<p>Steve Chapman, better known as Steve Xoh, is a visual artist and creator with an unusual, yet endearing and playful twist on reality. </p><p>In this episode we talk about Steve's wide-spanning array of unique ideas and his need to constantly create. </p><p>With a seemingly endless pit of inspiration, from the surreal to the down right silly, he captures his audiences imagination and brings them along for the ride. </p><p>Despite the huge success of some of these projects, Steve has an admirable and intuitive sense of when to stop. Despite his fans often wanting more. </p><p>I've been one of those fans for a while now, and talking to him here only deepened my admiration and respect for him as an artist and all-round great guy. </p><p>Hope you enjoy the episode.

Don Travis

<p>In this episode I speak with Don Travis, photographer and co-founder of Future Hackney. </p><p>Don has lived in Hackney almost her whole life and is passionate about her community and it's cultural diversity. </p><p>Future Hackney is a public art project, telling stories of the area and it's people's through photographic imagery in public spaces. </p><p>We talk about her current displays, Gillet Square Stories and Protest Stories - both of which are currently live and can be seen in Dalston and Hackney, respectively. </p><p>We also chat about current issues facing the East End and the country at large. We discuss how Don's documenting of protest groups such as; Just Stop Oil, Extinction Rebellion, Trans Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter and many more, alongside the current strike action have given Don optimism for a more positive future. </p><p>Don is a really strong and inspirational woman, so it's fitting that this episode is released on International Woman's Day 2023. </p><p>Enjoy. </p><p>You can follow Future Hackney here @futurehackney</p>

Tiffany Roubert

<p>In this episode I sit down with French film photographer, Tiffany Roubert.</p><p>In 2018 Tiffany took on a part-time role with Alternative London while she developed her photography career. During the pandemic she spent time in her wife, Carla’s native Brazil and took her photography full time.</p><p>Tiffany’s images capture a life lived in the moment and her style, along with her obvious rapport with her subjects, can turn the most mundane situations into pieces of art of the highest quality.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Needless to say, I love Tiff’s work and have really enjoyed seeing her evolving as an artist and building up a well-deserved, dedicated fanbase over the past few years.</p><p>Last week saw the release of her first publication – In Between – so I thought it was a good time to catch up and talk about her journey since leaving Alternative London a few years back.</p><p>Due to a mistake with the recording, we unfortunately lost the first ten minutes and had to start again. A shame, as we were in full flow and it felt a bit contrived revisiting those parts but I think we found our way back in.</p><p>Hope you enjoy it. You can follow Tiffany’s work here: @tiffanyroubert</p><p><br></p>
