Rose Linde, Tanya Nock, Ilonka Gotal and Julia Panfylova are aiming to break down barriers and defy stereotypes at the Casual Conversations event at Cultural Conversations in Morrison Square. Organiser Tanya Nock came up with the idea for Casual Conversations when she encountered a Living Library at WOMAD. “The idea is to challenge cultural stereotypes: instead of borrowing a book, you’re borrowing a person.”The 15-minute conversations help make a “human connection”, Nock said. Virginia Woolf/Stuff You can book a conversation with Ilonka Gotal about life growing up in post-war Croatia. For more information, visit Cultural Conversations Morrison Square.
