Step into our Yurt and join us for a monthly conversation on Europe-Central Asia developments. In these series of podcasts EUCAM welcomes guests from both regions to discuss exciting new research and the latest developments in Europe and Central Asia. Guests range from academics to policymakers and from journalists to civil society activists. What is happening in Europe that Central Asians should know about? What events are unfolding in Central Asia that Europeans should understand? Together, we discuss society trends, political developments, and economic turns while assessing the past and looking ahead to what may unfold.

In the eighth episode Yelena Kilina hosts Sonya Imin, who is a mixed Uyghur American PhD researcher, artist and filmmaker focusing on Uyghur artistic production in the diaspora. The discussion revolves around one of the recent projects, a Contemporary Uyghur Anthology: "Under the Mulberry Tree," which is a collection of art, poetry and prose that made its debut last year and was released again earlier this spring.
