Guest: Sam Samiee, painter

In this episode Robert van Altena interviews Sam Samiee about his work, the meeting of different traditions and understanding the world, or trying to do so, through poetry. As point of departure of their conversation they have chosen two of his works that are presently included in two separate exhibitions.

The painterly installation ‘The Sky River & A Piece of the Sky’ (2015)), is part of True Colors in Kunstmuseum Den Haag  (up until the 29th of september).
