This will be exceptional! Dean Rodney Jr was a sensation at last year's DTT Festival and the ensemble from Belgium look set to be immense!

Mansoor’s new work: Letters From Guantanamo. Well worth lending your ears to this - he’s a remarkable man whose expressiveness has been forged in the most troubling circumstances.

You Didn't See Nothin won the Pulitzer Prize yesterday, one of 2 projects from this tiny org to do so. Recently, Invisible Institute released the following. I don't think it's a coincidence that allowing journalists to be humans in the world resulted in nuanced, rigorous, very human work
