This episode is the first of another two-part interview, this time featuring artist, photographer and filmmaker, Megan Powell. Megan is a lecturer at the University of Salford and, as you’ll hear in both episodes, is not only an inspiration to her students but also has suffered several traumatic experiences in her life that have had a dramatic impact on her approach to the creative arts. As a consequence, there are some distressing themes discussed and I have added some relevant helpline links below should you be impacted by any of the content.
