As part of ARTIVAL RE:CONNECT, a Nordic multilingual cultural festival spearheaded by IMMART, Red Transmissions Podcast presents writer, producer and director Vladislav Nenchev.

Vladislav Nenchev is a part-time human, with a mild compulsion for over-analysis. Vladislav writes short pieces of fiction that explore the fault line between knowledge and emotions, tackling restless questions like: How do we feel? Why? How to use it for better, than for worse? Where the hell are my glasses? Vladislav Nenchev is a part of the following creative collectives: – a member of Helsinki Writers’ Group since November 2017; – a member of The Finn-Brit Players since August 2019. With The Finn-Brit Players, Vladislav has participated as a playwright, director, producer, stage manager, sound & lights operator, and, very occasionally, reciting monologues or poems. He also joined The Helsinki University Science Fiction Club in a couple of issues of their fiction newspaper Marvin – The Lehti.

Yemi Butterman is a Nigerian Poet and Narrative Fiction Author who finds solace in all forms of creative symphonies. His love for life is intertwined with a deep interest in literature, culture, and social issues.Yemi is the author of Two Geniuses and a Fool and Pride of the Middle One, his first two published works of fiction that have ignited a profound sense of wonder about language as an end to justifying the disregard of migrants' potential within the Nordic world.

Driven by curiosity, Yemi continues to challenge the notion of "rightness" and "truth," through storytelling, engaging themes such as identity, heritage, and migrant experiences in the North, which greatly shape the trajectory of his writings. 

Yemi speaks to the Red Transmissions Podcast from the library of Nordic Culture Point in Helsinki, Finland, as part of the cultural festival ARTIVAL.

Ukrainian actor, scriptwriter and songwriter Elena Sophya shares an intimate narration of the challenges and experiences faced in recent months which led to her relocation in London, where she now continues to seek fulfillment of her dreams as an artist.

Swedish journalist, critic and literary coordinator Mats Granberg joined the Red transmissions podcast during Tranås at the Fringe to talk about the points of connection that make a good conversation, a good interview, and most importantly, a good book.
