I personally think that cross-cultural solidarity between communities of colour is absolutely essential to build the kinds of worlds that we want, in any of the areas that we're struggling at the moment.  - Suvendrini Lena In this episode we chat with our dear friend, mother, human, playwright, and neurologist Suvendrini Lena!  Suvendrini works as a neurologist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and the Women’s College Hospital. She has been an artist-in-residence at several artistic and medical organizations, including the Theatre Centre and the University of Toronto. She is also the writer of Rubble, a theatre project inspired by the poetry of Palestinian writers Lena Khalaf Tuffaha and Mahmoud Darwish and currently in development at Aluna Theatre and Theatre Passe Muraille.  We chat with Suvendrini about how her role as doctor influences her as a playwright and vice versa, and about what solidarity looks like in her work.    Show Notes:  Poems that inspired Rubble: Running Orders by Lena Khalaf
