An interview with artist Natalie Zervou-Kerruish about her restless sculpture, work with children and collaboration.

An interview with Glaswegian artist duo Pester and Rossi about their wide ranging participatory practice, including large-scale installations, events, parades and community projects. They discuss the ethics of letting people do what they like with your work, spending materials budgets on paying other people and forming an all female art-punk band. They are currently running a new project called Rumpus Room at the Govanhill Community Centre in Glasgow. https://pesterandrossi.com/ https://www.instagram.com/pesterandrossi/?hl=en

An interview with artists Annis Joslin and Sarah Cole about their collaborative, participatory practice, in particular a recent project called Messy Business with Joining Hands Joining Hearts, a group for women in Kent who are survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse. The project was co-commissioned by People United. Despite the weight of these women's experiences Annis and Sarah approached the project with characteristic humour and sensitivity. We talk to them about their approach to running workshops, working together and on reforming the material into an installation called The Light and the Load at Fabrica in Brighton. www.annisjoslin.com/ www.sarah-cole.co.uk/ www.joininghandsjoininghearts.org https://peopleunited.org.uk/2019/01/messy-business-moving-forward/ www.fabrica.org.uk/making-space-light-and-the-load
