Finding Calm in Public Spaces

Why public space matters for culture in London, Istanbul and Nairobi.

Wolfgang Buttress is the artist behind a giant interactive beehive which has landed at London鈥檚 Kew Gardens. He explains why he is using his work to highlight the situation of the world鈥檚 bees.

Also, Turkish writer Burhan Sonmez considers the ways that his home city of Istanbul has changed and British poet Dean Atta presents a brand new poem, written after the massacre at Orlando鈥檚 gay nightclub, Pulse. Finally, we hear from musical therapist and singer Wanny Angerer about how art can change lives on a local level, at a Nairobi cancer centre. Presented by Tina Daheley.
