Dream Space
A new podcast from Factory International, hosted by Gemma Cairney.
Welcome to Dream Space
What does art have the power or potential to do, when we allow ourselves to dream?
In Dream Space we take listeners on a journey through an imaginary, limitless space. There’s Infinite resources. A blank canvas. The challenge: to stage your dream art extravaganza.
Which musicians, artists, film directors, or theatre practitioners would you invite to exhibit work? What food or drink would be served? What guests would you invite to share in your experience?
Gemma Cairney poses these questions to some of the world’s most exciting artistic minds in a new podcast from Factory International - with guests including Maxine Peake, Scottee and Sabrina Mahfouz.
In each episode we get to know our guest, find out what makes them tick, what brings them joy and inspiration. Together we create a new vision, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and ask what kind of art the world needs now.
