I Heart Kotti: Conversations from Inside the Gecekondu

The September edition of URSA brought you the piece "Show Yourself" by producer, Julia Joubert. In it, we met Matti, a core member of the protest movement; Kotti & Co as he shares his insights on how the community maintains connection. In this bonus episode, you get to hear the full interview - from how location scouts and TV shows perpetuate the "grime" narrative that hangs over Kotti, to coming down from the intense protest experience, the pseudo knowledge of a neighbourhood and whether Matti truly feels he can lean on his community.
