Paterson Joseph, Samson Kambalu and Leta McCollough Seletzky Interviewed by Bidisha Mamata

BBC World Service is recording a special edition of The Arts Hour from the FT Weekend Oxford Literary Festival, which will focus on authors and artists who are retelling history and reclaiming narratives.

Joining our host Bidisha Mamata onstage will be her guests the actor and author Paterson Joseph (The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho: A Novel), visual artist and writer Samson Kambalu (The Jive Talker Or, How to Get a British Passport) and lawyer-turned author Leta McCollough Seletzky (The Kneeling Man).

They’ll be discussing their own work and their approaches to highlighting new perspectives on moments in history from the abolition of slavery and the assassination of Dr Martin Luther King Jr to writing African family history.

The event will be recorded for broadcast on BBC World Service radio. Tickets are free but must be booked through the box office.
