Podcast appearances and mentions of lydia cole

In this episode, Alice interviews two guests about the 'peace knowledge' produced by different museums. Charlotte Houlahan joins us from Yorkshire, where she is principal curator at The Peace Museum in Saltaire, near Bradford. Alongside her, Lydia Cole, a Lecturer in International Relations at the University of Sussex, shares insights from her new research project, 'Curating Peace', which examines ways that exhibitions and museum collections shape public knowledge of peacemaking in the United Kingdom. The Peace Museum in Saltaire is the UK's only peace museum. Founded in 1994, it recently moved to new premises, which prompted its curators to think afresh about the kinds of peace stories it shares with the public. Charlotte gives listeners a flavour of some of the items in its collection, talks us through the design of its new exhibition space, and reflects on its mission to empower and inspire visitors through the human stories of individual peace activists past and present.Lydia helps us to identify the different kinds of peace knowledge present in war-oriented museum spaces, such as London's Imperial War Museum. Discussing their WWI and WWII galleries, their Peace and Security section, and their 2017 temporary exhibition 'People Power', she discusses different approaches - some of which focus on top-down, institutional forms of peacebuilding, while others centre ordinary people and even take the curation of peace knowledge (and conflict histories) beyond the museum space.The conversation ends with some important reflections on the challenges of talking about peace amid conflict, the benefits that might arise from the development of more peace-oriented museums, and the ripple effects beyond the museum space of sharing peace knowledge in the everyday.

How much is left in your 'tank'? Do you feel as though you are beginning to move towards being overwhelmed or have you in fact burnt out? No matter how you are feeling, welcome. Yes, that includes you, the person who somehow still feels full of beans! What is your secret? In this episode, Petra speaks with singer/songwriter Lydia Cole. Lydia shares the story of her journey from making a living as a musician in Berlin toher ongoing journey of recovering from burnout back home, here in Tāmaki Makaurau.  We then hear from Brad Carr, who used to lead Gracecity Church in Auckland before burning out four years ago. He kindly shares many of the lessons learnt and experiences had since.  Producer Sam flew home to Dunedin for this episode and took the opportunity to interview his dad. He provides an interesting perspective as someone who is knowingly teetering on the edge of burnout while working within a system well known for being high pressure.

In this two-part episode, I share my own recent experience of sexual harassment and interview our friend Dr Jeff Crabtree on the insights he's gained from his Ph.D research into workplace and sexual harassment in the music industry in Australia and New Zealand.  We talk about what allows harassment to happen.  *This podcast also discusses a very senior music executive in Australia stepping down and internal investigations being commenced at two major record companies. Dr Jeff Crabtree gave a condensed version of the events leading up to that moment - and confined his remarks to matters that took place in the months immediately before the news broke. He believes however, that the full range of events that contributed to the investigations and consequences are extensive and complex - including the courageous actions of NZ artists Possum Plows, Lydia Cole and Amy Goldsmith which led to the sacking of one senior NZ music executive and the suspension of another. In Australia, there was even an open letter to the Australian music industry signed by over 1,000 women in the music industry that emerged in 2017 as a complement to the #metoo movement. Which is to say - it was the total sum of events and courageous action over time that led to a catalytic moment across the industry and it would be difficult to capture it all in a single episode.  Please return for a future episode shortly to discuss the role of survivor stories, journalism and creating public pressure for change. Please rate and review this podcast, share it broadly as this is deeply important conversation. 

