My Beautiful Stories

'We’d started East, taking the DLR to the first of a series of events for the London Open House weekend.

We had traversed the city by foot, on the river bank, imagining life in a river boat, garden on the roof, sun loungers folded neatly at the side, a pandemonium of flower pots hanging from each window. '
Today's episode, initiated by the story of a lost pink unicorn, includes a discussion on the spaces we live in. We ask who our buildings and shared spaces  are designed for, who is excluded from our designed environment, and what effect this has on the communities who live there. 

This is EPISODE 3 of series 4 – The Series of Things.
This new series is called: THE STORIES OF THINGS and it features  stories of  those things that are meaningful in our lives.

We would love for this series to be collaborative, and we invite you to bring your stories to the fold!
Please share the stories of those things that are not just things here or send me an Instagram message.

'As a child, I heard about the tall rock my grandmother used to live on, at the edge of the sea. I heard of the waves, crashing onto the shore, of their unmistakable sound, of the salt in the nostrils and the grilled fish for supper. '

SHOW NOTES: EPISODE 2 of series 4 - The Series of Things.

STORY:

Today's story tells of the few scarcity of belongings kept by my migrant grandparents.

DISCUSSION:

We ask what else migrants leave behind, apart from country, culture and sometimes family. Our discussion concludes with a meditation on what we possibly gain from forming connections with the migrant communities.

RECOMMENDATION:

This episode's recommendation is another film: THE WEEPING MEADOW which tells the story of a migrant community and also, of the harshness of war and all that war takes with it. The film is aesthetically pleasing, each frame is perfectly constructed and curated to the most minute details.

'Holding inside her the secret pattern for the carpet, she would weave each thread gently in and gently out, through hard wired vertical, thick weft thread, stopping from time to time to align them . Sometimes the shed stick, the wooden stick separating threads, would drop, the tension in the thread would be lost, and words would pass, or would they retrieve their work peacefully and resolutely?'
Welcome to episode 1 of series 4 - The Series of Things.
This new series is called: The Stories of Things and it aims to feature  stories of  those things that are meaningful in our lives – those things that we have kept, that we have carried with us from house to house, the things that we do not remove easily from our possession.

We would love for this series to be collaborative, and we invite you to bring your stories to the fold! 
Please share the stories of those things that are not just things on the website or in an Instagram message.

EPISODE 30 - I am the sun that rises and sets

Welcome to our month-long 2021 PLANET PROJECT SERIES. On the 22nd of April 2020,  During the hardest lockdown, over 300 podcasters, artists and writers joined hands virtually and created one piece of digital work each, in a united effort to recreate impact and influence of the 1989 Baltic Chain.  We called the event the PLANET PROJECT. The impact of the project was so great and the work created so powerful, that I wanted to recreate the hope and sense of community we all felt on that day, by narrating some of the written pieces on the podcast this year.

During our DAILY PODCAST SERIES IN APRIL, you can enjoy listening to one artist’s thoughts about the Earth – our Planet, each day. Some of the pieces are narrated by me, and some by the artist themselves. At the end of each piece you will hear the artist’s name. You will be able to find each artist’s website and social media handles underneath each episode. I hope you enjoy this series.
