What does peripheries mean to you? More in importantly, what does it mean to the eight artists who answered our open call?

In this episode we find out as we discuss what it means to be on the edge of things, open call culture, and the arts eco-system. Recorded on 8th May 2026 at the Peripheries launch event at 1853 Studios & Gallery in Oldham, Greater Manchester, the exhibition runs until 23rd May.

This podcast and Peripheries were funded by The Arts Council.
