Christy´s Purple Conversations Christy Ringrose

«Scientists are exploring the natural world, we artists are exploring the deeper human experience». In this episode we discuss art as expressing «more than we can see», childhood as a place to live safely beside our fears, and ask the question: Why is art important?.

In this conversation with French geoscientist and art-lover Emmanuel Causse we talk about the art we create and experience in our every-day lives. From the music we listen to on the bus, to the display of flowers in our living room or the food we serve at dinner - we have opportunities to create something beautiful.

Fergie Robson is a Scottish history teacher and songwriter. He did an MA in Music (Songwriting) at The University of The West of Scotland where he wrote a number of songs about historical characters including Marie Curie, Einstein and Edison. These historical characters are all considered by experts to have had communication disorders, based on evidence of their childhood and later lives.Today we talk about how songs, poems and visual art can shape our idea of history, and how we can use creativity to teach the next generation.

This time I am in conversation with producer, musician and educator, Liina Turtonen (LNA). What is music production? What´s the relationship between producer and artist? Why is our creativity so often held back because of fear?

Today´s guest is Kristen Lorraine talking about the creative process, becoming a mother and her new poetry book "When I Saw You I Knew" (2020).
