ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Writer and theatre producer Iman Alidoosti runs an amazing space in Kypseli in central Athens, Greece. The Boat Collective is a community arts centre with all kinds of classes including writing, painting, performance art and music. We did some writing workshops there and the next episode will also feature some of the poets who came to them. But for now, welcome to this conversation where Iman explains why poetry is so important to him, reads a piece by Rumi - first in Farsi, then in English - and we also talk about how community spaces in the arts can add a very different dimension to an artists practice.
With thanks to the Arts Council of Ireland for funding these classes, live events and this podcast series.
