Art & Artisans

Art transcends borders and generations, emerging from ancient traditions and unexpected spaces. Samantha explores how artists preserve cultural heritage while redefining art today—from a WWII bunker museum in Berlin and Indigenous ghost-net weaving in Australia to neon tube bending along Route 66, artist colonies in former factories, flamenco improvisation, and more.
