Ep 29 - Wrapping up the first series

Today’s episode is the last In this first series of the Christchurch Invitation. (Before a break of a couple of months)Here I’ve pulled together a few clips to give something of the flavour of these conversations: Mark Solomon and Raesha Ismail on connections; John Sellwood on stories and who owns them; John Psathas on music to give people hope; and Jeremy Faumuinā with how you carry yourself in another person’s place – and on the Vā: the concept of the spaces between us.Plus a look ahead to the first conversations in the upcoming Series Two . . . we plan to open with two conversations via zoom. They're with Arianna Gayle Stucki and Adam Elsayegh in the USA, in discussion on how their verbatim drama "Memorial" came to be. We've talked about how stories get told; who tells them; and how that telling may take the story away from the one it belongs to. "Memorial" is about those who have experienced hurt and how their experiences can be properly heard. It calls on the March 2019 experience but it has already spoken across different experiences of loss in different settings.
