INSPIRE: In conversation with Shane Meadows

In this exclusive interview, Melanie talks to Shane about how stories born out of place can have resonance locally as well as outside of that context.

How artists can be inspired to look beyond the surface and create new narratives about identity. How extraordinary characters, born out of real people can have deeper resonance and how the line between ‘fact’ and fiction is always finely drawn.

There will be time at the end to ask your own questions of Shane.

This event will (Shane’s schedule allowing) be in-person with additional spaces available for people to join online too.
