Empathy When starts with Dani Ghassan Arbid. Born in London, raised in Abu Dhabi, Arbid is a writer, filmmaker and recent entrepreneur. He has worked and lived in Istanbul, Beirut and Berlin where, in 2018, he co-founded Barakunan GmbH, a publishing and media start-up. In September 2019, he was awarded the inaugural Büro BDP Writing Prize, with the novel »The Year of Things Lost« forthcoming in 2020.
This summer Broken Dimanche Press' John Holten invites you to join us at the poolside in TROPEZ for a series of 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 our surroundings. It's empathy building. It's also fun. Between weekly live readings and interactions with the TROPEZ live webcam, BDP and TROPEZ are excited to announce Empathy When, Tropez Writing Podcast! We will be recording our invited guests and producing a weekly podcast for you to enjoy, socially distanced storytelling!
