In this series we explore a foundational theme of interest across the world and to diverse communities: Culture and the City. Although cities are crucial in providing the material basis and audiences for institutions such as museums, galleries and theatres – and the series interviews architects and curators who design and run key ones – cities are also where peoples from different cultures meet, mix and co-create culture, from the bottom up. In this podcast Tim Williams interviews Sara M Hamka, one of the founders of the Bankstown Poetry Slam in Sydney, Australia - a cultural and civic initiative of international interest which has drawn a large number of young people from the migrant communities in Sydney’s West together to express themselves as artists and performers but also as shapers of their city.
