Join us for a special, Women's Safety, Street SmArt edition of The Sydenham Arts Podcast, where we talk all things, Sydenham, Lewisham and Beyond!
In this episode, our host, Angela Eyton, talks with Ellie Reeves (MP for Lewisham West and Penge), Henna Bakhshi (Sydenham Artist) and Jack Duddy (owner of Leo Food) about the topic of women's safety. What exactly are the issues? What role does art have to play in all of this? What can the community do to help?
