a dreamer's night talks - episode 03 - on the paradoxes of online connections
In this third episode, I am reading a poem of mine about texting and the importance of nurturing our own imagination. Then I move onto the fatigue, yet necessity, for online connections, especially in these times of crisis when we still cannot see, hug and physically connect with our loved ones as well as our readers and audiences. I'm also touching on the responsibility we have, as cultural event organisers, in creating safe spaces for our audiences when we currently have little choice but to move our activities online. I hope you will enjoy it!
The festival I am talking about and working for is Read My World, in Amsterdam: www.readmyworld.nl/
The Instagram post I mention is this one: www.instagram.com/p/CAlNiqbFvdi/?u…ig_web_copy_link
