In this special episode of Gobsmacked!, I'm joined by my second cousin, Damian Le Bas, author of the acclaimed The Stopping Places and now The Drowned Places, a haunting, lyrical exploration of grief, memory, and the worlds that lie beneath the surface.Written in the wake of his father's death, the visionary artist Damian Le Bas, the book takes us on a journey through submerged landscapes and the emotional terrain of loss, drawing unexpected parallels with the myth of Atlantis.We speak about his parents' creative brilliance, including his mother, Turner Prize nominee Delaine Le Bas, his experience of writing through grief, and the grounding arrival of fatherhood with the birth of his daughter, Nina.My word—this is a profoundly articulate, bright, and thoughtful fellow. Sitting down with him for this conversation about legacy, identity, and resurfacing after loss was a true privilege. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

His wet shirt glistened in the summer haze.  "Romantic love," he offered, "Was its Western manifestation unique, a response to early industrialisation?"    Images of muscled men with sweat and soot upon the brow filled her fevered mind.  "Is it a stage in the liberation struggle of women?" she countered. "Consider chivalric romance, Goethe, Gyorgy Lukacs. What of romance as a continuation of the spirit of the French revolution, a struggle within liberalism?"    Meanwhile, the blacksmith and the heiress were arguing about Jane Austen.    Then the doorbell trilled ominously. You could hear their breathing. It was the postman delivering a package.    He proffered A Lover's Discourse: Fragments by Roland Barthes, two inverted commas in 69 on the cover, and shards of Sappho.

‘It’s interesting when something which isn’t of your realm of experience causes you to look at your own domain differently.’ Writer Damian Le Bas tells us about The Son by Philipp Meyer (2013).

The Romany writer and broadcaster Damian Le Bas and author Amy Liptrot choose a good read

Damian Le Bas grew up surrounded by Gypsy history. His great-grandmother would tell him stories of her childhood in the ancient Romani language; the places her family stopped and worked, the ways they lived, the superstitions and lores of their people. But his own experience of life on the road was limited to Ford Transit journeys from West Sussex to Hampshire to sell flowers. In a bid to better understand his Gypsy heritage, the history of the Britain's Romanies and the rhythms of their life today, Damian set out on a journey to discover the atchin tans, or stopping places – the old encampment sites known only to Travellers. Through winter frosts and summer dawns, from horse fairs to Gypsy churches, neon-lit lay-bys to fern-covered banks, The Stopping Places lives on the road, somewhere between the romanticised Gypsies of old, and their much-maligned descendants of today.

Damian Le Bas talks to Michael Rosen about the Romani language and his experience with using it. Damian is the author of The Stopping Places: A Journey Through Gypsy Britain. Producer Beth O'Dea

With Francine Stock. Maria Djurkovic, the award winning production designer of The Hours, Billy Elliot and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, reveals the film that's been a major influence on her career, Time Of The Gypsies. She is joined by her creative partner Tatiana Macdonald, whose favourite film also happens to be Emir Kusturica's Balkan odyssey about the adventures of a Romany child. Damian Le Bas, author of The Stopping Places: A Journey Through Gypsy Britain, reveals what he and his friends and family think of the film. Jonathan Romney offers a beginner's guide to the controversial Serbian director.

Damian Le Bas talks about his book The Stopping Places and tells us  why he had to write it. He explores the ancient stopping places used by his ancestors and many other Travellers and Gypsies throughout the UK. He also shares his experience of growing up in a Romany Gypsy family, troubles at school and making it to Oxford University.     

The Stopping Places is a powerful look at heritage, community and what it means to belong. This week on the Vintage Podcast, Leena talks to Damian Le Bas about his road trip through Gypsy Britain, speaking truth to prejudice and what we often get wrong about the Traveller community…The Stopping Places, A Journey Through Gypsy Britain by Damian Le Bas http://po.st/wF1YZpDownload the audiobook: http://po.st/StoppingPlacesAudibleFollow us on twitter: twitter.com/vintagebooksSign up to our bookish newsletter to hear all about our new releases, see exclusive extracts and win prizes: po.st/vintagenewsletterMusic is Orbiting A Distant Planet by Quantum Jazz http://po.st/OrbitingADistant See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Novelist Louise Doughty, author of Apple Tree Yard and Stone Cradle, talks to writer Damian Le Bas, author of The Stopping Places, about their shared Romany heritage and the culture of the wider Romany diaspora. Presenter: Sophie Coulombeau

