The second episode of Staging Cities looks at retail palaces and cultural icons over a conversation with writer Alia Trabucco Zerán, shortlisted for the 2019 Man Booker International Prize for her novel The Remainder (La Resta), and artist Bedwyr Williams, whose work was exhibited at Barbican Art Gallery, London, Whitworth ArtGallery, Manchester, and Tramway, Glasgow, among many other institutions.

Staging Cities is a new podcast from Theatrum Mundi, looking at ideas on the intersection of stagecraft, architecture and urban planning. We are borrowing from the toolkit of theatre-making to think about city-making. These new podcasts accompany a series of books we are working on with nai010 publishers from Rotterdam.

Hosted by Marta Michalowska, Theatrum Mundi
