Episode 35 - PQ 2019 Nations

\\n
Hello everyone and welcome to this latest episode of the podcast.
\\nI am finally home from both The Prague Quadrennial and Stage Set Scenery Event in Berlin, Germany.
\\nI would like to give a big shout out to everyone who organized, participated and put their time and effort into making it happen. A lot of praise should go to the many members of the PQ Team, Interns, Ambassadors, Curators and volunteers.
\\nOn this episode of the podcast, I tried to capture some of the essence of what PQ was as I experienced it. I took the opportunity during the event to talk to some of the national and regional presenters from or near the floor of the show.
\\nI was not able to talk to everyone unfortunately. For some it was a language barrier while for others it was that they didn't feel confident talking about the work and referred me to another person. Scheduling was also difficult. This was a learning experience for me and I need to work on being better prepared for some of the logistical hoops I needed to get through. I am extremely grateful to the representatives from the national countries I was able to speak with and I hope that this and the following podcast helps show how really connected we are through art, expression, thoughts and ideas. Each interview is its own segment, so if wish to listen to them all or one at a time.
