Adrian Dunbar is co-curator of the Beckett Unbound Festival that takes place in various venues across Liverpool this weekend and sees him directing Beckett's radio play All That Fall in a disused reservoir in total darkness. He explains why he thinks Samuel Beckett is an incomparable writer whose appeal never fades. As two new exhibitions about Edgar Degas open at different ends of the UK, Nick looks at the importance and impact of this French Impressionist artist with Pippa Stephenson-Sit, the curator of Discovering Degas on now at the Burrell Collection in Glasgow and with Anne Robbins, the curator of Discover Degas & Miss La La, which opens at the National Gallery in London on June 6th. Anne is now curator of paintings at the Musée d'Orsay.The Biafran war, 1967 - 1970, was the first major conflict in post-colonial Africa, and when images of starving Biafran children with distended bellies began to be seen in the West, the modern humanitarian aid industry was launched. Award-winning novelist Chigozie Obioma has turned to the Biafran War for his new novel, The Road To The Country, which takes the reader to the front lines of the ferocious military confrontation.Presenter: Nick Ahad Producer: Ekene Akalawu

This episode's FAQ is: How do I know what to pack? Today's Destination is Glasgow, Scotland Today's Mistake- Bee stings  Travel Advice:  Limit yourself to one book   FAQ: How do I know what to pack?   Answer: It's a common question, so let's tackle it.   Look at the weather forecast for the city where you are going. Consider the types of activities you plan to do. Remember, you can always buy, rent, or even borrow from someone when you get there in case you don't have the right items packed. For example, I bought an umbrella in Vietnam on my around-the-world trip. It was the best $3.00 spent because it kept me dry, shaded me from the sun, and was a wind protector for the next 12 weeks. Whether you pack an umbrella or not can depend on your destination. Traveling as light as possible will free you from many things you don't know about now. Even the most seasoned travelers have faced this question, so you are not alone. Today's destination: Glasgow, Scotland If you're interested in art and history, you won't be disappointed in Glasgow. The city has many museums and galleries, including the Hunterian Art Gallery, which is a must-see. You can also visit the Glasgow Cathedral, one of the most famous buildings in the city. For a taste of the outdoors, head to Pollok Country Park and the Burrell Collection, which are on the South Side, southwest of the center. You might need to take a city bus or two to get there, but it's well worth it. I took a train back to Glasgow, as the station was near the area I was heading next.       Today's Mistake- I had two nasty bee stings   Try to avoid a bee sting. or two, and remember that bees help pollinate our crops and gardens.   Today's Travel Advice- Limit yourself to carry one book at a time.   Connect with Dr. Travelbest   5Stepstosolotravel.com Drmarytravelbest.com Dr. Mary Travelbest Twitter Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube  

Front Row remembers the renowned Czech-born novelist, poet and essayist Milan Kundera who has died aged 94. Novelist Howard Jacobson and French journalist Agnès Poirier discuss the influence of his magical realist writing. Imagine a world where prison inmates fight to the death, for entertainment.

