This summer the audience is invited to join us at the poolside in TROPEZ for a series of live readings and poolside chats with writers, poets and artists. Literature has the means to help us escape, reimagine the world anew, or offer bold new ways to engage with the world. It's empathy building. It's also fun. Between weekly interactions with the Tropez live webcam, BDP and TROPEZ produce Empathy When - the TROPEZ Writing Podcast! We will be recording the conversations of John Holten with his guests Dani Arbid, Samantha Bohatsch, Alan Murrin, Mitch Speed, Musa Okwonga, Elif Saydam, Jasmine Reimer, Adam Fearon, and Anna Szaflarski for the public to enjoy socially distanced storytelling!
For episode nine, John Holten is pleased to welcome Turkish-Canadian artist, writer, and performer Elif Saydam, who also contributed the wonderful artwork Déjà Vu to TROPEZ's online exhibition. Saydam will read excerpts from her texts and talk with John Holten about the importance of narratives to her work. In 2020, Saydam, who lives in Berlin, exhibited at Franz Kaka in Toronto and Tanya Leighton in Berlin, among others. In 2019, her novel co-written with Vera Palme was published.
