Podcasts about sumayya

Today I'm talking to the wonderful Sumayya Vally, founder of the architecture and research practice Counterspace. When in 2020 Sumayya designed the Serpentine pavilion, she joined the ranks of luminaries including Zaha Hadid, Peter Zumthor and Frank Gehry. In 2021, Time Magazine named her one of the ‘100 Leaders of the Future' and, more recently, she was artistic director of the inaugural Islamic Arts Biennale in Saudi Arabia.What really shines through in this conversation is Sumayya's interest in the notion of home as it relates to place. She was born in an Indian township in Pretoria, just after Nelson Mandela was released from prison, and she cites the city of Johannesburg as her biggest inspiration. When she arrived in London, she became interested in the gathering spaces where settlers from other countries and communities have established themselves: churches, synagogues, marketplaces, female community centres, black-music venues and so on. ‘Home is not a physical place,' she says. ‘It's a sensibility and a feeling.'The name ‘Sumayya' means ‘to rise to the occasion', and she tells me how she's an outlier in her family and how her parents made sacrifices to provide her with an education. Very occasionally in life, you meet someone who has an inner light that seems to shine more brightly than other people's. For me, Sumayya has that. She's incredibly composed, articulate and wise beyond her years and I'm full of admiration for the work she's doing to bring disparate cultures together.This episode was recorded in person in London.For more:Visit The Modern House website to see images of the spaces discussed in this episode.Check out Counterspace.Production: Hannah PhillipsEditing: Oscar CrawfordGraphic Design: Tom YoungMusic: Father Hosted on Acast.

Faire monter les femmes sur scène et les encourager à jouer de la musique. C'est l'objectif de l'African Women Orchestra. Depuis huit ans, cette initiative kényane encadre des jeunes femmes pour les aider à poursuivre leur passion musicale. L'organisation prépare aussi un concert annuel qui a lieu autour du 8 mars, la journée internationale des droits des femmes. Plusieurs femmes d'Afrique de l'Est se retrouvent au sein d'un orchestre qui mêle musique classique et talent de la région. Le concert a eu lieu il y a quelques jours dans la capitale kényane. De notre correspondante à Nairobi,L'orchestre accompagne la voix de Liboi, chanteuse kényane. Sur scène, une vingtaine de femmes. Habillées dans des tissus africains multicolores, loin du traditionnel noir des orchestres. Ici, on revisite les codes. Le concert alterne entre musique classique et titres contemporains. L'audience se lève et danse. Quelques fausses notes n'ont pas entaché l'enthousiasme du public. « C'était très beau. J'ai beaucoup aimé le mélange de musique classique et de rythmes africains. Nous, africains, on adore danser à chaque occasion, donc j'ai trouvé ça formidable ! ». « C'était magnifique de voir des femmes jouer ensemble. Cela montre les progrès que nous avons faits en tant que pays, que continent, pour s'assurer que les femmes aient de la visibilité et soient écoutées », se réjouit une autre spectatrice.Wandiri Karimi est à la guitare. Elle anime aussi l'évènement. Cette passionnée de musique a cofondé l'African Women Orchestra après avoir constaté qu'elle était souvent la seule femme sur scène à jouer un instrument : « Un grand travail a été fait et de plus en plus de personnes intègrent des orchestres. On veut encourager cette tendance et faire en sorte que les jeunes filles qui ont appris à jouer un instrument, peut-être à l'école, et souhaitent continuer ont un espace où elles peuvent être jouées et être écoutées. Et on joue certes du Bach, du Beethoven, mais on met aussi en lumière des chanteuses du Kenya ou de l'Afrique de l'Est. On adapte leur musique pour accompagner l'orchestre. »Encourager les vocations musicales des jeunes fillesL'une au tuba, l'autre au trombone. Deux jeunes artistes ougandaises font un duo. Sumayya Nabakooza et Miriam Nyirabanasi ont 24 et 23 ans. Elles sont toutes les deux originaires des bidonvilles de Kampala. Elles ont découvert la musique grâce à une ONG, Brass for Africa et l'enseignent aujourd'hui.« Quand j'ai commencé à jouer, les garçons dans le groupe disaient “oh elle ne va pas savoir jouer” et moi, je me disais la même chose. Mais petit à petit, ils ont vu de quoi j'étais capable et moi aussi, je l'ai réalisé. Je me suis dit que j'avais une opportunité de jouer de cet instrument et de l'utiliser pour inspirer d'autres jeunes filles. Pour moi, c'est très important parce que peut-être que si j'avais eu un modèle à suivre quand j'étais plus jeune, j'aurais cru en moi dès le départ », affirme Sumayya Nabakooza.Sumayya veut montrer des vidéos du concert à ses élèves, surtout aux jeunes filles. Pour, dit-elle, encourager leur ambition.À lire aussiOrchestra Baobab, groupe mythique ouest-africain, se fête avec le titre «50 ans»

The Impact of the Palestinian Crisis on Our Children – Sumayya Bulbulia by Radio Islam

Clive Anderson and Michelle McManus are joined by Eddi Reader, Sumayya Usmani, Ben Hart and Kieran Hodgson for an eclectic mix of conversation, music and comedy.

