Consuming Culture

By: Cat McShane
  • Summary

  • How and why does culture unfold?

    Covering subjects as varied as binge tv, £20 couture, fandom, cancer and Sex and the City, this series is a funny, fascinating and honest series featuring probing interviews by journalist Cat McShane with original, and often queer voices from across the arts and culture spectrum. What does it mean to be an artist when the big issues of the day, like wealth inequality, advances in technology and people-powered social movements are fundamentally altering the way culture is made, consumed and valued?

  • Jamila Johnson-Small
    Apr 5 2021


    Jamila Johnson Small is a London-based artist, dancer and choreographer, and an innovator in live performance. Blurring genres and working with collaborators from across disciplines, Jamila creates charged worlds of sensory impact for performers and audiences alike. 

    Journalist Cat McShane spoke to Jamila at the beginning of March 2021, at the end of a long year of lockdown, where live performance has largely been impossible. It was a conversation spanning dream diaries, exploitative auditions and how feelings surface when Jamila dances.

  • Bruce Ingram
    Apr 5 2021

    Inside the artist studio with Bruce Ingram, a sculptor and painter who uses discarded materials and recycles every day consumer objects in a process that he describes as spontaneous but also brutal. Artworks are constantly being re-assessed and physically deconstructed to explore what else it could be. A believer in renewal from destruction, is there a life lesson in his methodology?