In this week's episode, Alice interviews three researchers - Teresa Ó Brádaigh Bean, Lydia Cole, and Azadeh Sobout - who are involved in the Art of Peace project based at the Universities of Manchester and Durham. Led by Oliver Richmond, Stephanie Kappler, and Birte Vogel, this project explores arts-based approaches to peace-making and the role that grassroots-led art projects can play in helping communities process and recover from conflict. On the podcast, we discussed the many different roles that different forms of artistic practice can play in post-conflict communities, from bringing people together and building bridges between past and present to rights-based activism and peaceful revolution.  Lydia, Azadeh and Teresa were all keen to stress that participatory arts programmes can help people 'build better futures', not just process past experiences. Along the way, we discussed the false binary between war and peace that often distorts and simplifies how we visualise both. We talked about the limitations of top-down, colonial-style peace-making initiatives, and the merits of grassroots peace-building from below and attention to micropolitics. We also looked at lots of different examples of 'artivism' - art that embodies and enables activism. Our conversation got us thinking about entrenched habits of visualising 'peace' and the role that different art forms can play in re-visualising both peace and conflict and in visualising new/different/better futures.Alongside her research, Teresa works for the charity In Place of War, which supports artists and cultural organisations in places of conflict all around the world. Her recent work has focused particularly on creative enterprise, community arts education and arts-based social movements in Colombia, and she is co-editor of a volume coming out soon called ‘The Art of Making Something from Nothing', which looks at the social impact of arts projects across the Global South.Lydia is closely connected to the Conflict Textiles project which we talked about on the podcast last week, and she has curated a range of exhibitions in connection with this (called ‘Stitched Voices' and ‘Threads, War and Conflict'), bringing feminist international relations theory and critical peace and conflict studies together. She is passionate about creative and participatory approaches to peace and conflict studies, and her work for the Art of Peace project has focused particularly on grassroots arts projects in Bosnia and HerzegovinaAzadeh has been leading a research project on the intersection of arts and peace-building in Lebanon, focused particularly on refugee communities from Syria and internally displaced people from within Lebanon itself. She has a particular interest in post-war geographies and narratives of displacement; in how different affected communities present their histories and identities through different artistic media; and how different forms of art can create avenues for peace activism, by helping people work through the complexities of solidarity, responsibility and ethics.  We hope you enjoy the episode. You can find out more about the Art of Peace project on their website, and more information about In Place of War is available here.

With a soul man’s voice and a poet’s soul, Ed Waaka​ ​is one of the most compelling singer / songwriters to emerge from New Zealand. His music pays homage to the power of the human condition, creating songs that are consciously direct and spiritually uplifting. He has worked and played alongside some of New Zealand’s most prolific NZ artists including Troy Kingi, Trinity Roots, Annie Crummer, Lydia Cole, Melodownz and Louis Baker to name a few. Since the release of his debut single “No Enemy of Mine” in 2015, he continues to produce work that is universal in nature, seeking out truth and connection, using stirring vocals and intimate conveyance to create atmospheres of warmth and love. Last year he released singles “War on the Street” and “Revolution”, at a time when the world was witnessing unprecedented social and political unrest. A pre-warning and timely reminder that love and compassion is the only way forward. 2020 would signal work on his debut E.P but due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, this project was put on hold. In response, Ed decided to create and host a live streaming show called E NOHO (In Māori, means to sit, stay or remain). A passion project born out of his love for NZ music and a platform for fellow NZ artists to help promote connection and mental wellbeing through music and storytelling. To date, the show has been streaming for 4 months, featured over 30 NZ artists and still continues to be the only live streaming show dedicated to emerging NZ artists. E NOHO streams every Wednesday at 8PM (NZST) live on Facebook (www.facebook.com/enoholive). Don't miss co host Emme Lentino's exclusive interview with ED WAAKA right here on Heart of Indie Radio!

Kia ora listeners, in Episode 2 I'll be interviewing… myself. I give my testimony with all its ups and downs. Some of you may have heard parts of it before, but I hope my story gives you encouragement. The audio quality isn't the greatest, with some background noise, but if you listen at mid volumes (without headphones) it's not too annoying. A big shoutout to Caleb who has been editing and producing each episode. In addition, I have used the beautiful song ‘Oh God' by Lydia Cole which features on the Edge Kingsland Vol.III The Common Good. Kia Kaha, Jonny

