Live from Hamburger Bahnhof: Lina Lapelytė

Recorded at the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, this episode explores music, poetry, and performance with Lina Lapelytė. The artist and composer transformed the Bahnhof’s historic hall into a site for worldbuilding, gathering 400,000 wooden blocks and a chorus of Berliners to create the CHANEL Commission. On the cusp of Berlin Gallery Weekend, the Golden Lion-winning artist connected with Yana Peel, President of Arts, Culture & Heritage at CHANEL for a live conversation. The two discuss eclectic inspirations—from Lithuanian folk traditions to German electronic music and the poetry of Ocean Vuong—and reflect on the magic of making something, together, in our digital age.
