Paperweight Radio: Collections (S2, EP1)

This live radio discussion broadcast on Resonance 104.4fm brought together artists, designers, architects, curators, historians, theorists, writers and scientists to discuss topics within the fields of visual and material culture.

I was producer and host of the series and of the individual broadcasts, work which included conceiving of the concept for the series, developing the themes, identifying and booking guests, conducting pre-show interviews and research, drafting scripts and training guests for radio presentation of their work. I was also host of the live shows, introducing themes and topics and interviewing the guests.

In this episode on Collections, featured guests included Goldsmiths’ Curator of Art and Textile Collections Jenny Doussan; material culture specialists and historians Leonie Hannan and Kate Smith from University College London’s 100 Hours Project; Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture’s Head of Museum Collections Zoë Hendon; and the artist and writer Jane Wildgoose, keeper of the Wildgoose Memorial Library.
