What comes to mind when you hear the word love? Is it romantic relationships? Friendships? Self-love? Community?
Arts and cultural curator Bigoa Choul joins us this week to make sense of a concept that is so polarizing.
Today’s episode is inspired by an upcoming event called ‘Let's Talk Love’ hosted by Bigoa Chuol and featuring the contributors of 'Growing Up African in Australia'. The event is part of the Melbourne Writers Festival.
