Episode 78: Kully Thiarai - Leeds 2023

I had a great time chatting to Kully Thiarai, Creative Director and CEO of Leeds 2023 - the city's international year of culture.

"For one whole year, we’re Letting Culture Loose. 

In partnership with world-class creatives, homegrown talent, local communities and international arts organisations, together we’re creating a celebration that's about Leeds, for Leeds, by Leeds.

LEEDS 2023 is an explosive, bold and imaginative Year of Culture packed with creativity. We’re showing off Leeds to the world, putting the city front and centre in the nation’s mind as an exciting and vibrant cultural hotspot. From dance to design, poetry to pop and sculpture to sport, Leeds has something for everyone."

Kully chose to feature the track "Tomorrow" by Ntantu which opened The Awakening in January.
