In episode five, Shape's Creative Producer Elinor Hayes catches up with long-time friend of Shape, artist Abi Palmer, to talk all things slug. Abi's current projects - Slime Mother at Chapter Cardiff (for which Shape provided audio description and which is open until October 6th 2024) and Slugs: A Manifesto - explore slugs as a metaphor for disability, religion, and society as a whole.
The conversation also includes three readings from Slugs by Abi as well as three of the audio description tracks from the exhibition.

Victoria Gray’s ‘Welter’ (2021), made in collaboration with Sam Williams, is the conclusion of many months of artist development with Shape Arts and is premiered today across Shape channels, though the work itself - defying expected parameters of what an artwork ‘is’ - has been in production since 2017, supported by an Artsadmin Artists’ Bursary.
