In this podcast, artist Valerie Asiimwe Amani discusses her first live performance To dismantle a house which was jointly commissioned by the Roberts Institute of Art and South London Gallery and presented in June 2022.

RIA and South London Gallery invited Valerie to participate in a new five-week performance residency at South London Gallery. The work she developed whilst in residence presented a multisensory installation and performance that explored the intersection of cultures, reflecting Amani's diverse interests. 

During the conversation, Amani shares her experience of the residency, her feelings about performing live for the first time and reflects on the impact this experience has had on her artistic practice.

On Cyrus Says today, we’re joined by Ruskin Bond, one of India’s most celebrated authors. Cyrus talks to Ruskin about his latest book - Song Of The Forest. The show starts with Ruskin sharing with us how he thinks of himself as a reader first and a writer second. He tells the stories of how in the initial days, he wanted to be a football player & a tap dancer. From there, Cyrus picks up different stories from the book, and Ruskin takes us through his vision behind penning those down - some real, some made-up (still very close to reality). He talks about his approach to writing that revolves around the simplicity and depth of the subject matter. They discuss the many instances that inspired him to write down the various stories in the book. Abbas joins in after the break and shares a nostalgic story of him meeting Ruskin at the Jaipur Literature Festival. Further, Ruskin answers a few questions asked by his readers and fans. Tune in for this and much more!

Lizzie Siddall was the 19th century’s proto-supermodel. Her beauty inspired the artists and poets of her generation, who presented her as a mysterious, fairytale creature. We tend to know her through the filter of the men who painted her, but in the archives of the Ashmolean Museum, you can encounter the real Lizzie. Behind the silent muse of Pre-Raphaelite art was a vibrant, creative woman, who was herself a talented poet and artist. In this episode, meet one of history’s most famous models, on her own terms.
