What does a place like Thanet have to offer the next wave of creatives? This is possibly too big a topic to cover in a single series. However, we’re going to be investigating this very question in our brand new show, ‘NextGen’. An interview based series that talks to young artists and creatives about their journeys, their inspirations and what it’s like stepping in to a perhaps unpredictable creative sector.
Hosted by the immensely talented Tia Duff, the first series looks at artists that grew up in Thanet, from aspiring landscape architects, to painters, to actors - some choosing to stick around and others having escaped to other parts of the UK
Felicia Buena is a British-Caribbean multidisciplinary creative, focusing on music, poetry and visual arts. Growing up in Ramsgate by the sea has brought a lot of colour to her work where she enjoys exploring human interaction and relationships in her poetry and music.
