In our first episode Tia talks to the immensely talented Ellie Ward about their vivid and thought provoking poetry. In a playful and honest exchange, the two talk about life in Thanet, both past and present, the power of teenage girls, and the emerging local poetry scene.
Next Gen
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
