British-Iraqi architect Dame Zaha Hadid talks about her earliest influences

The first woman to be awarded architecture's highest honour, the Pritzker Prize, Dame Zaha Hadid talks about growing up in Iran.

In the Arts Hour this week Nikki Bedi has chosen a wealth of cultural delights. African writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie reads from her new story about immunisation, the Coen brothers come clean about diversity, money and Hollywood and the great jazz musician Abdullah Ibrahim performs one of his sublime pieces.  There is more of course including world famous architect Dame Zaha Hadid,  Nigeria singer Tiwa Savage and tenor superstar Roberto Alagna but you need to tune in or listen online to discover why Nikki has highlighted their work.
