Episode #16 Weaving Connections with Jamie Holman

Hello and welcome to the grateful web. I’m Dr Jo Clements -  artist, artists coach and your grateful web host  My guest today is the brilliant Jamie Holman     A multidisciplinary artist, Jamie Holman seeks to make visible the exciting connection and propositions that manifest when heritage collides with contemporary practice. His research often proposes the emergence of culture through the celebration of topics & movements including subcultures, trades unions, folklore, activism, mill workers, football, labour & poetry.  Jamie’s work includes deep research particularly into archives, often resulting in the discovery of unknown working class histories and stories of individuals who have impacted the future of our nation, it’s culture and communities.  He often works in collaboration with communities, many of whom are categorised as not engaging in art   Recent commissions include ‘Wonderful Electric’ a four-part commission for the capital development of Blackburn Youth Zone, and his solo exhibition ‘Contagious Acts’ at The Whitaker.https://www.jamieholman.co.uk   @jamie_holman_studio If you enjoyed this episode please follow, share, spread the word and look out for more brilliant conversations coming soon.
