"A Studio On The Atlantic" brings together two pioneering universities in creative writing on both sides of the Atlantic: Université Paris 8 in France and the University of Iowa in the US. During four years, student-writers from these three universities write and produce literary podcasts. After a first series in 2023 on the theme of "Sense of belonging", this season is focused on "Soulèvements/Uprising". A production by Frictions and R22 Tout-Monde, made possible with the support of L’École Universitaire de Recherche ArTeC, The Villa Albertine Foundation and the U.S. Embassy in France.
