About the Episode:

The new video podcast episode hosted by Cat & MELO (that's us) dives into the incredible evolution of collage, from iconic movements like cubism, Dadaism, surrealism, and pop art, to the bold analog and digital creations we see today. Trust me, this one’s a feast for your creative soul! @CatalystEcho and I will be in chat during the premiere. Join us to share ideas, ask questions, and connect with other creatives in real time! 🎭 We also took on a super fun Cohost Challenge where Catalyst and I created portrait collages of each other, using a random object we picked for each other! ​Plus, there’s a special #ArtInqMe artist prompt...
