Coming soon: Interview with Francesca Albanese on Gaza

Humanitarian and international law have been undermined by a year of war against civilians in Gaza and other Palestinian territories, according to the UN rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese. 

For RFI, I asked her how the region can get out of a now region-wide conflict between Israel and his neighbours, following Hamas's attack on 7 October 2023. 

Interview to air early November.

 

Textile waste: Interview with Greenpeace Africa

 

Listen to Sam Quashie-Idun and Hellen Dena from Greenpeace Africa in my podcast, Spotlight on Africa:

This video was produced for my podcast's new episode, which focuses on textile waste from fast fashion. As cheap clothes from China, Asia and Europe increasingly end up in West Africa, pollution is rising – particularly in Ghana.

For RFI English, I spoke to Greenpeace Africa investigators to understand the scale of the issue and how to combat it.

TERRA: AN EXHIBITION ACROSS CULTURAL HERITAGE SITES IN BURGUNDY, FRANCE

Welcome to the TERRA exhibition at the Chateau de Chevigny-en-Valière, near Beaune, Burgundy, France...

TERRA is a site-specific art exhibition held in Burgundy's UNESCO World Heritage vineyards, blending art and wine. Curated by Jenn Ellis 
(Apsara Studio) and Emie Diamond, and produced 
by Milena Berman (Hautes Côtes), TERRA features multidisciplinary works by emerging and established artists. 

Set in historic châteaux, convents, theatres, and hôtel particuliers, the exhibition explores the concept of terroir, reflecting the relationship between art, place, and history. Visitors are taken 
on a sensory journey through painting, sculpture, ceramics, and installations in and around Beaune's medieval surroundings.