For our final episode of this season, we have an extremely special interview with Mr. Faisal Edhi and Ms. Bllquis Edhi of the Edhi Foundation. Of course, this is one organization that needs no introduction, founded by Pakistan’s most beloved humanitarianist, social entrepreneur, and role model, Mr. Abdul Sattar Edhi, who dedicated his entire 88 year life towards the development of this country. He started with just two paisas that his mother would give him each day, and from this small beginning, eventually opened a 24-hour dispensary in Mithadar, Karachi, where he would sleep on the bench in order to serve patients. Eventually he saved enough to purchase an ambulance, one of only 2 or 3 in the entire province, and drove through out all of Sindh responding to emergency calls. From there, he kept working and over 60+ years developed the largest NGO in Pakistan, with nearly 2,000 ambulances, 350 fully serviced health centers, over 3,000 employees, nearly 50,000 midwives or nurses trained, and becoming a compass to hundreds of millions just through the way he lived his life. And although he passed away in the holy month of Ramadan in 2016, his vision and work lives on, specifically through the leadership of his son Mr. Faisal Edhi, and his wife and partner, Ms. Bilquise Edhi. Ms. Bilquise, of course, has been supporting him since the very early days, not only working alongside of him day in and day out, but also bringing a light in a world that Edhi sb said was often full of darkness. And together they raised their family, including Mr. Faisal Edhi, who learned alongside Edhi sb as a child, worked along side him after finishing his higher studies, and with Ms. Bilquise has helped succeed the Foundation after Edhi sb’s passing. Although it’s a bit long longer than usual, we wanted to share as much richness from this conversation as possible. Together, Ms. Bilquise and Mr. Faisal Edhi share Edhi sb’s belief that the only way to change society is through our work, they share his hope that bad things happen quickly but eventually fade away while change comes slowly but lasts for a long time, and they share his conviction that we each have a role and responsibility to play in bringing about the long lasting change that the world so desperately needs. *Building Pakistan is brought to you by the team at Amal Academy (amalacademy.org), with support from +Acumen (plusacumen.org) as our distribution partner.

Mr. Hussain Dawood is the Chairman of Dawood Hercules, a holding company that has ownership of institutions such as Hub Power, one of Pakistan’s largest independent power producers, and Engro Corporation, which is one of the largest fertilizer manufacturers and the parent company of Engro Foods, which it sold a 51% stake to a Dutch company last year for over $450 million dollars, closing one of the largest foreign investments in Pakistan to date. Mr. Dawood is also Chairman of both Hub Power and Engro Corporation, and is the cofounder and Chairman of the Karachi School of Business & Leadership, which he launched in 2012 through a strategic partnership with the University of Cambridge. He’s involved in too many other things to mention, but one thing fascinating about his journey is how he started as an intrapreneur for almost 30 years within his family business, learning critical lessons and developing his entrepreneurial skillset and mindset until the opportunity presented itself to venture into the world of entrepreneurship. His journey of 74 years so far contains so much richness and insight and we were thrilled to explore a few of these in this conversation. *Building Pakistan is brought to you by the team at Amal Academy (amalacademy.org), with support from +Acumen (plusacumen.org) as our distribution partner.

Ms. Sultana Siddiqui is the Founder and President of HUM Network and Moomal Productions. She started HUM in 2004 with a 24-hour entertainment channel, HUM TV and has grown it into one of Pakistan’s fastest-growing entertainment companies, adding channels like HUM Masala, HUM Sitaray, eventually HUM Films, several magazine productions, and are now working to launch HUM News. In 2016 alone they brought in over $34 million in revenue, and are one of the only entertainment companies publicly listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange. Her career is fascinating for many reasons, and of them is how she has found a way to marry her artistic and creative passions with her entrepreneurial skill. She initially started as a producer for PTV in 1974 and eventually realized a need and opportunity to create quality content or shows for the channel. So she launched Moomal Productions, where she produces and often directs award-winning shows like Yeh Zindagi and Doosri Dunya and more recently Zindagi Gulzar Hai One of the secrets to her success seems to be a skill of both identifying and then bringing out the best in people, and she used this to introduce some of the country’s most talented actors, such as Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, and Kubra Khan. What’s fascinating is how she has done all of this this initially as a single parent, how she has used her platform to help stir the conscience and actions of a nation through the messages in her shows, and how she has become a shining role model for women and men, kids and adults, entrepreneurs and artists, and so much more. *Building Pakistan is brought to you by the team at Amal Academy (amalacademy.org), with support from +Acumen (plusacumen.org) as our distribution partner.

The New York Times has called Mr. Syed Babar Ali not just an institution builder in Pakistan, but an institution himself: helping to build industry when the nation was just born by starting some of the country’s first and most successful companies. Some of those institutions include the first and now largest packaging company, Packages Limited, one of the first milk processing companies, Milk Pak Limited, which later became Nestle Pakistan, the largest food processing company, and of course, LUMS university, which the NYT has called the Harvard University of Pakistan. He has also profoundly matured Pakistan’s business ecosystem by bringing in various multinationals through joint venture partnerships, including Tetra Pak Pakistan, Siemens Pakistan, Coca-Cola Pakistan and Sanofi-Aventis Pakistan. And in addition to all of this, his social work also includes Ali Institute of Education, Naqsh School of Arts, Ali Institute of Technical Education, and Sydenwala Schools. He is also one of our investors and advisors at Amal, and supports various other education institutions like Aitchison College, Kinnaird College and Lahore School of Economics. We couldn’t be more grateful for the unspeakable work he has done to build this country and it’s people, for his never ending curiosity to learn from others and to believe in their journey, and for the example that he’s set for each of us on what it means to live a life of purpose. *Building Pakistan is brought to you by the team at Amal Academy (amalacademy.org), with support from +Acumen (plusacumen.org) as our distribution partner.

