In this episode, we’re delighted to bring you a wonderful conversation between Daniela Galan and Panama-based visual artist Donna Conlon. A profoundly insightful artist, Donna describes her own work as a socio-archaeological inquiry into my immediate surroundings. She uses her previous training as a biologist to highlight, through her art, the beauty and poetry that exists in everyday life.Donna talks about her experience of being a migrant artist - what it means to leave your home to create a new home and life elsewhere; her micro obsessions with diverse aspects of the natural world, from birds to ants; her collaborative works with Jonathan Harker and much more.

Conlon participated in the 51st Venice Biennale of 2005; has works in the permanent collections of the Guggenheim and the Tate, amongst other institutions; and more recently, has been included in Phaidon's book Latin American Artists from 1785 fo Now. We hope you enjoy this enriching conversation
