, displacement, and institutional collapse
- How they build new formats, communities, and strategies from scratch
- How they continue to create, despite everything
You can now listen to all episodes on your favorite platform — and more are on the way.
This new format enables us to deliver you better sound quality, deeper context, and broader reach without compromising the honesty and urgency that made our broadcasts so compelling in the first place.
Subscribe, listen, and share. The conversation continues, and this time, it's on record.
