While re-visiting the apartment of her childhood, spent in Soviet Belarus, Los Angeles-based artist Yelena Zhelezov talks to people who experienced a border change, either in name or territory. What is it like to live in the shadow of a disappeared country, a missing definition? What happens to the sense of place and belonging? Are there déjà vus? What remains?

On Feeling Both Foreign and At Home with Julie Sadowski

Julie Sadowski is an artist currently based in Warsaw. Her parents immigrated to the United States to escape the Soviet Bloc in the early 1980’s; shortly after Julie was born in Boston, USSR collapsed and the Sadowskis moved back to Poland. The episode covers the longing to be in two places – two homes – at once. Does feeling foreign ever end? Listen in for notes on immigrating cars, haunting architecture, and evocative bricks and find out why some Polish-Americans sent toothpaste to their Polish relatives in 2008.
