Refigure E08 – Windrush & DoomRoom
Chris and Rifa dig into their week in culture. This week we taped the show on an iPhone internal microphone, in a hotel room in central Edinburgh, so forgive us if the sound is a bit off. We went to the V&A in London to check out the Video Games exhibition but got distracted by the even better Future Starts Now exhibition about how technology is reshaping all our lives. We also checked out Danish company Makropol's intense, immersive (mixed reality) theatre production Doom Room at The Old Market in Hove. Rifa is reading articles about how the UK Government is mistreating the Windrush Generation and Chris is digging into the new Haruki Murakami short story collection Men Without Women. We're in Scotland because we're on our way up to Dundee to check out the new Victoria & Albert Design Museum that just opened. So next week's episode will feature this gorgeous new V&A and our short Scottish mini-adventure.
