Off the Leash Podcasts is proud to publish a series of shortcasts supporting the Emily Williamson Festival. Emily was a co-founder of the RSPB and an eco-activist before the term was even invented. Taking inspiration from her legacy, modern day change-makers will be exploring the links between Conservation, Campaigning, Science and Art in a weekend of events at Manchester Art Gallery between the 12th and 13th of November.
In this shortcast we hear from artist and sculptural choreographer Hazel Reeves, who is currently the artist in residence at the world-renowned Knepp Wildland Estate in West Sussex where she is surrounded by a surging population of Nightingales and creates remarkable soundscapes filled with the sounds of nature, like the beautiful 'Sculptural Murmurings Project'.
