Greetings everyone,
Thanks for checking in once more with the Lumieres podcast. I deeply appreciate your attention, such a rare and priceless commodity as it is these days.
On today's episode my guest is Martin Thomas – aka Mahdi Mu – artist and chief co-conspirator in all things Zu. From it's foundation as an artists collective it evolved to a performance space and community hub. Having sadly closed their doors for the last time in 2016, Martin and the Zu team spent some time consolidating and are back this year with their new baby, the Zutopia Festival!
In this conversation, Martin joins the dots from his own creative beginnings as a woodworker and space designer through to putting on parties, finding his feet in the festival world, co-founding Zu Studios to the current challenges of organising and staging the first Zu festival.
We also dipped into some deeper realms on the subjects of ancestry, traditions and culture and the wave of Zuvuya we are all surfing at this time. I do hope you enjoy it and I thank Martin once more for his time and generosity in sharing his life and his stories.
catch you next time folks,
Jody
