The publishing house tranzit.cz has just released a Czech translation of the memoir by New York author and psychologist hannah baer, trans girl suicide museum. In the ninth episode of the Raut podcast, we talk to painter Paula Gogola, whose work appears on the book cover, and to the author of the afterword, poet, director, and librettist Richard L. Kramár. We discuss the metaphor of the museum, identity politics, even queer opera. The book addresses the use of ketamine, a dissociative psychoactive substance popular among trans people, which is why we invited Dr. Eva Kozáková, who works as a therapist at the Psyon psychedelic clinic, specializing in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
Raut is an intersectional discussion podcast about contemporary art and culture produced by the tranzit.cz publishing house and initiative for contemporary art in collaboration with the online daily Alarm. The new series is moderated by Ester Grohová and Nela Pietrová and continues the debate on contemporary art from perspectives that might at first glance be unrelated to art or are on the margins of social discussion. The first series was released in 2021/22 and was moderated by Agáta Hrnčířová and Max Dvořák.
