Podcast Description
The Dialogues Podcast Project is a podcast series produced by students from the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) programme at the HDK-Valand Academy – Art and Design, University of Gothenburg. Our podcasts are a platform for us and our invited researchers from the University of Gothenburg to engage in cross-disciplinary dialogues on issues central to our interests and practices. Each episode aims to foster meaningful dialogue, exploring diverse topics that resonate with both our artistic research and the wider community, such as mental health, surveillance capitalism, interspecies ecologies and affect theory.

This episode features a dialogue fragment with Professor Mick Wilson—Director of Doctoral Studies at HDK-Valand (University of Gothenburg) and co-chair of the Centre for Art and the Political Imaginary—reflecting on how an early encounter with art created a ”space of exception” beyond known limits. This dialogue is a shared reflective practice that invites you to join, using Wilson’s story and Gomez’s own as departure points to consider your formative aesthetic experiences and how they shaped your relation to art, learning, and possibility.
