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.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
