Rogue studios 30@30 #1 Christian Weaver

Hello and welcome to this special edition of The Grateful Web: Rogue Studios 30@30 celebrating 30 years of Rogue Artists’ Studios in Manchester. During the 30 day run-up to our annual Open Studios, I’ll be sharing a daily short podcast featuring one of our studio members, highlighting the incredible diversity of practices that make Rogue such a vital creative community. This year, Rogue marks its 30th anniversary with a special Open Studios and the launch of Soft Proof—a group exhibition curated by Short Supply, celebrating the unfinished, the in-progress, and the unapologetically imperfect.Today, I’m delighted to welcome musician, musical instrument maker and photographer Christian Weaver to talk about his work. Do come and visit Christian in his basement studio during open studios where you can see examples of his work and chat about his connections to Cuba and why he makes and donates drums to musicians in Cuba. You can view his photography at http://christian-weaver.pixpa.com/ and his music at https://soundcloud.com/latimbala  Listen to the podcasts @the_grateful_web on ACAST, Spotify and Apple music or wherever you get your podcasts.Join us at 2–6 Barrass Street, Openshaw, on Saturday 20th September from 12–8pm to explore over 100 artists’ studios inside the historic Varna Street School. The exhibition runs until the 5th of October. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
