We recorded this episode before the pandemic in the summer of 2019.

This episode of the podcast was recorded on the 29 JUNE 2019. It was a beautiful sunny day and the gallery was filled with light and packed for the opening of Twist by Cardiff-based artist Cecile Johnson Soliz. Afterwards we sat outside in the sunshine eating some food and we all had such a lovely time. We were so sad to hear that Phyllida Barlow had died in March 2023. Over the years she has inspired so many, and was such a warm and genuinely nice person.
