In this episode of the podcast we revisit our Dash Café ON THE BORDER, which explored the experience of living on the border through the prism of art, film, music, literature and economics.

We reflected on the actual borders that existed for our speakers growing up on the edges of the Iron Curtain and today’s visible and invisible borders with Berlin-based author, composer and editor-in-chief of Flaneur Magazine Fabian Saul, visual artist Mariana Gordan (originally from Romania), Norwegian-born economist and Financial Times columnist Martin Sandbu and live music from Slovakian vocalist Lori Secanska and Greek-Cypriot guitarist Iakovos Loukas.
