Between Mothers with Larysa Bauge
# 69 – performance and live artist from Belarus, Larysa Bauge in a new series of Kitchen Conversations episodes devoted to mothers and motherhood in the arts.
Can motherhood and art truly coexist? Can parenting be seen as cool in the art world? What are the taboos we still don’t talk about? And ultimately, how can we make the art world a better place for mothers and parents?
As Larysa describes, her performances are full of blood, tears, and sweat—as befits an artist from Eastern Europe. An honest conversation about the bodily, physical, and mental effort it takes to be a mother—labor that’s so often simplified or diminished to quote Larysa “Oh, she’s just a stay-at-home mom.”

Ilja Aviarjanaŭ - Taiwanese Oolong and Eastern Slavic rap music
# 67 – in conversation with Belarusian cultural entrepreneur and XianCha Tea founder, Ilja Aviarjanaŭ.
A cozy living room chat with Ilja Aviarjanaŭ, the creator of XianCha Tea — a tea shop dedicated to promoting Taiwanese tea culture across Germany and Europe. This episode explores the surprising connection between Oolong and rap music in Eastern Slavic countries.
The podcast begins with a calming tea ritual led by Ilja, setting the tone for a deep and reflective dive into his passion for tea and the beginnings of his healing journey through tea drinking and supportive community. Along the way, we talk about tea clubs — perhaps the successors to Soviet kvartirniki — as spaces for tea events and rituals, and for some a safe environment to process collective trauma and find connection, especially in these precarious and uncertain times.
