The World Turned Upside Down is a 4-part audio documentary sharing stories of how the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic has impacted upon the lives and livelihoods of people working in the creative industries in Northern Ireland.

In Part 1, we go back to the beginning – to the dramatic turn of events in early March when national lockdowns across Ireland and the United Kingdom were introduced. We share the lockdown stories of Maven co-founder Patricia McGinnis, freelance illustrator Jacky Sheridan, videographer Sean Duncan from Redcap Productions, and Derry-based games production company Hypixel.

Presented by Graeme Watson and Karishma Kusurkar.

Produced in association with Blick Shared Studios, with support from Future Screens NI, Northern Ireland Screen, and Ulster University.

Supporting Academic Research by Dr. Brian Dixon.
