The Author Speaks

Society EN ↓ 6 episodes

The Author Speaks (T-A-S) series, is a short interview where we find out a little about the approach and inspirations of different female producers of text, focussing each time on one of their works. Our circle of guests extends globally to women that in some way or another, engage with an idea of architecture. The podcast was created by the editorial team of womenwritingarchitecture.org, Helen Thomas and Emilie Appercé with the help of Jaehee Shin.
