¿Cómo se siente Princeton en la novela Americanah, de Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche? En este capítulo de Fábulas urbanas, acompañamos el recorrido de una joven nigeriana que deja su país de origen para ir a estudiar a Estados Unidos.
With her new sound and light installation, Arcadia, Theatre and Opera director Deborah Warner has brought the feel of the field into The Factory – the new home for MIF. The Factory is still very much a building site open to the elements, but for one weekend only the festival is providing an opportunity for visitors, to see the new construction from the inside. And once inside the concrete shell, they will enter Arcadia, Deborah's subversive and challenging artwork to Manchester's spirit of progress. Deborah talks to Nick about the appeal of making an installation in an unfinished venue. One of Pakistan's most celebrated artists has used his MIF commission to explore his concept of Eart - his term to describe ways of thinking, being and acting creatively in real life. Under the title, A Manifesto of Possibilities, Rana presents an exhibition which interrogates new ways of living, and he makes real one of his ideas with the creation of his version of the essential corner shop. Nick Ahad pops in to the pop-up store to talk to producer Shanaz Gulzar about why ordering produce and stocking shelves is a new art frontier. The death of her father last June prompted the novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche to write a emotional essay, Notes On Grief, for the New Yorker. The essay expanded into a book earlier this year, and now courtesy of MIF it has been adapted for the stage. Nicky Byrne, Head of Clinical Services at Willow Wood Hospice and Nick Ahad attended the preview and discuss a play that meets a moment when many around the country are dealing with their own grief. Hayley Finn, aka Skyliner, has been leading what has been described as “anti-tours” around Manchester for almost a decade. Her urban tours not only seek to reveal new things about the city to its inhabitants as well as its visitors, but to empower those on her tours with a sense that a city is a place created by those who live and work within it and that they too can and should contribute to the never-ending project that is improving the city. Nick meets Hayley to discuss one of the tours she's leading for MIF, There Was A Bench Here Once. Presenter: Nick Ahad Producer: Ekene Akalawu
Welcome (back) to the Not Carrie Bradshaw podcast! In this episode, Jess is defining the term "Pick Me" and (bravely) asking some questions about pretty privilege. How do we define beauty? What do we owe each other in terms of desirability? Can we interrogate such a subjective topic without biases? We want to hear from you about your relationship with beauty. If you're interested in being interviewed for Jess's research project on beauty and pretty privilege, send us an email at prettyprojectqanda@gmail.com Be sure to rate and review on iTunes, share, comment, like, and SUBSCRIBE!

When bestselling author Kate Mosse launched the Women's Prize of Fiction, she was trying to resolve a seemingly impossible puzzle: how was it that women made up a vast majority of the readership, and yet only a very small minority of the authors who were short-listed for literary prizes? Twenty-five years later, with prize-winning authors such as Lionel Shriver, Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche, or Ali Smith, the Women's Prize for Fiction has proven to be a reference for millions of readers. In France, publishing companies are only just starting to wake up to the idea that other stories are worth telling. Since the creation of her agency, feminist literary agent Ariane Geffard has changed the game, one bestseller after another, giving voice to marginalised authors and shedding light on the work of many new, different artists. Hosted by Clémence Rebourg (Institut français), this episode explores how to lift women's voices in the publishing world. For this episode, Ariane Geffard's interview will be featured in its original French. If you would like to listen to the dubbed version, you can find it under Episode 1- ENG.

Aftenskolen Lektion X - Mary Consolata Namagambe Hvem får lov til at bestemme hvad danskhed er? Hvorfor taler vi ikke om Danmark som kolonimagt, når selv Nissebanden har været en tur i Caribien? Bliver man først sort, når alle andre er hvide? I dette afsnit har vi besøg af seje Mary Consolata, der sætter den universelle minoritetskvinde til debat. Vi taler om feminisme som en kontekstuel kamp – for mens nogle kæmper for retten til at fribløde, handler det for andre om bedre adgang til bind.

If the US is going to build a wall on its border with Mexico, it’s going to take a lot of concrete - millions of tonnes, in fact. But this is a tiny amount compared with China’s concrete use. It’s often said that China used more concrete between 2008-2011 than the US did in the whole of the 20th Century. It sounds astonishing - and is it true? Wesley Stephenson finds out. After comments by author Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche divided opinion over transgender women, we speak to members of some of Nigeria’s secret gay and transgender groups who rely on each other on social media for support. Also, Joey Daley from Ohio has documented his mother Molly’s dementia. One film in which she failed to recognise him for the first time was viewed nearly 2 million times. Joey speaks to BBC Trending about how it feels to care for someone with dementia. And Lee Kumutat examines why blindness comes to define the identity of people who have little or no sight. She talks to people in Jamaica, Ghana, Scotland and California about how they navigate a world which seems to see them as either inspirational or deserving pity. Or both.
