Welcome to the seventh episode of our podcast series. Listen via our CCA SoundCloud here. Pinar Aksu & Iman Tajik speak about the process of creating and curating The Sea of Paperwork, a project led by Maryhill Integration Network in collaboration with young people from across Glasgow; Eirene Houston from Havana Glasgow Film Festival on this year's programme and the black humour common to Glaswegian and Cuban culture; Gerry Rossi effuses about the spontaneity, reciprocity and inclusion that underpins GIOfest, Glasgow's annual festival of improvisation; and Travis Alabanza on breaking the rules of theatre and how making a burger can open up a conversation about complicity in transphobia. Pinar Aksu & Iman Tajik, The Sea of Paperwork & Maryhill Integration Network (55s) Eirene Houston, Havana Glasgow Film Festival (15m 24s) Gerry Rossi, GIOfest (32m 45s) Travis Alabanza, performance (46m 30s) Across this series, Gareth K Vile (Theatre Editor of The List Magazine, who also blogs wild critical theory here) chats to some of the amazing people who make, produce and contribute to our programme: from artists, curators and programmers, to community organisers and social clubs. We'll take a deep dive into exhibitions, gigs, performances and events - exploring the ideas and ethos that underpin our approach to programming and how you can get involved.
