One of the fastest rising stars selling out venues across European cities, Sri Lankan born Vidura spent his childhood, his teenage years and his young adulthood in small chunks of time in different countries, Vidura is a globe-trotter. To him, Berlin sometime feels more like home than Colombo. In the final episode of the first season of this podcast, Vidura is our perfect guest to illustrate how conventional definitions of "homeland", "mother tongue" no longer make senses to the globally mobile young population. An accent that cannot be easily located. Having lived in the United States and reading mostly in English, at times Vidura feels like English is more like his most fluent language, similar to lots of young immigrants who move to big cities for a brighter future, better career and a fun life, Unsurprisingly, these are also the bulk of Vidura's dedicated audience. A thinker and a prolific reader, Vidura sheds light on his cultural commentary approach to comedy and why he only write jokes that he has emotional attachments to or from ideas he has been mulling over in his head. ---------------------------------Follow Vidura on Instagram and his websiteFollow your host Kuan-wen on Instagram and Twitter---------------------------------If you like the episode, please share it and leave a review.

Next month, Tamils around the world will remember the 40th anniversary of Black July. In July 1983, anti-Tamil pogroms erupted in Sri Lanka's capital of Colombo and across the country, lasting a week and plunging the country into a 26-year-long civil war. As the conflict raged on, tens of thousands of people were killed, and it forced thousands more into exile including here in Ontario - home to one of the largest Tamil diasporas in the world. Host Jeyan Jeganathan speaks with members of the Tamil diaspora and looks back at the horrific events and how it has shaped future generations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Af eilífðarljósi bjarma ber, / sem brautina þungu greiðir. / Vort líf, sem svo stutt og stopult er, / það stefnir á æðri leiðir. / Og upphimin fegri en auga sér / mót öllum oss faðminn breiðir. Þann 15. nóvember 1978 brotlenti Flugleiðavélin Leifur Eiríksson í Colombo á Sri Lanka. Þetta er eitt mannskæðasta flugslys Íslandssögunnar. Í þessum þætti þræða Fjölnir Gíslason og Vilhelm Neto söguna um þau fimm sem lifðu af og hver orsök slysins voru. Þessi þáttur er seinni hluti af tveimur þáttum um Flugsögu Íslands. Tónlist og hljóðmynd eftir Fjölni Gíslason.

Fjallað er um mannskæðasta flugslys Íslandssögunnar þegar DC-8 þota Loftleiða fórst í aðflugi í Colombo á Sri Lanka 15. nóvember 1978. Rætt er við þrjú þeirra sem komust lífs af, Oddnýju Björgólfsdóttur flugfreyju, Þuríði Vilhjálmsdóttur fugfreyju og Harald Snæhólm flugstjóra.

“How can dance be sustained by its practitioners in the unstable political and geographical landscape of war?” Satkunaratnam asks this through her text, Moving Bodies, Navigating Conflict: Practicing Bharatanatyam in Colombo, Sri Lanka (Wesleyan UP, 2020), a groundbreaking ethnographic examination of dance practice in Colombo, Sri Lanka, during the civil war (1983–2009). It is the first book of scholarship on bharata natyam (a classical dance originating in India) in Sri Lanka, and the first on the role of this dance in the country's war. Focusing on women dancers, Ahalya Satkunaratnam shows how they navigated conditions of conflict and a neoliberal, global economy, resisted nationalism and militarism, and advocated for peace. Her interdisciplinary methodology combines historical analysis, methods of dance studies, and dance ethnography. In this discussion, Satkunaratnam describes her ethnographic work, placing importance on the body, which carries the memory of war and transnational shifts. Satkunaratnam emphasizes trust and freeness in her process of telling stories that disrupt boundaries. Ahalya Satkunaratnam is professor of arts and humanities at Quest University Canada located in the unceded territories of the Tseil-Watuth, Musqueum, and Squamish peoples. A dancer and choreographer, she has performed across the United States, Canada, India, and Sri Lanka. Preethi Ramaprasad is a performer and doctoral student in Critical Dance Studies at the University of California, Riverside. Her research is based on the politics of bharatanatyam, mythologies, and transnationalism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
