BOMB Magazine

For our year-end "Influences" series, we asked BOMB contributors to share something from a discipline outside their own that impacted them in 2022—everything from Game of Thrones to nature to haikus from friends.

Our round-up from our visual arts contributors include reflections from @frequentlyaskedquestion , Jessica Jackson Hutchins, @atelier.lj , @marcswanson , @maryymanningg , @melissajoseph_art , @calmatetupedo , @d__ent , and @stephentowns .

In an exclusive interview for BOMB's fall issue, the Ukrainian artist Dana Kavelina spoke to @olia_off and @monikafabijanska about 'Letter to a Turtledove,' her film on the eastern region of Donbas and the ramifications of war and violence from the early twentieth century. According to Kavelina, "in the history of Donbas, like in a crystal, we can see almost all the problems of today’s Ukraine." This clip is excerpted from the twenty-minute film.