Booker Prize-winning novelist Arundhati Roy's latest book weaves together the lives of the misfits and outcasts from India's bustling streets. Roy is famous as an advocate for the most vulnerable and dehumanised in Indian society. She tells Andrew Marr how her main character Anjum builds a small paradise for the dispossessed in a graveyard in Delhi. Ivan Mishukov walked out of his Moscow flat aged four and spent two years living on the city streets, where he found a home among a pack of wild dogs. Playwright Hattie Naylor used this true and extraordinary story as the basis for a play and now a film, Lek and the Dogs. She explores how the human world failed to look after the child, but how his kindness won the trust and protection of street dogs. Damian Le Bas grew up surrounded by Gypsy history from his great grandmother. He sets out on the road to discover Travellers' stopping places and to understand how the romanticised stories of the past were replaced by the critical, outcast image of present-day Gypsies. The columnist and Conservative Peer Daniel Finkelstein appears to be the ultimate establishment insider. But his parents were refugees who were forced to move across Europe because of antisemitism. He believes their desire for rootedness and belonging underlines his own politics. Producer: Katy Hickman Picture: Arundhati Roy (credit Mayank Austen Soofi).

Our theme this month is ‘On the Road’ and no - we’re not spending an hour discussing Jack Kerouac (phew). Instead, we’ll be talking about all the other wonderful books that have taken us on the road and, usually, on a journey of discovery too. Our guest is writer Damian Le Bas, whose fascinating debut The Stopping Places is a journey through Gypsy Britain, in which he visits the places scattered across the country where his Gypsy family and ancestors made their temporary homes. So listen in for a show dedicated to the tradition of books that roam, road novels and their intrepid travelling protagonists, and other books that use journeys as their narrative frame, plus all the usual recommendations. Ideal listening for those of you that are on the move!

Die Kunstausstellung "(Re-)Conceptualizing Roma Resistance" wurde von der ungarischen Kunsthistorikerin Tímea Junghaus kuratiert. Sie war im April 2016 im Festspielhaus Hellerau zu sehen und wurde eigens für diese Institution produziert. Tímea Junghaus gibt in dieser Ausgabe des Radio RomaRespekt Einblicke in ihre Arbeit als europäische Kuratorin in einem rassismuskritischen Kontext. Für sie als Romni ist das Ausstellen von Roma-Kunst eine Strategie, um die Anliegen und politischen Positionen der Roma bekannt zu machen. Sie möchte Zugänge zur Wissensproduktion der Roma schaffen und vermeintliches Wissen über Roma dekolonisieren, d.h. dessen Gültigkeit überprüfen und Korrekturen vornehmen. Die Sprachen dieser Sendung sind englisch und deutsch, d.h. die Antworten von Timea Junghaus sind komplett in Englisch hörbar. Foto: Der Künstler Damian Le Bas (links) bei der Eröffnunng seiner Ausstellung zum Roma Day am 8.4.2016 in der Galerie Kai Dikhas in Berlin (die Dame auf dem Bild rechts ist NICHT Timea Junghaus) Die Ursendung erfolgte auf coloRadio am 6.4. 2017 um 20:30 Uhr. Die Sendung lief außerdem auf Radio Blau in Leipzig, auf Radio t in Chemnitz, auf Radio Corax in Halle, auf Radio Frei in Erfurt, auf Radio Dreyeckland in Freiburg.

Mit Delaine Le Bas, André Jenö Raatzsch und Hamze Bytyçi. Jahrhundertalte antiromaistische Stereotype erschweren es der europäischen Öffentlichkeit, Rom_nja als moderne Künstler_innen wahrzunehmen. Rom_nja werden als homogene Gruppe konstruiert, die Individualität verschiedener Einzelpersonen wird von der Öffentlichkeit kaum wahrgenommen. Die Kultur der Mehrheitsgesellschaft bedient sich einerseits an der von ihr klischeehaft konstruierten Romakultur und schließt Rom_nja gleichzeitig aus kultureller Teilhabe aus. Trotz der Stereotype gibt es eine kleine Szene moderner bildender Künstler_innen in Europa, die sich offen als Rom_nja bekennen. Ihre Kunst ist oft politisch. Sie kann auch ein Mittel für die Mehrheitsgesellschaft zur differenzierteren Wahrnehmung von Rom_nja sein. Und sie kann ein Mittel der Emanzipation für die Rom_nja sein. Ihr hört Inter views mit Delaine Le Bas und André Jenö Raatzsch sowie Ausschnitte aus der Performance von Hamze Bytyci und Gästen "Sind wir nicht alle ein bisschen çaçele?" Foto: Szene aus "Sind wir nicht alle ein bisschen çaçele?", v.l.n.r.: Hamze Bytyçi, Herr Osram, Delaine Le Bas, Damian Le Bas, Herr von und Zu, Gianni Jovanovic Die Sendung lief am 9.1.2016 um 19 Uhr auf coloRadio und am 12.1. auf Radio Blau in Leipzig und auf Radio t in Chemnitz.
