Writer, poet and spoken-word performer, Ifti joins us to talk about the inspirations behind his work and how his creative practice and outlook has evolved over the past couple of years. We explore his early influence on the founding of Juice and how that influence has manifested in another project for Ifti, Off The Chest. Off The Chest is a spoken word poetry night that Ifti co-founded and co-hosts alongside Ella Dorman-Gajic.
You can find out more about Off the Chest on Instagram @offthe_chest and Ifti at @YungIfto on Instagram/Twitter or on his website <a href="https://www.yungifto.com/">https://www.yungifto.com/</a> .
This episode was recorded via Zoom, which may explain a few sounds snafus here and there...but we tried our best to present you with our conversation with the best possible quality.&nbsp;
