Perceptions of Becoming with Maryam Ghouth

In this episode, we discuss the three-part poetry film Journey of Becoming. A reading of the poem Your Autonomy,  (part I) of ‘The Journey of Becoming’, which is a series of philosophical poetry films about self-realization. The purpose behind this film is to describe the struggles we face when we step away from the trodden path to follow our own unique path. 

Maryam Ghouth is of Persian, Saudi, Scottish heritage and leads a quiet life in Dubai where she spends most of her time reading, writing, recording, and creating poetry films. 

She composes and narrates stories about different facets of the human experience in collaboration with musicians, artists, and filmmakers to create immersive audio tracks, poetry films, and experiential art. 

The topics she covers range from existential crises to love and the fear of loss. She combines the tenets of psychology with the big questions of philosophy, challenges social narratives, ponders existential unknowns, and gives voice to the raw emotions undulating the human condition.''
