Another year goes by and it was... well, definitely different than the last one but still quite weird. The second consecutive Covid year was a rollercoaster ride of emotions where hope and despair went hand in hand and we're surely finished yet.

Today, we're honouring the fifty records that meant the most to us in the past twelve months.
On her search for hope in times of despair, Peruvian artist Sofia Kourtesis found it in the work of a famous neurosurgeon and her Berlin community.

Norman Fleischer met with Sofia to discuss some of these topics.
