About Gisela Williams
When you subscribe to w-report you are getting the freshest and most plugged-in news and opinions from the world of travel and culture. You are drawing from the know-how and knowledge of two always-on-the-move journalists and their farflung network of travel and art insiders.
For 25 years Gisela Williams and Antje Wewer have been exploring the far corners of the world, searching out the most extraordinary people and places for some of the world’s top publications.
They will go the extra mile, literally: Williams has traveled to remote monasteries in Korea with the American chef David Chang to eat Buddhist temple food; taken boats, planes and automobiles to Francis Mallmann’s tiny private island in Patagonia; explored Chiang Mai’s art scene with Rirkrit Tiravanija; and made a pilgrimage to a remote village on the Indonesian island of Flores to view multi-colored volcanic lakes and an art installation from the Swiss artist Not Vital.
Wewer has traveled to Colomé, Argentina to talk about light and volcanos with the artist James Turell, slept in King Charle’s remote guesthouse in Transylvania, and journeyed to Fogo Island Inn to experience its architecture first hand and meet Zita Cobb, the visionary behind the Inn and Fogo Island Arts, the residency-based contemporary art venue for artists, filmmakers, writers, musicians, curators, designers, and thinkers from around the world.
Starting in July 2023 the w-ladies will be launching first a monthly and then, in September, a bi-weekly newsletter, much of it exclusive, that they promise will serve up incredibly juicy, exceptional travel content with a spicy side of contemporary culture.
