Led by Ruth Beale, this workshop will explore the ways that podcast-making can be a meaningful part of art practice. We will listen to a range of podcasts and share tips and learnings from the making of True Currency: About Feminist Economics, a podcast series by The Alternative School of Economics (Ruth Beale and Amy Feneck) produced as part of a residency at Gasworks, London. Ruth Beale & Amy Feneck have been collaborating as The Alternative School of Economics since 2012. As an 'alternative school', they link artists' practice with self-education as a way to study economics and economies. They are interested in reciprocal modes of learning and making, and their projects with communities create a framework for investigating political, social and cultural issues. They use diverse and creative methodologies and collaborate with experts from a variety of disciplines, from sociologists to writers, to produce film, graphics, photography, texts and clothing, as forms of activation, dissemination and reflection. Current and upcoming projects include Rabbits Road Institute Library, a community collection of books with connections to East London, and The End of the Present, a residency with Arts Catalyst. Past projects include Speaking to the City, billboard commission with Phytology, London, and The Britishness Project with Firstsite, Colchester. Visit their website to find out more.
