	Description:		Iranian graphic novelist Marjane Satrapi talks to Samira Ahmed about her new book - Women, Life, Freedom - which she has created with 17 Iranian and international comic book artists. Women, Life, Freedom tells the story of the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman detained for allegedly not properly wearing the Islamic headscarf in 2022 and the protest movement in Iran that grew from her death. In the Event of Moon Disaster is a new Emmy Award-winning exhibition at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in Norfolk. It uses artificial intelligence and portrayals of alternative history to ask what is truth? Centre Director Dr Jago Cooper and digital artist Francesca Panetta dive into conspiracy and misinformation, and discuss how an event as influential as the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing could be manipulated, and how doubt can be cast on even the most well-known facts. And Samira and producer Julian May follow the Harlow Sculpture Trail, encountering work by some of the greatest artists of the 20th century, including Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and Elisabeth Frink.
