Adéola Ọlágúnjú and Tobias Zielony, her mentor in the field Still Images, Loud Voices, were able to meet in person for a work-stay in Berlin in early March and finally engage with her work in face-to-face conversations. Together, they visited radialsystem, the venue for the hybrid Forecast Festival in April, to make crucial decisions about the work’s site-specific presentation.
Forecast’s program includes several key milestones in which the mentor and mentee meet in person and workshop the mentee’s project. But due to the Covid-19 pandemic, most of the participants in Forecast's fifth edition have only met digitally. We sat down with Ọlágúnjú and Zielony for a socially-distanced interview to hear how they've experienced the program so far, despite the unusual circumstances of the mentoring process.
