#talkaboutvideoart ODRA has interviewed the members of Roi, an all-female art collective from Russia, which emerged from MMOMA Free Workshops. Their art reflects female identity, Russian traditions and the peculiarities of how residents of a multicultural megapolis interact with nature and the outside world. Roi shared with ODRA their perspectives of video art and how they support and inspire each other in troubled times. Anna Butenko said, 'We ask ourselves each time discussing the video - what is the point of making this or that particular art as a group and not alone?
