About this episode

Anastasia Samoylova discusses her experiences as a Russian artist in America and her artistic perspective shaped by Florida and Walker Evans.

In this episode, I talk with Anastasia Samoylova about navigating America as a Russian artist and building her work from the unlikely vantage point of Florida—a place that often feels like a microcosm of the country itself. We discuss displacement, cultural distance, and how her connection with the work of Walker Evans has sharpened her perspective on the American landscape.
