#NewInterview: "It’s hard to comment on the impact of my work. I hold it so close and put my heart and soul into it but after it has gone out into the world, I don’t really feel like I own it. If even one person gets something from it, I am grateful."

NEW INTERVIEW: "I absolutely love the democratisation of art – no barrier to an artist putting their work out there and speaking directly to an audience without needing approval from any third party." - Baby Guerrilla thefloatingmagazine.com/peop…
"Artists are also turning to social media sites such as Artfol, ArtStation and Bubblehouse, which are all specifically designed for creatives to showcase their work." theguardian.com/technology/2…

"I was locked for 2 months alone in my apartment in NYC. One of the things I’ve learnt through this confinement is that I want to use whatever budget, time, and art resources I have to solve the problems and ease the situation of those who are suffering." thefloatingmagazine.com/peop…

We asked Lahore-based visual artist Heraa Khan to tell us how has 2020 been for her so far, especially in terms of the works she has been creating. And she sent us this beautiful letter: thefloatingmagazine.com/jour…
"I have four sisters and one brother, and we spent our childhood together during the Iran-Iraq war. Those years were tough and odd, giving us a paradoxical sensation of fear and pleasure." - Homa Delvaray thefloatingmagazine.com/peop…
“Humor really is an extension of my personality – I love joking and making fun of things, so it’s only natural that it would end up in my work.” - Samantha Rothenberg thefloatingmagazine.com/peop…

"I love the pre-social media internet where I could just look at sites and learn something new. There was a way you could have a limit to what you were seeing as there was no concept of unlimited feed, likes, social approval, and acceptance." - @kohlakult

"Being vocal about things that affect me is a compulsion for me, and it’s how I figure out my own thoughts. I have also been silenced a lot in the past on speaking out on things, so this feels like a welcome release." - @kohlakult thefloatingmagazine.com/peop…
