NGV RadioNGV Radio S2E8 - Poetry as ConnectionThis 8th episode of the 2nd Season we feel we fucked it up, as it is really becoming too professional and smooth, we think. Or was it just a wonderful conversation with Rick Dove, flowing in such a way that it felt too good for our amateur radio skills? Rick is a black, London based poet, who talks beautifully and inspiring about bringing his experience to an audience, managing to impact people with his words about race, or about capitalism, or about what he thinks that could agitate a crowd that needs some agitation :). 2021-05-201h 32

NGV RadioNGV Radio S2E7 - Polarization on both sides of the GlobeIn this week's broadcast, we meet with Lena Grigoreva and Elena Lasaja, two prominent gestalt therapists from Belarus, where chaos and divide have dominated communal life since August 9th 2020 and has polarized not only the political debate, but also everyday life, families, friendships, and personal experiences. We will be exploring with them how they deal with that polarisation on different levels, how to support and lack support, and what they have learned from these recent experiences? What can we bring from gestalt theory and practice to aid our understanding and provide support to those...2021-04-221h 27

This might seem like an unimportant technical detail, but it actually says a lot about the flow and intensity of our conversation with Kristin Verellen. We had planned to cut to recordings brought to us by Ron Jesiolowski, who was so kind to provide us with a painting and a poem of his, but we realised the conversation needed to get all the space. Luckily we're in the process of planning a...2021-02-181h 32

NGV RadioNGV Radio S2E1 - MalenessThe first show of our second season seems an effort, we have to search for our motivation and reflect on where and how we temporarily lost our excitement and how shame and being male might play a role in that. After an intro, where we re-unite for the new season, we invite a dear gestalt colleague from Georgia, Zviadi 'Zeek' Ekizashvilli. We talk about being male in our current world and how that proves more difficult lately, despite the obvious priviliges we have. We talk about being male in the gestalt community and Zeek shares how it...2021-01-281h 32

You can listen for yourself. Luckily we had some footage from Inge Van Droogenbroeck, a Belgian gestalt colleague who worked as a nurse in a...2020-12-171h 30

NGV RadioNGV Radio S1E4 - Addressing Race with a Descendant of the Mangrove 9In our fourth episode we are trying to have a conversation about race, with Nnandi Lecointe, a black UK-based trainee gestalt therapist. Nnandi talks about the legacy of being the daughter of one of the Mangrove 9, as featured in the recently released BBC/Amazon Prime film. Trying to make sense of our male whiteness and our own racism, proved to be hard and sticky on a radio show. So much we could say about it here and so little that wouldn't be food for projections. So better you have a listen and find out yourself. 2020-11-261h 28
