HAZEL TALKS Hazel Brown Creative

In the latest episode of HAZEL TALKS, Hazel Brown chats to Hanna Benihoud an artist and architect with a focus on storytelling through public art.

We chat about shaving off all her hair and moving half way across the globe to pursue a career as an artist, storytelling through art and communities and the benefits and pitfalls of Instagram and its algorithm.

In episode 5 of my HAZEL TALKS podcast, I chat to Lonan Blackbird Jenkins and Sam Rix (Rixy) of The Embers Collective. 

The Embers Collective are a group of multi-talented storytelling performers, artists, musicians, actors and more. We had a thought provoking and fun discussion about storytelling in its various forms!
