Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Welcome to our very first podcast recorded in front of an audience at a festival! We were delighted to be asked to join the University of Glasgow UNESCO Chair in Refugee Integration through Languages and the Arts at the Solas Festival in beautiful Perthshire. <br> <br> <br> <br> And the weather was really good, which it always is in (cough) Scotland. It certainly made the camping experience better although midgies did make themselves known.<br> <br> <br> <br> This podcast features two artists. <br> <br> <br> <br> Fawaz Raif is a Syrian actor who after acting for one year, is in a show called The Trojans. The Trojans is a new adaptation of Euripides’ Trojan Women performed by Syrian Refugees. It will be touring the UK including performances at the Edinburgh Festival. He will soon film a movie called “The Hipples”. For a person who has been acting for one year. He’s doing very well! And of his first love football? Listen and find out more. <br> <br> <br> <br> Farzane Zamen is an Iranian musician, producer, and songwriter. She released albums and singles in Persian as well as English. She has won awards and she has spent a lot of time in Glasgow writing and recording her songs, thanks to Glad Cafe and Green Door Studios. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Hear Farzane Zamen’s new release Bavar de Farda playing in the link above.
