Chris and Rifa sift through their past week in culture and the arts, with a nod to technology and representation. Freshly ground in Brighton on the English south coast.
It's the 99th Refigure episode!
Chris and Rifa are still mooching around Berlin. They go to the Heroines Of Sound all-women experimental music festival and join a guided tour of the legendary Hansa Studios overlooking the Wall, where David Bowie wrote and recorded 'Heroes'. They're also joined by special guest Tim Everest (@TimCamMan) for a flying visit.
Thanks for listening. Back home to the UK next time.

Ep 98: Berlin - Part One
A Berlin Special, as Chris and Rifa dive into that great city's arts and culture worlds, starting with major exhibitions: Cassirer And The Breakthrough Of Impressionism at the Old National Gallery, and Building Community: Göbeklitepe, Taş Tepeler and life 12,000 years ago at the James Simon Gallerie.
We also join the 48 Hour Neukolln open houses weekend, visit the KINDL gallery group show An Intimacy With Strangers and chat about food (mostly cakes) we've eaten.
I can't remember what books we picked.
Thanks for listening. We love you.
