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.
