Hanna Komar, Belarusian poet, translator, and writer is our latest guest on The Art Persists Podcast! Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen - link in bio 🎙️

Hanna shares her early life where she found comfort in poetry, and later discovered the power of writing poetry in Belarusian rather than Russian.

She recounts the nationwide protests following the rigged presidential elections in Belarus, in which long-time President Lukashenka seized power once again. The protests were met with a fierce crackdown on activists, leading to Hanna and thousands of others being imprisoned.

While sharing her story, Hanna also recites some of her deeply powerful and emotive poetry. She concludes by telling us about her upcoming play, Body in Progress, coming to London next month.

Our latest guest on the Podcast is award-winning poet, playwright, author and editor, Joelle Taylor! Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.

Joelle opens the conversation by reading an extract for her brilliant new novel, The Night Alphabet, which combines q***r futurism and feminism over different timespans and geographies. Joelle unpacks the book and we chat about themes of patriarchy and the strength of solidarity between women across the globe, interwoven throughout.

We go on to talk about the role of art in offering different perspectives, even those we may not like and the state of the arts in the UK today.

Huge thanks to Joelle for chatting to us!
