Gemma Cairney | In the Studio | Factory+

We visit Gemma Cairney in her studio to talk about the importance of community and care in her creative practice.

From her formative years working in broadcast to discovering her written voice to creating The Immortal Sisterhood LIVE, Gemma reflects on her journey – with input from the people she has worked with and championed along the way.

Gemma Cairney is a multi-award-winning broadcaster and published author as well as the host of our podcast, Dream Space. In October 2026, she presented The Immortal Sisterhood LIVE at Aviva Studios.

Dream Space season 4 is coming soon. Listen to all episodes here.

What does art have the power or potential to do, when we allow ourselves to dream?

Gemma Cairney takes listeners on a journey through an imaginary, limitless space. There’s infinite resources. A blank canvas.

The challenge? To create your dream artistic utopia.

With Maxine Peake, Ai Weiwei, Nish Kumar, Marina Abramavić and more.
