Culture Operating in the Margins

Outsiders and marginalised groups making a cultural impact through music, theatre and film.

With Tina Daheley.

From China we hear the story of Li Zhong Dong, a so called 'outsider artist' who is gaining recognition for his work made from rubbish and other cheap materials.

How a nightclub called Mejunje - meaning potion - led the way in changing perceptions of gay people in Cuba.

Why the art therapy methods of Nise da Silveira have become part of public debate about the treatment of mental illness in Brazil.

Brothers Rene and Clifford, or Flash and Risky, discuss the prejudice they encountered growing up with albinism in Cameroon, and how they're using music to change perceptions of their condition.
