For this episode, Kat Bevan, Midge Ryall and Zara Worth, current participants of The Collective Studio at The NewBridge Project, present Ask Me Anything!

The penultimate episode of Series 2 is a conversation between Ilana, Hannah, Helen, Lorna, Marwa and Katy who were all involved in artist Bobby Baker's Great and Tiny War project last year. The project, commissioned as part of 14-18-NOW, a series of World War I centenary art commissions, took place in an immersive installation in a house on Sidney Grove in Newcastle and featured an audio guided tour. The project aimed to highlight the role of women during wartime and the impact of war on mental health.
