Dwell Time, in collaboration with Yorkshire Visual Arts Network (YVAN) have published a series of podcasts featuring interviews with local artists, that focus on topics such as mental health and the impact of COVID-19 on their practice.
The ‘Dwell Awhile’ podcast features conversations with artists interviewed by Dwell Time co-curator Alice Bradshaw.
Local Artists
Alice spoke with several local artists for the podcast, including:
- Sam Read, a multi-disciplinary artist, founding member of GLOAM studios in Sheffield, and member of The Retro Bar collective.
- Bryan Tweddle, a Halifax based multidisciplinary artist and co-founder, director and collaborator on various local and international cultural and community festivals and events.
- Claye Bowler, a Huddersfield based artist exploring queer and trans narratives including running Yonder Gallery, a queer & trans artist-led residency programme with gallery space.
- Hannah Lamb and Lucy Lound, Sheffield based artists and co-founders of WOMP Space, a studio and project space supporting emerging artists.
The podcasts are available to watch on the Dwell Time YouTube channel.
Resilience
In choosing which artists to interview, Alice says she mapped out a network of artists recommended as ‘resilient’ by their peers.
With her Dwell Time co-curators Vanessa Haley and Lenny Szrama, Alice talks to the artists about how they have been since their initial conversations in 2019, and how Covid-19 and lockdown have impacted their practices and mental wellbeing.
Dwell Time is an award-winning, not-for-profit publication reflecting on mental wellbeing, established in 2018 by Alice Bradshaw, Vanessa Haley and Lenny Szrama.
