À propos de ce contenu audio

Everyone has a podcast these days, and now so does Oliver Kirkham.

Join Oliver and a series of guests as they explore creativity in everyday life: answering questions that nobody asked, like 'How is THAT art?', 'What is a gallery?' and 'Why do all museums smell like that?'.

With an overarching theme of Mental Health, conversations uncover art's ability to help us engage with the world and find solace amongst the challenges life throws at us. This podcast aims to give a safe space for guests to share their experiences, with the hopes that listeners learn more about themselves through others - and the beauty in the hidden art that surrounds us as we walk through life.

Oliver believes that everyone is innately creative. And this podcast is an open invitation to the artist's cerebral studio. Whether you make art, hate art or just want something to put on in the background as you do laundry - anyone can be an Armchair Artist. So come and hang out in the studio, Oliver's put the kettle on.

      Do you have anxiety or depression? Well so do we, and boy do we talk about it. This week's guest is illustrator Louis Burrows, an illustrator who shares his experience with anxiety and depression and how drawing has helped him express his feelings and ask for help. This is a great episode with lots of good stuff covered and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording it. Thanks Louis!
