MIF Originals

MIF Originals invites artists to reimagine the podcast as an audio arts space. In each episode, a different creative developing new work for Manchester International Festival 2019 will make an imaginative, sound-based feature – whilst exploring the nature of their own creativity. We ask: Why is it important to have new ideas? Is it still possible to be original?

Commissioned by Manchester International Festival. Produced by Reduced Listening and Manchester International Festival.
