Nicoleta is a person of many talents and she intertwined them in very beautiful and useful ways. We talked about how she decided to be a DJ in the first place, it’s funny because I didn’t even know what the acronym stands for; we talked about her style and creative process, she is also a producer and composer and has her own record label Muzică Without Frontiers. By the way, she also had a gig in Chișinău, capital of Republic of Moldova wink wink. “After DJing for 20 years, Nico [de Transilvania] released her first album ‘Be One’ in 2019, featuring traditional folkloric instruments and songs from her homeland Transylvania. Its aim is to help preserve the old traditional instruments and folk songs from Transylvania and bring them back to life on an electronic dance music platform” source:https://www.forestswithoutfrontiers.org/album. You can buy the album here, “all album sales will go towards planting trees in Transylvania“. We then went on to talk about her journey as a yoga teacher, how it helped her when she first moved to the UK, the formation in India, the certifications and her plans for yoga in nature. And talking about nature, she is running an amazing charity called Forests without Frontiers with the aim of reforestation and preservation of ancient forests in Carpathian Mountains, Romania with big plans of expansion in other areas/countries. Nico loves connecting the art world with nature and there are a lot of interesting creative collaborations that you can learn more about on their website. The charity is always in need for support, so head over there to make a contribution or to become an ambassador: you can enquire at info@forestswithoutfrontiers.org, check out their newly launched line of eco friendly made T-shirts and hoodies https://forestswithoutfrontiers.co.uk/. In this episode you will also learn about Nico’s experience as a social worker; teaching life skills for homeless people; the plans for a cook book, her new projects involving one using voices of children in the UK; her experience in the production of Wild Carpathia, looking after the elders of the forests and local communities and many other inspirational stuff. We mentioned names like Francesca Martinez, Raoul Martinez, Stephen Fry, Russel Brand and even Prince Charles. The music in the podcast is of course from Nico’s album so that you can get a taste of it (the tracks are called Ciuleandra Feat. Fluierașii & Andra Covaleov and Trece Doru Feat. Monooka & Abstract Source). Picture credit: Frigyes Fogel I have painted Nico on a reused piece of cardboard, see the result on Instagram @daniela.c.paintings.

Raoul Martinez gives a talk for Mansfield College. Writer, artist and award-winning documentarian whose paintings have been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery; author of Creating Freedom: Power, Control and the Fight For Our Future (2016), which explores freedom through the lens of economics, philosophy, political theory and neuroscience and is a call for a better politics. Bruce Waller, a leading voice in the area of freedom and responsibility described Martinez' book, Creating Freedom (2016) as: 'A superb book; it is not only beautifully written, vigorously argued and remarkably researched, it is a unique contribution to a subject - discussed for more than two millennia - where unique contributions are rare indeed. There is nothing in the literature that places the issues of freedom and responsibility in such a broad and enlightening context, enriching familiar debates surrounding punishment and the justice system but also going far beyond. Indeed, the discussion of markets, the media, political and corporate power, and global degradation - in close connection with the undermining of freedom and the damaging effects of belief in moral responsibility - is a singular contribution to these vitally important issues. No one has examined the issues of freedom and moral responsibility in such an extensive and fascinating context, or done more to show that these issues are not ivory tower debates but absolutely life and death issues for individuals and quite possibly for our species.'

Welcome to Season 5 of Book Shambles, now part of the Cosmic Shambles Network! Artist and writer and Raoul Martinez joins Robin and Josie to kick of Season 5 of Book Shambles. They discuss Raoul's new book Creating Freedom, have a bit of a debate about free will and chat about the work of Howard Zinn, Rebecca Solnit, Noam Chomsky and more.
Raoul Martinez is a writer, artist, and award-winning filmmaker. Creating Freedom is his first book. It is informed by over a decade of research and is accompanied by a documentary series of the same name. Episode One, The Lottery of Birth - produced, written and co-directed by Raoul - premiered in 2012. It was nominated for Best Documentary at London's Raindance Film Festival and went on to win the Artivist Spirit 2012 Award at Hollywood's Artivist Festival. It has been translated into several languages and the second film is currently in production. Raoul lives and works in London, where his paintings have been selected for exhibition in the National Portrait Gallery. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Award-winning filmmaker Raoul Martinez visits the RSA to reflect on one of the most urgent questions of our time – are we really free? Informed by over a decade of research, Martinez will lift the veil on the mechanisms of control that pervade our lives, from the lottery of our birth to the consent-manufacturing influence of concentrated wealth and power. Tackling economics, philosophy, politics, criminology, psychology and environmentalism, it shows that the more we understand how the world shapes us, the more effectively we can shape our world.
