26min Episode 1 of 6

An insightful chat (recorded over a brew) between artist Andy Field and Scarlett, a school girl from St Helens. The pair reflect on working together and wonder if children have super powers for imagining the future.
The focus is on children's perspectives, and the power and possibility they hold for reimagining the world around us. To explore these themes, we hear from artist Andy Field and Scarlett, a primary school pupil from St Helens. Andy, and his partner Beckie Darlington, make work that starts conversations between children and adults. Over this past year Andy and Beckie have worked with 146 children from across St Helens to create a guidebook about the town from the perspectives of its young people. Simply titled, The Book Of St Helens, this guidebook takes you on a unique journey through the town, highlighting the area's magical possibilities. Scarlett was one of the children who worked with Andy and Beckie to make The Book Of St Helens.
