2021 will be looked back as a historic year for Coventry and this episode I speak to some of the people behind Coventry 2021.

After being awarded UK City of Culture in 2017, we are currently halfway through a year of events and community projects which have looked to put Coventry on the cultural map.

In this episode, I speak to Chenine Bhathena, Creative Director of Coventry City of Culture Trust about the vision of the 2021 programme, some highlights of the past six months plus a look forward to what's still to come. 

I also speak to Molly Adkins, Producer, South East, Collaborative City about some of the projects that have been delivered so far and the impact COVID has had on the 2021 programme.

Finally, I speak to local creative, Roze Navab who tells me about the Coventry Twin Studios Project project and how the Trust has supported local creatives.
