CHANEL Connects, the flagship arts and culture podcast, returns with a series of conversations recorded live around the world. From LACMA in Los Angeles to Berlin’s Hamburger Bahnhof and Fondation Beyeler in Basel, Season 6 connects pioneers across cities and disciplines to discuss what inspires them today and excites them about tomorrow. The new season features Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter alongside globally renowned artists Sarah Sze, Julie Mehretu, David Salle, and Linder Sterling, as well as some of the most exciting names emerging today: choreographer Andrea Peña, designer Bárbara Sánchez-Kane, and artists Ayoung Kim, Emeka Ogboh, and Pol Taburet—all winners of the CHANEL Next Prize. Presented by Yana Peel, President of Arts, Culture & Heritage at CHANEL, new episodes are released weekly from July 14.
