We Bad: From Murals to Capitalist Romanticism

Listen on

Guests of the episode are the art duo We Bad (Lera and Maksym), who have been working together since 2015 across street art, illustration, painting, and various creative formats. They share the story of their journey — from their first collaborative mural to large-scale commercial and artistic projects — and talk about favorite works such as the six-meter “grandpa in underwear,” the challenges of long-distance collaboration, audience reactions, and the impact of today’s visual overload. We also discuss their approach to balancing commerce with artistic vision, the role of art in dialogue with society, their experience digitizing their archive, and dreams of creating major art projects in postwar Ukraine.
