Podcasts about time a memoir

Dwell time, the time in which it takes for a cleaning product to work on a targeted material in art conservation, serves as a profound metaphor for the immigrant experience in author Rosa Lowinger's book of the same name. "Dwell Time: A Memoir of Art, Exile, and Repair", begins with Rosa's family's escape from Jewish persecution to their new home in Cuba, and then eventually to their new life in America, sharing how these experiences laid the foundation for her career in art conservation. Inspired by Primo Levi, Rosa's memoir is uniquely organized around different conservation materials, blending her professional expertise with deeply personal stories. Art isn't just about aesthetics; it's a powerful storyteller and a cornerstone of community identity. Follow us on social media for more content related to each episode:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/booked-on-planning/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BookedPlanningFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bookedonplanningInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bookedonplanning/

One of nineteen children in a blended family, Hari Ziyad was raised by a Hindu Hare Kṛṣṇa mother and a Muslim father. Through reframing their own coming-of-age story, Ziyad takes readers on a powerful journey of growing up queer and Black in Cleveland, Ohio, and of navigating the equally complex path toward finding their true self in New York City. In Black Boy Out of Time: A Memoir (Little a, 2021), Ziyad investigates what it means to live beyond the limited narratives Black children are given and challenges the irreconcilable binaries that restrict them. Heartwarming and heart-wrenching, radical and reflective, Hari Ziyad's vital memoir is for the outcast, the unheard, the unborn, and the dead. It offers us a new way to think about survival and the necessary disruption of social norms. It looks back in tenderness as well as justified rage, forces us to address where we are now, and, born out of hope, illuminates the possibilities for the future.

Professor Ron McCallum is a blind lawyer and the first totally blind person to receive a full professorship in any field at any university in Australia or New Zealand.    Speaking with us about his life, professor McCallum explains what inspired him to write a memoir with the unexpected title: ‘Born at the Right Time’   Professor McCallum spoke with RNIB Connect Radio’s Simon Pauley.    You can find ‘Born at the Right Time: A memoir’ on Kindle.   (Photo shows the front cover of Professor McCallum’s book. He is wearing a navy suit with a white shirt and a striped navy and blue tie. Perched on a stool he looks down at his black guide dog, hand gently holding onto the back of the dog’s blue collar)
