In this episode of FEEL SEEN Space, we sit down with Giorgia Basch, curator, publisher, art director, and founder of BilderAtlas, for a deeply reflective conversation about images, freedom, feminism, and the long-term responsibilities of cultural work.

Giorgia shares her journey from fashion art direction to independent publishing and curation, and explains why stepping away from commercial systems allowed her to reclaim authorship, slowness, and care. Through books, exhibitions, and future gallery spaces, BilderAtlas becomes a platform for intentional image-making and feminist visibility.

Hosted by Roxanne Doucet and Sara Van Pée, we explore:

· Moving from fashion and advertising to building a values-led curatorial practice

· Working with iconic artists like Larry Fink and honoring legacies such as Pippa Garner and Bibi Tomasi

· Why photobooks are “portable exhibitions” fostering intimacy with images

· The ethics of publishing, collectability, and choosing small-scale, intentional production

· Feminism as a lived practice (not an ideology) and its influence on curatorial choices

· Championing and highlighting the visibility of women artists

· Trust, mentorship, and one-to-one relationships as foundations for creative life

· Learning to leave toxic environments and reclaim freedom through independent work

· Curating with intuition, slowness, and future-oriented thinking

This episode is a conversation about care, authorship, and being seen: by yourself, your collaborators, and your community. A must-listen for curators, artists, publishers, and anyone seeking a more intentional and sustainable way of working with images.
