How do groundbreaking ideas emerge? And moreover: where are the seeds sown that allow them to grow? In the Brainwash Hindsights, we learn more about the artists, writers, scientists, and philosophers appearing at Brainwash Festival: how were their ideas shaped, and what places play a role in their lives and thinking? Hosts Shula Tas and Vanessa Ackah take the time with them to look both back and forward—offering an open and intimate behind-the-scenes look.
