We dedicate this series of Conversations Over A Brew to getting behind the scenes of Strong Women; a public art project highlighting the untold stories of local women, created by mosaic artist Carrie Reichardt, in collaboration with communities in St Helens and Knowsley.
Over the next four episodes we’ll explore a number of different aspects of this project. We’ll delve into local histories, hear from community members, and speak with artists and researchers about their work as part of a collective effort to make visible the histories and legacies of our Strong Women.
In this episode we speak with working class community historian Dr Greig Campbell and local historian, specialising in the history of Halewood, Sam Best. The pair chat about the importance of oral histories, and how they collaborated to train and support community members at Knowsley Archive (Kirkby Library), to capture oral histories about women in Knowsley. Interviews from the project will be stored beyond the project, alongside lots of other local history, at Knowsley Archive.
Conversations Over a Brew is a series of intimate recorded conversations exploring the stories of the people we make art with.
