MESKLA, a podcast series that I began in 2022 as part of MESKLA | Brewyon Drudh, considers issues of authenticity, fractured culture, colonialism, the links between indigenous language, intangible and living cultural heritage and identity, and where and how art takes part in this conversation, or makes space for it. The series uses Kernow (Cornwall) as a key site and reference point for its content.

These podcasts record conversations between me, Sovay Berriman, and guests whose research or lived experienced touches on the project themes. The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed are the speaker’s own. All conversations are carried out with a spirit of generosity and openness, creating space for the discussions to twist and turn.

Please note: These podcasts were recorded in different locations and with a range of equipment. As such the sound quality varies and at times external factors are more present than ideal in the recordings.
