A new quarterly event from Seedhead Arts looking at the specifics of being a independent creative. Doors at 5pm, we start about 5.30.
How does being an individual who’s in business differ from a corporation? What do you want from ‘work’? How do you achieve work/life balance when you believe that what you’re doing is important? AND WHATS THE BLOODY POINT OF IT ALL????
In this our fifth event we'll be talking to KVLR. If you know anything about Belfast Street art then you know that Kev is an instrumental figure. The orignal Belfast street artist who rarely gives interviews. We'll be talking about what it was like when the only Belfast street art was political murals and how things began to change and a bunch of other shite.
Over coming events we'll be exploring the idea that when society seems to be at breaking point we need new ways of seeing money and work and value and identity and community. Is it nuts to think that creatives can help? And what does that loSo we enjoyed our last recording so much we've decided not to wait till next month to do another but take advantage of the fact that Holly Pereira is in town and get her on. In a break from tradition we're going to try it on a Wednesday in a coffee shop called Hjem which is in the UU Belfat Building off Cathedral Gardens.
We first met Holly in 2018 when we invited her to paint at Hit the North. I have a vivid memory of when Benen and I were sorting out the paint order and when we had her colours together we both looked at each other and nodded approvingly. Since then we've tried to work with her as much as we can... which can be hard as she's also a singer, designer and TV presenter... and probably more we haven't even herad of.
More than that though she has such a powerful energy about her - we really wanted to dig a bit into what makes her tick.
As usual tickets are free but limited and the recording will be released on our Patreon shortly after the event.
Chances are it's incremental...
