In this episode, we speak with freelance event organiser, cultural programmer and human talent networker Adam Turkington of Seedhead Arts. Adam does so much, it’s almost impossible to categorize him, and yet he is often the hidden presence behind so many of the things that are defining a new identity for Belfast, Northern Ireland – from the street parties of the annual Culture
Night and the mesmerising street art, to quirky sold out lectures and entertainment events like Midweek Magic and the Half Cut Cabaret.
In this conversation, we ask Adam about the journey he took to becoming what he calls a ‘freelance agitator’, discussing some of the major projects he has been involved with along the way such as the
Trans Festival, Culture Night and Hit the North. We also speak about his new project, Vault, a creative community and shared studio space located in an abandoned college campus building in East Belfast.
