Join me for a Wander with the brilliant Lindsay Martin Lindsay is one of my favourite humans and I always look forward to a wander with her. We walked over and around the Severn Ham, Tewkesbury, North Gloucestershire. Why not try listening to this on a walk? As always be careful, take a torch or phone and let someone you trust know where you are walking. During the chat we talked through the scarcity mindset, the idea of working seasonally, the value of being part of a community and how liberating it can be when you just ‘try something out’ - although that is often easier said than done. If anything we talked about resonated for you too, please do reach out and leave a review! If you have a creative practice, please reach out to me: justincasezine@gmail.com or via Instagram: www.instagram.com/justincaseizinelibrary.com >> Next Month I’m off to the Tremula Festival for the first time.

The Summer SolsticeThe moving of the seasons and marking of mid-summer The earthy smell of Petrichor, exhaled from the earth after it absorbs the heat of the dayThe feeling of peace and being grounded when so much is changing around usMy friend and collaborator Lindsay Martin has created Solstice Songs a beautiful evening to mark midsummer, with a specially curated playlist of songs, which she is performing Live in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. Lindsay has invited me to be a creative collaborator on Solstice Songs, this is the second session, with the next marked for Mid-Winter. I hope you find peace and a sense of feeling grounded whilst listening to this.Thank you for listening, send me an Audio Postcard soon...

A special edition of AP: Wandering with Creatives with Risée Chaderton-Charles. Risée is a guest artist from Barbados presenting ‘Caribbean Atlantean’ as part of SITE Festival in Stroud. Showing a new series of digital collage pieces created by merging photography, digital illustration, text, and watercolour  which tell the stories of Africans who jumped from the slave ships - who chose the water instead of the world of colonisers.Her work is at SVA in Stroud until 22 June 2025. I really enjoyed our time together, hearing about her practice - delving into her what motivates her work and finding out a bit more about her journey as an artist was a privilege and I'm very grateful to her for taking the time out from a very busy week in the UK to spend time wandering past the lake and busy traffic of Stroud. Also am very chuffed I got to witness her first experience of seeing a swan in person. Thanks to Jo at SVA for her support and Introductions. Enjoy!
