We are mixing it up this episode bringing back our previous guest Hueviews to and transforming her from interviewee to interviewer to speak to OONA.

We thought this concept would bring a different perspective and make for a really interesting conversation, we were right 😂🤭 Huge thanks to both Hueviews and OONA for this one.

OONA explores various themes around art, identity, performance, and challenges in the crypto art space, as well as societal and gender issues.

Key Topics 1) OONA's Identity 2) Origins and Inspiration 3) OONA's Symbolism and Performance Art 4) Performance Pieces 5) Themes of Consent and Feminine Agency 6) Tech and Blockchain Integration 7) Upcoming Projects and Collaborations 8) Social Impact and Advocacy

Key Points of Interest Unique Performance Methods: OONA employs unconventional approaches like masking, live interactions, and unexpected venues (e.g., basketball courts, art fairs) to challenge traditional art norms and provoke reactions from audiences.

Gender and Power Dynamics: OONA's interactions with men in the crypto space often unveil underlying power struggles and societal biases, which she critiques through humour and bold actions.

Artistic Process and Philosophy: OONA's work reflects a blend of raw improvisation and carefully crafted themes, with each performance designed to create spontaneous, real interactions that challenge societal norms.

Innovative Use of NFT and Blockchain: By integrating blockchain with art, OONA's projects often include audience participation that's documented and "tokenised," which allows each performance to exist as a collectible piece, further pushing the boundaries of what art and interaction can mean in the Web3 era.

This conversation presents a thought-provoking conversation on how performance art can act as a powerful medium for social critique and explores the complexities of identity and body politics in contemporary art and crypto spaces. OONA's performances and her unfiltered storytelling reveal the provocative, often humorous, and always insightful nature of her work.
