In today’s What Next? podcast, Stella Duffy writer, theatre maker and driving force behind Fun Palaces talks about why she thinks ‘everyone an artist, everyone a scientist’.

This summer our What Next? series returns asking questions about what the future of the arts within society might look like. We’ve invited guest speakers to give their thoughts, in a series of podcast talks, about the role of the arts in cities, in local communities, right now. Each day throughout our Festival we’ll be releasing a podcast which you can find on our blog, on our website, on SoundCloud or iTunes.

The speakers come from a range of backgrounds, from the arts to social enterprise, to business leadership and futurism. Each talk covers a topic they are passionate about, addressing and provoking challenges for the future. We want to spark discussion, and you’re invited to join in @SpitsMusic #WhatNext
