24.01.2022 What is sound art? What is the starting point for composing a new multi-layered sound art work? Let’s find the answers and be inspired in this Q&A session with Dave Thomson (practising as Lost Few), the selected artist for Atmospherics: A Sound Based Residency. The residency will respond to the environment in and around Alex Wilkie Nature Reserve, with Dave developing an accessible sensory experience that celebrates local flora and fauna while also providing solace and ment...al wellbeing through natural sound.

15.01.2022 Say hello to Didem Caia. Didem is the selected artist for our Writer In Residency program. Didem is a playwright and theatre maker whose creative practice is a consistent conversation between storytelling, community and cultural development. I believe the writer’s role, is to respond to and interpret the times. To be the historian, to be awake, conscious and acutely aware of cultural implication, complexity and nuance; evolving through time and moulded through artistic faith.
