158, Javid Jah on art, public space and alternative cosmologies

On Free City Radio this week a conversation with artist and designer Javid Jah who speaks about the ways that alternative cosmologies can be shared and manifested through art. Also on projects that explore ideas and cultural expression from the margins in the context of public space. Specifically Javid speaks about contemporary visions around the role of Islamic inspired art in the context of an artistic practice that involves alternative readings of space in the city. This interview came together out of an encounter with Javid in the context of a series of conversations organized by Inspirit Foundation, thank you to Angie Balata.
