MESKLA | Brewyon Drudh #2 A Conversation with Artists Part 1

The push and pull of connection to place - belonging, othering, disconnection, discrimination and barriers imposed by others. Pace and space, drekly does it, wildness, rough edges, more commodification, and what just is. 

 

Artists Libita Sibungu, Georgia Gendall, &  Liam Jolly share their experiences of growing up in Cornwall & becoming artists. They also talk about how their relationship to Cornwall has shifted over the years and how it plays out in their work.

 

We had planned to all be in a room together to have this conversation. But we were meeting on one of the hottest days of the year, when a storm brought the first rain for weeks and disrupted rail and road travel and took out some mobile masts. In very Cornish fashion we were disrupted by weather, and we couldn’t all be in the same place, so we recorded the conversation in two parts.

 

This is Part 1, I am joined by Georgia and Liam. Georgia is an artist, gardener, baker and member of the band ShagRat. Georgia has set up projects such as The Allotment Club, Residency in Shed and Forced Collaboration. Liam is an artist, curator and member of the band Disco Roccoco. Liam also set-up and runs the Redruth gallery, Auction House. 

 

Please note: These podcasts were recorded in different locations and with a range of equipment. As such the sound quality varies and at times external factors are more present than ideal in the recordings.