Ms. Seema Aziz is the Cofounder and Managing Director of SEFAM, where she took one small fashion retail shop she started in Shadman Market Lahore in 1985, and built it into of Pakistan’s largest fashion retailers with over 450 outlets throughout 3 different regions of the world and currently 12 different brands, including Bareeze, Leisure Club, Chinyere, Working Woman, Minnie Minors and 7 others. She has done this while also starting and growing CARE Foundation into one of Pakistan’s largest education NGOs, blossoming from one school that she planted in 1991 to over 860 schools that they are operating through out the country today. She’s a true serial entrepreneur who has done an unbelievable amount for this country, despite all the odds and the skepticism and the discouragement and the challenges and the frustrations. And she is still plugging away, meeting each day with a relentless work ethic and faith, facing road blocks with her beloved smile her and infectious energy, and continuing the journey with a never take no perseverance, and there’s really so much to love, admire and learn from her. *Building Pakistan is brought to you by the team at Amal Academy (amalacademy.org), with support from +Acumen (plusacumen.org) as our distribution partner.

Ms. Nasreen Kasuri is the Founder and Chairperson of Beaconhouse School System, and formerly served as CEO for almost 30 years. She has built Beaconhouse into one of the largest private schools systems in the world, and in this podcast, we will discuss her evolution as a lifelong learner over Beaconhouse's 42-year history: from the initial days as just a project and in her role as a parent just trying to give her own kids a good education, to her transition as an entrepreneur burden with conviction and opportunity, to her evolution as a CEO building Beaconhouse into the institution that it is today, and finally into her role now as Chairperson. (And of course, all along the way being a spouse, being a parent, being a friend, being so many things to so many people). It’s an incredible story of how she has managed to do it all – and still does so much – and there is a tremendous amount from which we can learn. *Building Pakistan is brought to you by the team at Amal Academy (amalacademy.org), with support from +Acumen (plusacumen.org) as our distribution partner.

Mr. Salim Ghauri is Founder and CEO of NetSol Limited, one of the first and now largest software houses in Pakistan. What's incredible about Salim Saab and NetSol is not only that they have helped catalyze an entire industry in Pakistan, but the way in which they've done it: through both strategic insight and perhaps providential circumstance, they built an invaluable product when most emerging tech companies in Pakistan were just focused on services. The product was initially a financial tool they built for Mercedes Benz to provide better financing to their car buyers, but somehow NetSol was able to maintain the rights for this product and now sells it at over $20 Million USD per license. NetSol was also one of the first Pakistani companies to go public on Nasdaq, and then weathered the dot com crash, managing to not only survive but eventually thrive into 1,800+ employees, $100M projects and a pretty amazing story that we dig into with Salim sb. *Building Pakistan is brought to you by the team at Amal Academy (amalacademy.org), with support from +Acumen (plusacumen.org) as our distribution partner.

Dr. Amjad Saqib is the Founder and CEO of Akhuwat, Pakistan’s largest Islamic microfinance institution. It is also one of the few social enterprises that has managed to cross the chasm and reach incredible scale, becoming a north star for so many entrepreneurs in the social sector. Their team of 5,500 employees has reached over 2.5 million households across their 700 branches in just 16 years, and today we will dig into how they have managed to do this. We’ll also talk about phase 2 of Akhuwat, which is the exciting work they are doing in education through Akhuwat University, Akhuwat College, over 250 schools that they’ve adopted, and a lot more. Dr. Saqib is aslo not a typical entrepreneur, in that his background is as a civil servant officer, and so we’ll also get to understand more about what makes Dr. Amjad Saqib Dr. Amjad Saqib: some of his spiritual beliefs, practices and rituals, and the inspiration behind his work and his journey. *Building Pakistan is brought to you by the team at Amal Academy (amalacademy.org), with support from +Acumen (plusacumen.org) as our distribution partner.
