Graphic Interventions: a new podcast series

logo

Harriet is in the process of making Graphic Interventions, a new podcast series exploring political statements made through posters, banners, zines and other graphic forms, launching in autumn 2021.

In each short episode Harriet talks to one maker about one thing, to discover how it came about, what it meant then, and how it resonates now. The series includes interviews with banner-maker Ed Hall, subvertising collective Protest Stencil, poster-makers Conversations from Calais, Paris 68 Redux and See Red Women’s Workshop, a zine by OOMK and a mini-Daily Mail spoof made by Darren Cullen of Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives.

The podcast will launch in autumn 2021. It will be hosted by Soundcloud and available via Spotify and other standard streaming services. Follow on Soundcloud here.
