Hip-hop scholar, esteemed illustrator and all round head Ted Draws holds down a killer 2 hour monthly slot on Thursday afternoons.

SHAPE+, previously known as SHAPE, is a European platform for innovative music and art. It is artist-oriented, and, every year, it creates a selection of exceptional emerging talent via open call and curatorial voting, to then foster their careers with performance invitations, collaborative residencies, commissions, seminars and networking events. SHAPE+ consists of 18 non-profit venues and festivals, including Unsound, CTM, Construction and Intonal, and is co-funded by the European Union, and, as of middle of 2024, also Pro Helvetia.

Folk

In this episode Lucia Kagramanyan delves deep into the Armenian lullaby tradition and the authorship of women behind this ancient craft, and transmission of sorrow, trauma and joys of Armenian people reflected in it. Hear lullabies from different parts of Western and Eastern Armenia following folk tradition as well as lullabies in classical pop, opera from the Soviet period. The project is curated by League of Tenders, as a part of Vleeshal's Nomadic Program 2024–2025, entitled “Repetition is a Form of Changing.” Vleeshal is a center for contemporary art in Middelburg, the Netherlands, recognized for versatile, vibrant, and vital projects presented both within the walls of its unique Gothic exhibition space and beyond.
