Islands of freedom in communist Czechoslovakia - Libuše Jarcovjáková

#51 - in conversations with Czech photographer and educator, Libuše Jarcovjáková.  Her distinctive work was first shown to a wide audience at Les Rencontres d'Arles in 2019, when Libuše was already in her 60s. Since then, her black and white analogue photographs depicting islands of freedom in a grey, communist Czechoslovakia have attracted much international attention. As a tribute to Libuše's work, Czech filmmaker Klára Tasovská has created a film based on her photographs and diary entries entitled 'I'm Not Everything I Want to Be', which has just premiered at this 74th Berlinale Film Festival.  ___ References: I'm Not Everything I Want to Be by Klára Tasovská Artist website Les Rencontres d'Arles 2019 T-Club book Favourite home food: Traditional Japanese Ramen ___ Buy me a coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/kitchenconversations Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/kitchenconversations  Visit shop: https://www.etsy.com/de-en/shop/PatrycjaRozwora?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=1398125905&from_page=listing Get in touch: https://www.instagram.com/kitchenconversations.podcast/  ___ This interview was made possible with the help of Kai Hermann/ NOISE Film&TV Recording & editing: Patrycja Rozwora Mix & master: Jonas Kröper
