Creating community

August 21, 2026 · 35 min

Show notes

A vibrant community is one that is engaged, connected and in conversation, and providing places for that to happen is essential. So we head to Chapters, a Berlin bookshop with a mission; Bold Tendencies, a South London arts organisation breaking down the barriers between artist and audience; and Cinema Akil in Dubai, which has become a place of refuge during a turbulent year.
