Telling Stories

Ariel Mejia

Ariel is one of those makers, you’ll be listening to her work and suddenly a line in the writing will pull you out of your mind and into your body. I felt this experience when listening to her piece Chasing Purple. In this episode we explore the power of language, bending time and D.I.Y identities . You can listen to the episode here.

TAKEAWAYS

I like this question that Ari asks midway through the interview. “What does it sound like when your looking at a version of yourself you don’t recognise?”. This could make an interesting sound prompt!
