We are pleased to announce our podcast ‘Left to be Desired’ is now live. In episode 2 of Left to be Desired, Maja and Reuben Fowkes converse with Uzbek artist Saodat Ismailova about the turbulent legacies of the Soviet transformation of Central Asia.
Left to be Desired is available to listen to on Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible, Apple Podcasts and Audacy. You can also access it via the podcast website: https://lefttobedesired.libsyn.com/site
Left to be Desired podcast explores the distinctiveness of the socialist path through the Anthropocene by bringing together artistic and scholarly insights into the ecologies of global Socialism. Maja & Reuben Fowkes will invite artists and researchers to talk about their practice and exchange ideas at the intersection of ecology, climate change, art and the Socialist Anthropocene.
Saodat Ismailova grew up in post-Soviet Uzbekistan and is now based in Tashkent and Paris. Ismailova’s filmography addresses themes of national memory, women’s sovereignty, ritualism and mortality. In 2021 she founded Davra a research group devoted to the study, documentation and dissemination of Central Asian culture. In 2022 her work was selected for both the Venice Biennale and Documenta. Thank you to Saodat Ismailova for joining us! This podcast is edited by Sammara Abbasi.
