Listen to Gerard Purvis on the ArtyParti podcast:
Poetry, novels, audio drama, mixed media storytelling, flash fiction, stand-up, and short story writing. The stars just so happened to align at our second Show & Tell back in December 2024, in the creative cafe and clothing store ‘Port Independent’, that every attendee who shared their practice worked with creative writing and storytelling.
Multi-disciplinary artist Mim Robson challenged herself to a 100-Days of Storytelling project, turning scraps of paper and cut-up books into a series of short stories told inside matchboxes and tiny frames.
