Six of the twelve artists & creatives “step up to the microphone” at our first ‘Show & Tell’ event at Port Independent in Sunderland, to share their projects and practice.

From (literally) shining a light on the environmental destruction of 'ghost-fishing', to the restorative healing of collective water-colouring when dealing with grief, our artists & creatives share recent projects and passions that they've been working on recently.

You'll hear an audio retelling of moving to the UK from Greece in seeking queer friendlier culture, how an illustrator responded to creating illustrations for an audio drama, how building in intentional mistakes can inform an artist's practice, and the 45-hour embroidered 'clown pendant' design that celebrates often maligned working class culture.