Sumayya Vally is the founder and principal of Counterspace, a Johannesburg-based architecture and research studio. Counterspace is committed to developing a design language that acknowledges and resonates with the African continent. In 2019, Counterspace was invited to design the 20th Serpentine Pavilion in London, making Vally the youngest architect ever to win this internationally renowned commission. She recently curated the first Islamic Arts Biennale in Jeddah. Vally is currently collaborating on the design of the Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Presidential Center for Women and Development in Monrovia, Liberia, the first presidential library dedicated to a female head of state, where she will oversee the scenography, pavilions, and exhibition spaces. She and Zuckerman spoke about imagination, fear of design, metaphors of healing, dialogue with place, the first Islamic Arts Biennale, having a life in a city, ingredients of gathering, architecture of ritual, dynamic restoration, everyone is welcome, beauty, gathering and belonging, and having a practice of hope and optimism!

What was it like curating the 1st Diriyah Islamic Arts Biennale? And how do you capture the essence of a place that is in the hearts and minds of Muslims around the world? Sumayya Vally talks to us about her personal relationship with Saudi Arabia, suspended geographies, adding to the Islamic Art canon, and reimagining Jeddah's Western Hajj Terminal as an exhibition space. She talks us through it from the very conceptualization of the Diriyah Islamic Arts Biennale in Saudi Arabia to individual pieces that caught Mikey's attention when he attended the opening. We also touch on what it's like letting go of a creative project once it has come to fruition, with Sumayya likening the process to post-partum depression. Lastly, we hear about what Sumayya and her research and architecture practice, Counterspace, are working on now.Sumayya Vally is an award-winning architect from South Africa. In 2022, the World Economic Forum chose her as one of its Young Global Leaders. She has been featured as a TIME100 Next List Honoree. Vally is also on the board of directors for the World Monuments Fund and is the founder of Counterspace, a research and architecture practice. In 2019, Counterspace was chosen to design the 20th Serpentine Pavilion in London. This made Vally the youngest architect to ever win this prestigious commission. Finally, Vally worked as artistic director for the very first Islamic Arts Biennale in Jeddah that ran from January through to April of 2023. Created & hosted by Mikey Muhanna, afikra Edited by: Ramzi RammanTheme music by: Tarek Yamani https://www.instagram.com/tarek_yamani/About Outline:Outline is a process-focused conversation that looks at guests' individual projects rather than their full bodies of work. The conversation sketches the journey of the project; the spark of curiosity that led to the project, the process of implementing the idea, the struggles that emerged throughout the implementation, and the aftermath of the project that includes new questions and new ideas. The name “Outline” stems from the idea of creating a retroactive project outline which is part of a broader emphasis on the process of curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking from a nuts and bolts perspective. Outline is not discipline-specific; the series will be held with artists, academics, writers, filmmakers, among others.

Sumayya Vally is a Musilm South African architect, and founder of the practice Counterspace. “Architecture is abstract, and I think what I'm doing in my practice is making a concerted effort to find different sources for the origins of that abstraction. I think what has happened in the cannon and in the profession more broadly is that we've inherited so much that we don't deeply question…I think the languages that we've inherited could do with being supplemented or oven being overtaken, dare I say, by other origins, that come from different ways of being and different value systems.”– SVScaffold is an Architecture Foundation production, hosted by Matthew Blunderfield.

The fashion designer Dame Mary Quant, best known for popularising the mini skirt which helped define the swinging sixties has died at the age of 93. The Telegraph's fashion writer Melissa Twigg who knew Mary and the fashion Amber Butchart discussed her impact and legacy. Sumayya Vally has been described as one of the most exciting, innovative and fresh voices in architecture, she's featured on the TimesNext100 list, and was the youngest ever architect to design the iconic Serpentine Pavilion in Hyde Park. Now she is the woman behind the innaugral Islamic Arts Biennal in Saudi Arabia, which aims to bridge past, present and future of Islamic culture through a unique multi-sensorial experience.

A new report highlights concerns about infants with non-accidental injuries being missed by clinicians in busy A&E departments. The Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch has examined serious case reports of infants being harmed and initially sent away without safeguarding teams being alerted. Their findings suggest factors such as lack of curiosity and lack of specific national guidance for Emergency Departments could be at play.
