SUMMARY:Counterpoints in Conversation radio series on Resonance FM
DESCRIPTION:Counterpoints in Conversation is a brand new radio series on Resonance FM\, in collaboration with Gaby D’Annunzio.\nListen HERE \nThe broadcast series brings together socially engaged artists\, filmmakers\, writers\, and activists reshaping how we think about displacement\, racial and climate justice and social change. Across six episodes\, we ask how different forms of artistic expression can shift what we believe is possible when imagining a fairer and more just world. \nThe series will be hosted by DJ\, broadcaster\, and curator\, Gaby D’Annunzio. Before working with Counterpoints\, Gaby was based in Berlin\, where she co-founded the Open Music Lab\, a free music production school for marginalised communities\, and served as Head of Community Development at Refuge Worldwide\, a community radio station. As a broadcaster and record collector\, Gaby brings a perspective shaped by years of exploring music scenes and the cultural narratives behind them. Gaby produces Refugee Week on Air at Counterpoints\, the yearly international radio programming marking Refugee Week. \nFollow the conversation across monthly shows\, and you will meet inspiring and talented artists\, covering different experiences of migration and art making. \nThe broadcasts are on the last Friday of each month at 5.30pm\, from 23rd January on Resonance FM at 104.4 FM in central London and online worldwide. \nYou can listen to previous episodes here: \nEpisode 1: in conversation with Ornella Mutoni and Maria Marrone \nEpisode 2: in conversation with MoYah and Carlota Matos \n  \nAbout Gaby D’Annunzio: \n\n\n\n\n\nGaby is a London-based Creative Producer and Broadcaster.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this role\, she works with radio stations and creative partners around the world to platform stories of migration\, solidarity\, and cultural exchange\, while also contributing to the development of the Refugee Week music programme. \n\n\n\n\n\nBefore working with Counterpoints\, Gaby was based in Berlin\, where she co-founded the Open Music Lab\, a free music production school for marginalised communities\, and served as Head of Community Development at Refuge Worldwide\, a community radio station and fundraising platform. \nAs a broadcaster and lifelong record collector\, Gaby brings a perspective shaped by years of exploring music scenes and the cultural narratives behind them.

SUMMARY:Refugee Week 15-21 June 2026
DESCRIPTION:Refugee Week is the world’s largest arts and culture festival celebrating the contributions\, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary.\nEstablished in the UK in 1998\, Refugee Week is co-ordinated by Counterpoints Arts and takes place every year around World Refugee Day (20th June). It has grown into a global movement with over 2 million participants\, across over 20 countries. Through an exciting programme of thousands of events\, activities and media campaigns\, Refugee Week brings together people from different backgrounds to connect beyond labels\, and foster a deeper understanding of why people are displaced\, and the challenges they face when seeking safety. \nRefugee Week 2026 will be 15-21st June with the theme of Courage. \nBy providing a platform for people who have sought sanctuary to share their experiences\, perspectives and creative work on their own terms\, our vision is for refugees and asylum seekers to be able to live safely within inclusive and resilient communities\, where they can continue to make a valuable contribution. \nThis year\, Quentin Blake’s joyful illustrations will sit at the centre of the Simple Acts campaign — a series of nine everyday actions anyone can take to show solidarity with refugees and help build more welcoming communities. Blake’s bright\, playful drawings will appear on postcards\, posters and other materials for communities\, schools\, libraries \, arts organisations and individuals to use at their own events. \nRead more about Refugee Week\, including how you can take part.
