Empathy When
Reality has gotten strange. Throughout the summers of 2020 and 2021 we would like to invite 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 the world. 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! www.tropeztropez.de for full programmeHost and co-producer: John Holten Sound design, recording and co-producer: Jemowit Nowak Executive Producer: Nora Nele HeinerfetterPhotos: Inkk Agop
