Conversations Over a Brew

Conversations Over a Brew is back! Join Youngsook Choi and Radha D’Souza, Frances Disley and Sean Roy Parker, and Lucy Powell and Fiona Whelan for three special in depth episodes exploring Care and the Commons the theme for our With For About conference (2023).

In this episode, we hear from artists Frances Disley and Sean Roy Parker, both of whom led workshops that asked us to consider the ways in which we can build meaningful relationships with our more-than-human neighbours.

The following discussion between Frances and Roy explores the common threads running through their work, as well as contemplating what it means to think of ourselves as part of a diverse community of beings, human or otherwise, and the responsibilities that come with this acknowledgement.
