In Dialogue Season 2

In Dialogue is a talent-scouting media platform where emerging young talent introduces themselves to the Dutch arts and culture sector, as well as to enthusiasts.

In a series of interviews, curator and program maker Claudio Ritfeld engages in conversation with young artists who demonstrate exceptional talent.
While many media outlets focus on interviewing “successful” or “established” artists, it is the ambition of CBK Zuidoost to bring final-year students or recent graduates to the table.

The concept of this podcast is to invite the guest back to the table several years after the first conversation for a reflective interview.
In the second conversation, starting from 2028, answers from the first interview will be revisited.
In this way, CBK Zuidoost remains in dialogue with the artist or maker regarding the developments in their career and artistic practice.

Season 2:

Episode 1: Gabriella Okoobo: Living Between Two Worlds

Gabriella Okoobo (1997) is a documentary photographer and visual artist with Nigerian roots. Her work exists at the intersection of personal and collective memory, migration, and cultural identity. Her work also explores how movement and (dis)attachment shape our sense of belonging. Using a research-oriented approach, she utilizes self-portraits, performance, and mixed media to explore these themes and create layered meanings.

Episode 2: Pip Greenaway: Like a fish in water

Pip Greenaway (2000, Amsterdam) is an artist working with video, installation, and performance. With a background in theater and film, she creates multi-channel video and sound works combined with architectural elements. She writes and directs each installation herself, creating environments that explore how our desires and collective narratives are shaped and supported by social and commercial systems. Greenaway received the Lakeside Artist in Residence Award at Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam and the Heden Startprijs.

Episode 3: Glenelys Josefina: Coming to Terms With Yourself

For several years, Glenelys Josefina has worked with dedication on projects featuring themes such as identity, culture, power, mystery, femininity, and Black culture. Her graduation project Hair Power, which focuses on coily hair and its celebration, has been presented at the Betweter Festival in Tivoli and was exhibited in 2025 during Dutch Design Week and at Utrecht City Hall. In addition to photography, she develops objects and masks and experiments with film, often in combination with photographic imagery. Her greatest dream for the future is to pursue collaborations with brands such as Daily Paper and international labels like Nike and Gucci.