Charlotte Brontë axlade inte konstens klimatansvar, ändå har hon bidragit till minskat bilåkande. Författaren Isabella Nilsson reflekterar över den eventuella nyttan med konst och människor. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Uppläsare Sofia Strandberg.I klimatkristider och andra humanitära kristider är det naturligt att vi ställer oss frågan om konstens och kulturutövarnas roll och ansvar, deras potentiella bidrag till problemets lösning. Men inte sällan uppmuntras eller snarare åläggs konstnären att bli aktivist. Hur ska konst vara skapt, frågar vi oss, för att effektivast förändra världen?Jag tycker att den som får en sådan fråga bör svara som Stina Oscarson:  att den förändring konst har möjlighet att skapa ligger bortom vår föreställningshorisont. Oscarson tror att konst absolut kan förändra världen, men att vi aldrig kan förutspå exakt på vilket vis. Det kan alltså gå hur som helst. Och det är att sätta sig på mycket höga hästar om man tror sig kunna kontrollera resultatet. Att kunna förutse vilka tankar och känslor som i mötet med konsten kommer att väckas inom en människa och vad hen sedan väljer att göra med dessa, skriver hon. Låt mig ta ett exempel från mitt eget liv:I november, när de två kilometrarna mellan mig och mataffären ligger inbäddade i ett yllefuktigt töcken av mörker, regn och snålblåst, finns det bara en enda person i världen som kan övertyga mig om att avböja mammas erbjudande om bilskjuts, till förmån för en klimatförnuftig utsläppsfri promenad. Denna enda person skulle ha kunnat heta Greta, men eftersom jag är en obotlig romantiker och verklighetsfrånvänd bokmal med en ofrivillig dragning åt tragik och patetik, så heter hon Jane. Jane Eyre, närmare bestämt. Bara genom att hela vägen till affären unna mig själv att leka att jag är den i stormnatten irrande romanhjältinnan Jane Eyre, som hjärtekrossad och tappert och övergivet stretar sig fram över den karga engelska heden så blek! så febrig! så modig! lyckas jag uppbåda tillräckligt med själsstyrka för att följa mitt klimatsamvetes röst. (Mr Rochester! yrar jag när jag utmattad segnar ner på en bänk vid självscanningsapparaterna.)På sanning: mer än någon annan konst har Charlotte Brontës romantiska svärmerier på detta sätt bidragit till minskat bilåkande i mitt liv. Ändå saknar hennes romaner varje tillstymmelse till klimataktivistiskt budskap eller ögonöppnande miljömedvetenhet. Inte en enda liten fjuttig konstnärlig gestaltning av flygskam kan hon erbjuda läsaren. Charlotte Brontë är helt enkelt inte en författare som axlat konstens klimatansvar. Det beror säkert delvis på det faktum att hon varit död i sisådär 150 år, men likväl: romanen Jane Eyre borde inte kunna räknas till sådan konst som har kraft att minska människors koldioxidutsläpp och hjälpa dem att ställa om till en miljömässigt hållbar livsstil. Ändå måste vi, givet min nyss återgivna empiriska erfarenhet, räkna Jane Eyre till just sådan konst. Jag är alltså ytterst benägen att hålla med Stina Oscarson. Jag tror att kulturen lika väl som naturen mår bäst av artrikedom och mångfald. Litteraturen behöver talskrivare som Greta Thunberg, den behöver kärleksromanförfattare som Charlotte Brontë, den behöver kulturskribenter som Stina Oscarson, och kanske till och med en nonsenspoet som undertecknad. Vi författare kan liksom inte helt egenmäktigt och självrättfärdigt låta kalhugga bokskogen i syfte att plantera nyttoväxter i dess ställe. Ett sådant tuktande vore sorgligt kontraproduktivt och dessutom fåfängt på gränsen till storhetsvansinnigt.Mångfaldens nödvändighet gäller, det tåls att inskärpas, naturligtvis inte bara för litteraturen och konsten men också för livet i stort. Även den förändring ett människoliv kan skapa ligger bortom vår föreställningahorisont. Vill säga, att bedöma huruvida ett liv är lyckligt eller olyckligt är kanske inte oöverstigligt svårt, om inte annat kan man ju fråga den som livet tillhör. Men att bedöma huruvida ett liv är nyttigt eller onyttigt, det är omöjligt. Varken livets ägare eller någon annan människa har den typ av överblick som skulle krävas. Ett till synes meningslöst och förspillt liv kan mycket väl utgöra en bit i ett ännu inte färdiglagt världspussel. Alla tråkiga intetsägande helgrå pusselbitar kanske tillsammans bildar hjältens listiga lösskägg, eller mynningen till en magisk grotta, eller en hundvalps mjuka päls. Medans tvärtom en vackert brokig pusselbit med glitter och silverstänk kanske visar sig utgöra en bit av den onda trollkarlens trolldryck! Så menar till exempel Nietzsche när han i Den glada vetenskapen påpekar att fastän en väldigt genial individ bidrar med mycket gott till världen kan hennes samlade inverkan på mänskligheten ändå vara skadlig. Detta eftersom, förklarar han, mindre heroiska naturer riskerar att gå under när de försöker leva med geniet som förebild; den lilla skarans hjältedåd väcker den stora massans självförakt. Spontant kan jag ju tänka då, att i så fall kanske vi klenare människor behöver jobba lite på vår självkänsla, snarare än att lasta genierna för deras oefterhärmliga genialitet. Men Nietzsche har en poäng: det är fullt möjligt att orsaka skada med det bästa man har, och lika möjligt, måste vi anta, att komma till nytta och vara till glädje med sitt livs sämsta. Vi repeterar Oscarsons ord Det kan alltså gå hur som helst. Och det är att sätta sig på mycket höga hästar om man tror sig kunna kontrollera resultatet.För egen del var jag under många år heltidssjukskriven till följd av svårt tvångssyndrom. Periodvis oförmögen att lämna lägenheten, insnärjd i min egen paranoida värld av magiskt tänkande, har jag knappast varit sinnebilden av en nyttig samhällsmedborgare. Ofta har jag känt mig värdelös, och också faktiskt varit det, enligt mångas sätt att räkna. Men kanske kommer även mitt nervösa livsverk att gå åtminstone plus minus noll till slut? Det positiva behöver som vi har sett inte alltid ha sin upprinnelse i något positivt.  Även något otrevligt kan på märkliga omvägar få oväntat trevliga följder. För att citera min lillasyster, som en morgon fundersamt mellan müslituggorna utbrast:Isabella, tror du inte man skulle kunna bygga en nöjespark baserad på dina tvångstankar?Hm. Osvuret är bäst. Men det man förlorar på gungorna tar man igen i karusellen. Soten är boten och boten är soten och såväl soten som boten är, om vi ska tro på vad en väldigt vis man en gång sade, tomhet idel tomhet och ett jagande efter vind.Isabella Nilsson, författare även känd som NonsensprinsessanI texten refereras till en text av Stina Oscarsson i Svenska Dagbladet den 6 augusti 2019.

