GBA 289 - Shane Solanki

In GBA 289 we get better acquainted with Shane Solanki. We talk about identity, belonging, sustainability, masculinity, storytelling, time, science, art, connection, pain, love, change and lots more. It's a really wide ranging conversation which is both very theoretical and very personal, recorded on a sunny spring Saturday morning on a balcony overlooking a canal in Hackney Wick.
