Beneath Clouded Hills, Episode 3: Lesions in the Land
Artist-researchers Verity Birt and Una Hamilton Helle are on a search for Deep England, asking what the term means and where to find it? To help them on their journey they speak to artists, writers, musicians and academics whose research and practices broaden the pastoral picture. In this episode they speak to broadcaster, DJ and writer Zakia Sewell, whose podcast series My Albion was a quest for the more mystical and inclusive side of England. They also go on a journey through deep time with paleontologist Angharad Jones and experimental vocal trio CRONE (Blue Firth, Freya Barlow and Isabel Jones) through the caves of Creswell Crags.