Glasgow's Burrell Collection has reopened this week following a £68.25m refurbishment - and we've been along for a look. The museum, which opened in Pollok Park in 1983, has been closed since October 2016, but as of this week, visitors can view items and collections which have not been seen for decades. The collection - which includes objects from Europe and Asia, as well as closer to home - was donated to Glasgow by art collector Sir William Burrell in 1944. We visited the collection before it reopened, and met with David Scott, who is Glasgow Life's digital media manager, about bringing the exhibition into the 21st century. You can find out more and visit The Burrell Collection website at www.burrellcollection.com Every month Scottish Field bring you the best of all things Scottish - heritage, interiors, antiques, gardens, wildlife, motoring, whisky and country news, as well as interviews with famous Scots names. In the April edition we put our magnifying glass on beautiful Perthshire. The artistic director of Pitlochry Festival Theatre talks with SF about her creative plans for the future, while Perthshire artist Claire Harkess shares how she crafts her beautiful paintings of flora and fauna. Astrid Wilson goes on a trip down memory lane by revisiting Perthshire, the place she fled to from Estonia. Just before The Glenturret Lalique Restaurant earned its first Michelin star, the Mystery Diner was treated to a world-class meal, and they share their thoughts. In our other features, award-winning crime writer Denise Mina speaks of her latest release and her obsession with all things historical, while in our Credo column, leading stage star Maureen Beattie talks of her love of Scotland, then explains why 1Direction singer Harry Styles is her hero. Landscape and natural history photographer Duncan Fraser seeks to conserve Scotland's wilderness, while in wildlife, Cal Flyn explains how we can all take action to protect our country's bumbling pollinators. And the Bad Girl Bakery's Jeni Iannetta shares some scrumptious recipes from her new baking bible. The April edition priced £4.75 is now available in shops and online, and can be purchased from HERE.

Architect John McAslan discusses the renovation of the Glasgow-based building that houses an internationally significant art collection.

Presented by Kate Molleson from Glasgow. As the Burrell Collection reopens in Glasgow after a £68 million refit, Sunday Post art critic Jan Patience discusses the significance of the gallery, which includes rare Persian carpets, Chinese ceramics and sculptures by Rodin. Director Cora Bissett talks about Orphans – the new musical from the National Theatre of Scotland, adapted from Peter Mullan's 1998 cult classic film set in Glasgow. Belgian clarinettist Annelien Van Wauwe is in Glasgow to perform the world premiere of Sutra with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. She tells Kate about collaborating with composer Wim Henderickx to create a concerto inspired by Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, the first scriptures of yoga, and how yoga can help musicians find their flow. Hannah Lavery is the recently appointed Edinburgh City Makar, the city's poet laureate. She discusses her new role and her debut poetry collection Blood, Salt, Spring, a seemingly real time meditation on where we are – exploring ideas of nation, race and belonging.

When the Virgin Mary visited her aged relative Elizabeth, both women were filled with the Holy Spirit and uttered astonishing words of praise for the one that the Virgin was carrying. St. Mary is truly the God-bearer because she is carrying God himself in the flesh in her womb and thus bears the Son of God into the world for the world's sake.Image: The Visitation, photo by Lawrence OP, Detail from a tapestry dating to c. 1450-75, believed to have been made by a Dominican nun in Switzerland.

On this episode, we’re discussing the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. Born in Paris in 1831, Durand-Ruel took over his father’s business as an art dealer a few years before the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, during which time he escaped to London. It was around this time that he became familiar with a new group of artists called the Impressionists. He became an advocate of their artistic work, seeing their potential for commercial success long before many others in the art world. He is credited with helping to establish some of the best-known artists of this period, including Degas, Manet, Monet, Pissarro and Renoir. Stating the case for Paul Durand-Ruel as a revolutionary is Professor Frances Fowle, Personal Chair of Nineteenth-Century Art at Edinburgh College of Art and Senior Curator of French Art at National Galleries Scotland. Her specialist area is European and American nineteenth-century art, with an emphasis on collecting, the art market, national identity, cultural revival and artistic networks. She is Senior Trustee of the Burrell Collection in Glasgow and sits on the Burrell Renaissance Board. She is also a founding Board member of the International Art Market Studies Association and is on the steering committee for the European Revivals Research Network, initiated by the Ateneum Art Museum in Helsinki. Revolutionaries is produced and recorded at Edinburgh College of Art, and is hosted by Ardie Collins from the Engagement and Communications team. Music is Noahs Stark by krackatoa.
