Judee Kisob - Kisob Kreations, Baloise Session 2019, Win Tickets to Michael Kiwanuka and Brittany Howard Concert!

Broadcast on: 
24 September, 2019

Designer Judee Kisob came into the studio to tell us about her atelier Kisob Kreations, which provides furniture, furnishings and accessories. The common thread that runs through them is Africa - ethnic and tribal traces of Africa are in all of her pieces. The pieces are sometimes new but mostly recycled, upcycled, re-upholstered, vintage and antique. The atelier comprises a showroom for her online shop, Tribal Traces (formerly Afrodizzy), and also has a workshop, pop-up space, plus a kitchen area and courtyard for a cuppa with passers-by. Judee Kisob has a grand opening coming up on the 28th September from 4 to 8 p.m. at Spalentorweg 4 in Basel. There will be live music, drinks, soul food, a free workshop, pop-up shops and a showroom. Not only that, but you get 15% off if you buy anything at the opening! Listen to the interview here.

 

For the past 33 years, major stars have been coming to the Baloise Session music festival. There's a diverse line-up of pop, rock, singer-songwriter, soul, funk, blues, jazz and world music in each programme, with about 20‘000 people visiting each year. This year's Baloise Session features another great line-up, with artists such as Herbert Grönemeyer, Brad Paisley, Rag'N'Bone Man, Michael Kiwanuka, Snow Patrol, Madrugada and many more performing at the Messe Basel from 12 - 31 October 2019. The English Show talked to Baloise Session CEO Beatrice Stirnimann about the festival's history, the work behind it, and what makes it unique. Details on the Baloise Session programme are here.
