In today’s broadcast we visit the Thyssen Museum video installation “Of Whales” by American artist Wu Tsang in the company of Valencia-based Lithuanian jazz singer and composer Viktorija Pilatovic, who also contemplates and gives us her impressions of one of the all-time great self-portraits to be found hanging in the Thyssen.  And we hear music from Pilatovic’s new fourth album, “Skybridges,” along with her comments on some of the tracks.  Preceding the art and music is a newscast followed by a report from our Middle East correspondent Elsa Yazbek on the Samir Kassir Awards For Freedom of the Press, announced earlier this month in Beirut.
